The development of a new generation of industrial software cannot be separated from fully open enterprise application scenarios. Tianyu Software, which specializes in providing information and collaborative management, digital design, data security and other supporting software and engineering consulting services for Chinese manufacturing enterprises, will become Huawei’s new generation PDM system supplier in 2020. Two years later, Tianyu IntePLM will successfully replace Huawei’s foreign products that have been mature for 20 years. It is fully compatible with the massive historical structured data and electronic files in the original PDM system, and keeps the operation interface and process of R&D personnel unchanged, so as to achieve the localization of PDM software smoothly and stably.
In the process of replacement switching, Huawei’s excellent practical experience in product data classification management, purchase parts preference level recommendation and other scenarios is transformed into product data classification management, product data multi-view, purchase parts preference level and other functions and services, becoming one of the key capabilities of the flagship version of IntePLM.
Enterprises providing key software and engineering consulting services for the manufacturing industry, including Tianyu Software, have gradually realized that industrial software is the precipitation and softwareization of industrial technology, with long-term technical inheritance and high scenario dependence. Without the use and feedback of industrial enterprise users, industrial software is difficult to develop and grow only through software engineering. Industrial head enterprises need to actively open the scene, and promote the continuous improvement and iterative growth of industrial software through rich application scenarios.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the past ten years, the scale of China’s software industry has increased by about 2.8 times, from 2,479.4 billion yuan in 2012 to 9,499.4 billion yuan in 2021, with an average annual growth rate of 16.1%, ranking among the top industries in the national economy. The proportion of the software and information service industry in the electronic information industry increased from 23.4% in 2012 to 33.0% in 2021, becoming an important means to enhance the scale of the IT industry.
According to the market share report of the enterprise side of industrial Internet platform released by IDC at the end of 2022, the market size of the enterprise side of China’s industrial Internet platform, that is, the platform and application solution market, has reached 12.79 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of 47.4%.
Under the wave of industrial Internet, based on the autonomy of software development tools and their increasingly powerful innovation ability, more and more enterprises have joined the exploration of digital transformation.
The digital transformation of industry is born of the opportunity for change and is essential for development. Returning to the original intention of digital transformation of industrial enterprises, “on the cloud” has never been the ultimate goal, how to continue to optimize after the cloud, fully release cloud computing dividends, and deploy good applications is the key.
With the decisive card of software development autonomy, industrial enterprises have a winning tool for consolidating the new base of industrial digitalization. This is also the key to activating the “spring water” of industrial digital transformation.
