At present, the steel industry has made progress in basic automation, process automation and enterprise management systems, laying a good foundation for intelligent manufacturing in the steel industry.

The level of intelligent manufacturing of iron and steel enterprises is still uneven, the ability of independent innovation is weak, and the application of intelligentization is in its infancy. In the face of fierce market competition, domestic steel enterprises urgently need to promote intelligence to reduce costs and increase efficiency and maintain product competitiveness.

Recently, "2019 (2nd) Steel Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Practice Seminar" was held in Xingtai, Hebei. Li Xinchuang, dean of the Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, said that smart manufacturing is a realistic need for the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry and a strong guarantee for the high-quality development of the steel industry. At present, steel intelligent manufacturing is in its infancy, and cloud computing, big data and other technologies will achieve large-scale applications, and the industrial Internet platform has become an important focus.

At present, the steel industry has made progress in basic automation, process automation and enterprise management systems, laying a good foundation for intelligent manufacturing in the steel industry. The steel industry has now built nine smart manufacturing pilots, and pilot demonstration projects such as smart workshops, smart mines, and mass customization have achieved certain results.
