Accelerate intelligent manufacturing, technological innovation, reorganization and integration

There are two sides to everything. There are opportunities behind challenges. Although the epidemic has a short-term impact on the iron and steel industry, it also makes enterprises more clear about the direction of future development. Many enterprises said that they would face difficulties and seize opportunities to promote industrial optimization and upgrading.
Make manufacturing "strong" - speed up intelligent manufacturing, enhance anti risk ability and comprehensive strength.
All the control rooms are centralized, all the operation posts are equipped with robots, all the equipment are remotely monitored, all the sales and procurement services are online - as the "leader" of the national steel industry, the "Four Unifications" of intelligent manufacturing promoted by China Baowu since 2018 provides a powerful weapon to deal with the risks. "Baoshan base of Baosteel Co., Ltd. has suffered little impact due to the realization of remote operation and maintenance and no need for employees on site." In Chen Derong's view, the impact of the epidemic makes people's understanding of intelligent manufacturing more unified and their willingness to invest more strongly.
"During the epidemic, the level of intelligence has become a key factor in the normal production of enterprises." Li Xinchuang believes that the iron and steel industry should take this opportunity to do a good job in digital, networking and intelligent upgrading, and make up for the shortcomings in automatic control system of production process, customized intelligent manufacturing and intelligent hardware.
Let the products be "refined" - speed up technological innovation and enhance the added value and competitiveness of products.
"Enterprises like Xingcheng Special Steel Co., Ltd. produce high value-added special steel products, with gross profit two or three times that of ordinary steel, which is our example!" Jia faling realized more and more clearly that in the future, iron and steel enterprises should not only produce ordinary goods, but also take the road of competitive differentiation and product characteristics through transformation and upgrading, "as long as the products are excellent, the enterprises can also stand firm when the market fluctuates."
"At present, the epidemic is spreading all over the world. Product import, technology introduction and personnel exchange are affected. The iron and steel industry should take this opportunity to break the idea of" waiting, relying and buying "and improve its ability of independent innovation." Li Xinchuang suggested that, in the next step, we should mobilize innovative resources in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, create an innovative ecosystem integrating production, learning, research and application, and promote technological breakthroughs in key products such as axles, wheels, bearings, high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel for high-speed trains.
Let the structure be "excellent" - speed up the joint reorganization and appropriately improve the industry concentration.
"China's iron and steel production is large, but there are small-scale enterprises, scattered distribution, low equipment level, and disorder in the industry." According to Chen Derong, this requires China's steel industry to improve its concentration. At present, the most reasonable, economical and efficient way is joint restructuring and M & A. "the ability of enterprises to fight alone is limited, and restructuring will bring win-win results." Li Xinchuang said that under the influence of the epidemic, the operating efficiency of some enterprises declined, and some of them were short of working capital, which aroused the willingness of reorganization again. "The steel industry ushered in a window of opportunity for merger and reorganization."
Chen Derong said that China Baowu is fully confident and determined to achieve the goal of the whole year through hard work. Shen Wenrong said that Shagang should shoulder its responsibilities, stand the test and take active actions, and try its best to get back the delayed time Looking forward to the future, a steel enterprise is as confident and ambitious as tough steel!
