Development of Industrial Software for Building Materials Industry

The building materials industry is the foundation of national economy. Intelligent reforms and digital transformations have deepened the application of new technologies and brought about more digital scenarios, which drives the development of industrial software for the building materials industry and facilitates the high-quality development of the building materials industry. Industrial software is a link that connects industrial design and manufacturing processes with informatization, intelligence, and digitization. In this study, we categorize the industrial software for the building materials industry into the following four types based on industrial characteristics, technical processes, and core functions of the software: operation management; research, development and design; production control; and service support software. Subsequently, the development status of industrial software for the building materials industry in China and abroad is reviewed, and the gap between China and the advanced internati
