On February 7th, the Southern Daily published a special report on "Duxing New Bureau" for the Chinese New Year, titled "SiE Information Building the" Digital Brain "of the Manufacturing Industry".
Since its listing in 2017, the compound annual growth rate of revenue has exceeded 22%, and the total operating revenue in the first three quarters of 2021 has increased by 42.5% year-on-year to 1.37 billion yuan; Setting up a base in Shanghai will form a "South China+East China" dual wheel drive development pattern in the future... With the deepening of digitization, as a native Guangdong industrial software enterprise, SiE Information is constantly challenging one development peak after another.
High quality leads to strong manufacturing. Currently, industrial software plays an indispensable central and core role in intelligent manufacturing. If the industrial internet connects equipment in the physical world and data in the information world, then industrial software is the "super brain" of intelligent manufacturing, and the value of data is reflected in the analysis and processing process of industrial software. The SQMS (Quality Management System) independently developed by SiE Information can help manufacturing enterprises build strong quality management capabilities and promote high-quality development of manufacturing production processes.
The Silent Data of Salvage Production Line
For Shunde Xiaojia Delma, in the past, they also faced "happiness troubles" during peak production seasons, with multiple products often in short supply. With the advanced planning and scheduling system built by SiE Information, enterprises can provide early warning for orders that may be overdue or abnormal, prioritize production resource scheduling, and ensure the timely delivery of products.
After digital transformation, Delma has achieved comprehensive collection of workshop production progress and real-time production data. By effectively mining and analyzing these data, it can quickly improve production efficiency while also achieving quantitative control of production costs. Now, from sales orders, quality, inventory, equipment status to automatic alarm and shipment of materials, it is clear at a glance that managers can remotely monitor the entire production process across regions and factories through PC and mobile devices.
This is a microcosm of SiE Information's assistance in digital transformation of enterprises. Zhang Chengkang, Chairman of SiE Information, noticed that customers' understanding of digitalization is becoming deeper and deeper, and they have shifted from a scale oriented approach to a quality oriented approach, placing greater emphasis on product quality and business capabilities. At the same time, the idea that information systems were just a tool no longer exists, but firmly believes that digital systems have become one of the core competitiveness of enterprises.
The deep application of digitization has also made the data jumping on the production line a new growth engine for enterprises. Over the past year, competition between industries has become increasingly fierce due to factors such as rising prices of bulk raw materials, "shortage of cores", and rising labor costs. To quickly respond to the market, precise data analysis is even more necessary.
The digital management system of SiE Information can help customers conduct in-depth data analysis. At the same time, this information can also be quickly transmitted to suppliers, and the final product can also be quickly delivered to consumers. Throughout the entire supply chain process from prediction to planning, procurement, supply, inventory, and shipment, data has become an important 'baton' for production.
Zhang Chengkang analyzed that in the past, there was also a lack of data in the production process, but there were many "blind spots". Taking sales data as an example, in the traditional distributor model, the sales data held by the enterprise management is only the sales data sold by the manufacturer to the distributor. From the perspective of the enterprise, the task has been completed, but in reality, this data is incomplete and it is likely that these goods are being held by the distributor. Now, the enterprise management can further track the final direction of these goods.
'Metaverse' empowers manufacturing industry
With the application of big data, the concept of "metaverse" has attracted much attention. The 'Metaverse' will provide a new path for digital transformation for various industries, and the manufacturing industry will also achieve deep integration with it.
In fact, in the industrial field, the "metaverse" represented by digital twins is not unfamiliar. The so-called digital twin refers to digitizing the existence in the physical world and using software to promote the integration of the physical world and the virtual digital world. Predict trial and error in the digital world and automatically feed back the results to the physical world, thereby automatically adjusting production or operation methods. For the very important simulation technology in digital twins, SiE Information has taken the lead in achieving autonomy in China

Zhang Chengkang, Chairman of SiE Information:
Developing Industrial Software Should Adhere to "Long termism"
Southern Daily: In the outline of the 14th Five Year Plan, digitization has been raised to an unprecedented height, with "digitization" appearing 25 times as a keyword in the entire text and "data" appearing 53 times as a keyword. How to understand digitization?
Zhang Chengkang: Data driven has become the norm in commercial marketing. A client enterprise of SiE Information attaches great importance to information system construction. This enterprise connects existing data and conducts in-depth data mining. Now this company focuses on online transactions and is preparing to explore overseas markets. Behind this, online data is also needed to guide order production.
Southern Daily: The past year marks the beginning of the 14th Five Year Plan and the 20th anniversary of China's accession to the World Trade Organization. In the new year, standing at a new starting point, how do you view the development of industrial software?
Zhang Chengkang: SiE Information initially started as an agent and introduced the best software from abroad. The management software of industry giants such as Siemens and Oracle has accumulated a lot of experience for us. SiE Information stands on the shoulders of giants, gradually developing its own software. With the deepening of the concept of autonomy and controllability, domestic enterprises are also paying more attention to domestic software. At the same time, there are a very rich range of manufacturing categories and many state-of-the-art manufacturing application scenarios in China, which have become the "fertile soil" for the growth of domestic software.
We hope to work with customers to continuously refine the platform based on these application scenarios and create excellent software that meets their needs. Currently, more and more companies are willing to give domestic software companies the opportunity to try and make mistakes.
Southern Daily: This year's Guangdong Provincial Government Work Report also mentioned digitization multiple times, and industrial software is an indispensable underlying foundation behind the digitalization and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry. What can Guangdong enterprises do to break through the "bottleneck" technology?
Zhang Chengkang: Developing domestic industrial software is not only the key for China to improve its intelligent manufacturing level and participate in international competition, but also an important means to achieve "digital China".
In fact, foreign software companies have also fallen through many "pitfalls" and continued to grow. Industrial management software still needs time to settle. Many design software still have certain gaps in terms of scalability, configurability, and other aspects, which requires adhering to a "long-term perspective". For example, there is a saying in the industry that "the world's customized home appliances see China". In industries such as customized home appliances, there is a great opportunity to grow into strong industrial software companies. We also learn and educate through party history, draw strength, and firmly adhere to the mission of independent innovation. We firmly shoulder the historical burden of tackling key technologies that have become a bottleneck, accurately identify changes, scientifically adapt, and actively seek change. We believe that China's industrial software industry has ushered in the best development era.
