The policy is strong and the raw material industry is integrated into the industry

Strong policy, practical force, and application force. Under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the integration of the raw material industry is progressing steadily.

Reviewing the history of the development of China's raw material industry, in the process of promoting the integration of the two industries, the raw material industry started earlier and has a better foundation and effect. The implementation of the informatization of raw material companies has made a successful exploration for the continuous advancement of the integration of China and Taiwan, highlighting the exemplary and demonstration roles.

The policy has steadily advanced steadily in 2008. After the reform of China’s largest system, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was established. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote integration of the two industries as a key task.

In 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the first batch of eight national-level fusion pilot zones, including the oil and gas chemical industry in Chongqing and the Baosteel Group and other key raw materials industries in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The "Guidance Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Raw Materials Industry" was subsequently issued to provide new guidance for the integration of the raw materials industry. In 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first batch of pilot demonstration companies for integration and integration, including a number of energy, steel, and nonferrous metals and other raw material industry related companies including CNPC. In April 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly issued the “Several Opinions on Accelerating the In-depth Integration of Informatization and Industrialization,” and established a new system of theoretical integration of The development of the integration of the two industries in the raw materials industry during the "V" period has important guiding significance.

The two integrations lie in practice. In 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a symposium on the typical experience of the integration of informatization and industrialization in the national steel industry to further promote the integration of information and industrialization in the steel industry. In 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology completed the assessment report on the development level of integration of informatization and industrialization in the first batch of seven industries including steel and fertilizer. In the same year, the convening of the China Petrochemical and Chemical Industry Integration Promotion Conference effectively promoted the integration of the petrochemical industry. In 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched a “Dual Integration and Depth Integration” campaign in 9 provinces and cities. Some raw material-related companies, including Hebei Iron & Steel Chenggang, demonstrated their integration achievements at the event. These typical enterprise application cases were demonstrated. The promotion has effectively promoted the progress of the integration of raw materials companies.

The two integrations are in application. In August 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held an exchange meeting on the promotion of safe production through the integration of the two industries, and announced the first batch of two key integrated projects for safe production. These include steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, and building materials. In October 2011, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first batch of key promotion projects for integration of energy conservation and emission reduction, and raw materials related enterprises such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metals and building materials were still included. The subsequent merger of the two to promote energy-saving emission reduction experience exchange meeting, to promote the integration of the two promote the energy-saving emission reduction work of raw material companies have played an important role.

The establishment of a system to achieve basic automation Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has promoted the integration of the two technologies, raw material industrial companies have made significant progress in the informatization of their production processes, of which the petrochemical and steel industries are more prominent.

The production process of petrochemical companies has basically been automated. DCS, PLC, and industrial PCs have become the main control methods for large and medium-sized enterprises. More than 90% of companies use DCS. Some companies use the APC (advanced process control) system according to actual needs. And MES, of which the application of Sinopec production management information system is better. Chemical industry enterprises have basically achieved system control in their production processes, and advanced technologies such as fieldbus and DCS (Distributed Control System) real-time databases have been widely adopted. Energy, quality inspection and control technologies have received attention, and MES has become a hot spot for enterprise informationization in recent years.

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation stated that it is necessary to proceed from the perspective of building a world-class energy and chemical company to deepen its understanding of the importance and urgency of informationization work; actively and steadily push forward the pilot construction of refinery companies' smart factories; and do a good job of information systems. We will deepen the application work, and firmly implement the implementation of plans such as the ERP Deepening of Applications; vigorously promote the in-depth integration and integration of systems, processes, standards, and information systems, and attach great importance to information security management.

The main production processes of iron and steel enterprises basically universalize basic automation. Large enterprises generally adopt a relatively complete automation control system. The blast furnace system is close to 100%, and continuous casting and steel rolling reach 99%. Computer simulation technology is increasingly used in iron and steel smelting. MES (Manufacturing Execution System) has received widespread attention from steel companies. Baosteel has built a relatively complete basic automation, process control system, and MES, and has a four-level computer system that integrates vertically from the bottom up, and realizes seamless integration from each process control system to the company-level management information system.

In recent years, most companies have established different levels of management information systems. Most large and medium-sized enterprises in the raw material industry have implemented large-scale integrated management information systems such as ERP, of which the development of information management in iron and steel industry enterprises is more prominent. WISCO independently developed a decision support model for six-dimensional price system for product sales, data warehousing and data mining, and established an enterprise-level management system that was adapted to the entire process of steel. Nonferrous and medium-sized enterprises have established different levels of management information systems, and some large-scale key enterprises have established supply chain management systems and ERP systems. The “V5 Project” of China Minmetals Corporation covers all aspects from business to finance, and realizes the “end-to-end” financial business integration management.

At the same time, the business management of the company achieves integration of management and control, integration of production and sales, and integration of upstream and downstream industries. The sales generated by e-commerce in chemical companies accounted for more than 20% of total sales, and its application efficiency was more than double the national average. The petrochemical industry has a high degree of informatization in website promotion and material procurement. Some large companies have begun to try online sales and transactions. PetroChina's retail management information system has been widely applied and has realized the direct monitoring of substation gas station business data and facilities and equipment operations.
