In recent years, Lange Group, by using digital technology and independent research and development, has for the first time launched the digital product concept of EBC management system and a series of product matrices in China's iron and steel industry, providing perfect solutions and products and services for the upstream and downstream enterprises of the whole iron and steel industry chain to realize information upgrading, digital transformation, intelligent and big data construction. Realize the whole process of iron and steel industry chain, integrated intelligent management and control.

President Liu Taoran said that Lange Iron and Steel network and Metallurgical Planning Institute, for the steel industry to see the value of digital intelligence to make a modest contribution, is a kind of expectation, but also a kind of responsibility. In the future, Lange Group will continue to promote the high-quality development of China's iron and steel industry, with the goal of improving the intellectualization level of the iron and steel industry, and provide customers with services closer to their needs and more touching.

Li Yongjun, chief economic analyst of China Iron and Steel Association, was invited to make a special invited report on the Understanding of the Development Law and Current situation of the Iron and Steel industry for this forum. He pointed out that the transnational transfer of the industry is related to the integration of the world economy, industrial division of labor and cooperation, and is related to the industrial competitiveness of a country. In principle, the basic industry must be retained by developed economies. A country built on manufacturing must be supported by a steel industry.

Based on the research and judgment of the current development situation of China's iron and steel industry, Li Yongjun, the chief economic analyst, analyzed the main direction of intellectualization of the steel industry, stressing that the whole industry should focus on the fundamental task of comprehensively improving the industrial base and industrial chain level, and adhere to the two development themes of green development and intelligent manufacturing. We will focus on addressing the three major pain points in controlling production capacity expansion, promoting industrial concentration, and ensuring resource security, and continue to promote internationalization
