With the growing demand for digital transformation in the industrial manufacturing sector, the industrial software applied to this sector is also evolving. At present, the pace of digital transformation of China's manufacturing industry continues to accelerate, and the country's attention to industrial software continues to increase. Achieving self-reliance in science and technology at a high level is the key to China's modernization drive.
