The State Administration for Market Regulation published three national
standards for intelligent manufacturing in China’s steel sector: Intelligent
Manufacturing Scrap Steel Smart Factory Design Requirements; Intelligent
Manufacturing Steel Smart Factory Digital Twin System Technical Requirements;
and Intelligent Manufacturing Steel Industry Multi-Base Manufacturing Resource
Collaborative Control System Technical Requirements. The standards target
scrap-steel plants, digital-twin systems and cross-site coordination and are
intended to support a unified advanced-manufacturing technical requirements
framework for China’s steel industry. They address long production processes,
numerous operations and complex interfaces, and persistent issues including
inconsistent design specifications across plants, duplicated system development,
poor data interoperability and difficulty coordinating resources across bases.
All three standards mandate a layered, decoupled architecture that defines
functional roles and technical boundaries at each layer to standardize
intelligent-system design and implementation.
