本文着眼钢铁行业转型发展对工业软件的迫切需求以及钢铁工业软件产业发展存在的现实问题，梳理钢铁工业软件的发展现状，剖析制约钢铁工业发展的瓶颈与钢铁工业软件的短板，进而提出钢铁行业工业软件发展策略。相比国外同类工业软件产品，国产四大类钢铁工业软件发展呈现严重的不平衡态势：研发设计类工业软件最为薄弱，生产控制类、运营管理类工业软件具备了参与市场竞争的基本条件，服务保障类工业软件面临实施赶超的市场机遇；为此，需要针对性地制定各类钢铁工业软件发展策略，即“补短板、促替代、建长板、求创新”。研究建议，有效市场与有为政府相结合，积极调动各类资源并精准施策；充分发挥我国钢铁行业规模庞大、知识丰富、场景众多的特有优势，为国产工业软件提供更多的实践场景与迭代优化机会。这是破解钢铁行业工业软件困局的核心路径，将为钢铁行业高质量发展提供有力支撑，促进规模型发展转向质量效益型提升。

Considering the urgent demand for industrial software by the iron and steel industry during its transformation, we viewed the current status, analyzed the bottlenecks, and proposed the development strategies of the industrial software for iron and steel industry. Compared with similar products abroad, the four categories of industrial software in China develop in an imbalanced manner. Specifically, the research and development design software is the weakest among the four, the production control and operation management software are strong enough for market competition, and the service support software currently faces an opportunity for catching up with and even outpacing its international counterparts. Hence, targeted development strategies are required for each category of the industrial software. Market operation should be combined with government guidance to mobilize various resources and implement targeted policies. The unique advantages of large scale, rich knowledge, and numerous scenarios of China’s iron and steel industry should be maximized to provide more practical scenarios and iterative optimization opportunities for domestic industrial software, thereby promoting the high-quality development of China’s iron and steel industry.
