“Overcapacity in the iron and steel industry requires structural adjustment and elimination of outdated production capacity. Low-grade ore-based energy structures lead to huge pressure on the environment and require green, low-carbon, and cyclical development; homogenization and low-cost competition cannot be met. The individualized and diversified needs of customers require the development of smart manufacturing to meet the diverse customization needs of customers.” On May 18th, at the “High Quality Development·Steel Powerful Country” JIT+C2M Summit Forum, Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Former vice president and director of the China Metal Society Gan Yong expressed the above viewpoint and explained the direction of smart manufacturing and green development in China's steel industry.
