In the future, the collection, organization, analysis, and feedback of big data in the steel industry will play a pivotal role in its development. Beyond the manufacturing and production stages, information sharing will extend to research and development, services, procurement, sales, and other functional areas, significantly enhancing resource allocation efficiency. Overall, the integration of the steel industry with the internet and big data reflects both China’s proactive commitment to advancing the “Made in China 2025” national strategy and accelerating the construction of smart factories, as well as an objective necessity for optimizing and upgrading industrial structures and improving the business environment. It is also an essential step in China’s journey toward becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse.
