China's industrial software: Finding a path to leapfrog ahead between being "held at the neck" and "too expensive to use
The domesticization rate of industrial software in our country is less than 20%, and for some core categories, it’s below 5%. Manufacturing enterprises face challenges such as complex systems and talent shortages during their transformation. The solution is shifting from “adding functions” to “changing sectors”. Companies like Shenzhen Sensiuo choose to avoid the traditional CAD/CAE market and use industrial AI and multi-agent architectures to redefine human-machine interaction. By accumulating industry experience through the “creation atlas”, they achieve a full-link closed loop of design, simulation, and process. The platform serves as an “intelligent enhancement layer” embedded in key business processes. This approach aims to give domestic software a window of time to catch up with the underlying gaps and to overcome experience gaps by changing sectors.
