Inside the spacious and bright hall of the Shagang Financial Center, the staff focused on the screen, typing their fingers rapidly on the keyboard.

"The Business & Finance Integration has linked various kinds of business together," the relevant person in charge of the Finance Department of Shagang Iron and Steel commented. The old "Mr. Accountant" who was bound by data has become a "Think Tank" for enterprise operations.

The "Business & Finance Integration" system of Shagang has achieved digital upgrading of all business formats, including "production, supply, and sales", with whole integration, whole aggregation, and whole process.

"Shagang’s digital transformation is at the forefront of the industry in terms of its wide coverage and high degree of integration." "Shagang’s experience provides a template and path for the entire industry to learn from." At the Digital Transformation Forum of the Iron and Steel Industry, advanced experiences such as Business & Finance Integration of Shagang have won widespread praise from attending experts and scholars.

The "Business & Finance Integration" is a typical representative of Shagang’s striving towards new quality productive forces. In recent years, Shagang has firmly grasped the primary task of high-quality development, continuously integrated advanced steel manufacturing technology with the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other new generation digital technologies, and continued to promote the whole process digital intelligence drive.

"Introduce 1+N clouds" to make steel production "fly on the cloud". Shagang has used cloud native, big data and other advanced technologies to build a three-tier digital management and control system and an advanced industrial Internet technology platform, creating a new type of "digital" productivity.

The digital intelligence not only boosts Shagang's business, but also brings convenience to upstream and downstream customer service. Shagang's one-stop steel scrap service system has changed from "on-site personnel guidance" to "handheld data guidance", truly realized "more information processing and more convenience for customers".

At the same time, based on deep learning technology, automatic identification technology and scrap remote monitoring technology, the system can also achieve scrap real-time automatic grading and self-growth, and its successful application experience was awarded the Intelligent Manufacturing Solution and Typical Scenario Application Case of Digital Transformation in Iron and Steel Industry in 2023.

Shagang's first international whole-process digital practice research and development simulation platform has shortened the product development cycle by more than 30%, completely subverted the traditional model, and seized the initiative for enterprise in the market; as the Typical Case of Industrial and Information Quality Improvement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Shagang's first domestic full-process intelligent quality prevention and control system has changed the "post-inspection" to "beforehand + online" management, and comprehensively enhanced the level of quality control.

Data-driven and New quality force develops in parallel. Whether it is production, operation, management, or energy, safety and environmental protection, Shagang is grasping the opportunities of a new round of technological and industrial revolution in all aspects, with an effective "digital intelligence" practice, building the foundation of new quality productive forces step by step, promoting high quality development in intelligence movement。
