Shao Jun: Winning with "Wisdom" Is Becoming a Sharp Weapon to Change the Fate of the Industry

On November 29, the Fifth China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum, sponsored by China Cement Network, was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Shao Jun, chairman of

China Cement Network, delivered a welcome speech. He said that the demand for cement is still declining this year, and the industry situation is becoming more and more serious. The key to meet the current challenges is to practice internal skills and enhance their comprehensive competitiveness. Driven by the new round of industrial transformation, the competition among enterprises is no longer a game of "force", and winning by "wisdom" is becoming a sharp weapon to change the fate of the industry.

He pointed out that leading cement enterprises such as China Building Materials, Conch Cement , Huarun Cement, Huaxin Cement and Red Lion Cement have taken the lead in exploring intelligent transformation. Intelligent logistics, unmanned driving, digital mine, AI kiln grinding experts, robots.. are gradually popularized in cement plants, and have achieved good results. "Data-driven decision-making intelligence leads the future", intellectualization is the subject of the times that we should face directly at present.

The following is the full text of the speech:

Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,

good morning!

It is a great pleasure to gather with you in Hangzhou to offer suggestions for the intelligent development of the cement industry. Here, I would like to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all of you on behalf of the organizer, China Cement Network! From January to October

this year, the national cement output was 1.69 billion tons, a decrease of 67.56 million tons compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 4.32%, during which the cement price index dropped by 23%. In the first three quarters, the profit of the cement industry was only 20 billion yuan, down 60% from the same period last year. The performance of cement listed companies that have published quarterly reports has generally declined sharply or even lost money.

This year, the demand for cement is still declining, and the industry situation is becoming more and more severe. The key to meet the current challenges is to practice internal skills and enhance their comprehensive competitiveness. Driven by the new round of industrial transformation, the competition among enterprises is no longer a game of "force", and winning by "wisdom" is becoming a sharp weapon to change the fate of the industry.

At present, China Building Materials, Conch Cement, China Resources Cement, Huaxin Cement, Red Lion Cement and other leading cement enterprises have taken the lead in exploring intelligent transformation. Intelligent logistics, driverless, digital mine, AI kiln grinding experts, robots and so on have been gradually popularized in cement plants, and good results have been achieved.

China Cement Network has been deeply engaged in the cement building materials industry for more than 20 years, and has carried out the research and layout of digitalization and intellectualization of the cement industry in a forward-looking manner, and has achieved fruitful results. China Cement Network relies on huge data accumulation to build a big data platform for building materials, constantly improve the industrial big data system with big data, market information, cement index and concrete index as the core, and enable industrial transformation with "industrial brain + digital factory". The theme of this

Intelligent Summit Forum is "Data-driven Decision-making Intelligence Leads the Future", which is the subject of the times we are facing directly.

"Mochow has no bosom friend on the road ahead, and the world is full of cement." It is believed that this conference will provide valuable wisdom and experience for the industry. Experts and guests can speak freely and brainstorm freely, so that they can gain momentum for development and find a way to advance.

Finally, I wish this meeting a complete success, and I wish all colleagues in the cement industry good health and happy work!

Thank you all!
