The steel industry is the “backbone” of China’s modern industry, and it is a key part of China’s goal to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Chinese steel enterprises represented by Hesteel Group are using the power of digitalization to temper “steel and iron bones” and embark on the road of green and intelligent development. Behind this, there is also the technology of the West family to help create hands in hand with the West family.

As early as 2016, Siemens established a strategic partnership with Hesteel. In 2019, the two sides reached a digital strategic cooperation. From the intelligent unmanned material farm in Tangsteel New District, to the MindSphere smart rolling mill project in Hengshui Thin plate, to the top-level planning and predictive maintenance project of key equipment in Shigang Smart Steel Mill, Siemens and Hesteel jointly set up one industry innovation benchmark after another.

Just this morning, Dr. Xiao Song, Chairman, President and CEO of Siemens China, and Yu Yong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Hesteel Group, had a face-to-face exchange in Shijiazhuang. The two sides have conducted in-depth communication on carbon reduction solutions, energy efficiency management and data-driven product structure upgrading, which will jointly provide new momentum for the transformation and development of the steel industry.

The management teams of Siemens China and Hesteel Group will cooperate and seek common development.

Yu Yong said: “Siemens is the world’s leading technology company. We cherish our profound friendship and have full confidence in our cooperation. Hesteel and Siemens share the same concept of customer service, and hope that the two sides can continuously open up new ways of cooperation in the fields of green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, expand new space for cooperation, enrich new connotation of cooperation, push the cooperation between the two sides to a new height, and contribute to the high-quality development of the steel industry.”

“We are proud to work with Hesteel to transform the world’s advanced digital technologies into real productivity.” Dr. Xiao Song said, “This year marks the 150th year of Siemens and China. Adhering to the concept of mutual benefit and win-win, we will continue to use digitalization and low-carbon as twin engines, and join hands with Hesteel to create and complement each other’s advantages, providing scientific and technological support for realizing the carbon neutral vision of the steel industry.”

After the meeting, Dr. Xiao Song expressed his confidence and expectations for the West family to Xiaobian. He said: “On the road to digital green transformation, no one can go it alone. We need to make bold breakthroughs and move forward, and work together with more like-minded partners like Hesteel to provide support for the sustainable and high-quality development of Chinese industry.”
