The selection and implementation process of industrial software involves multiple departments, multiple positions, business model remodeling, and many complicated work of business process sorting and data sorting, which is a complex system transformation project. Therefore, every step of industrial software selection is a crucial decision for enterprises, and choosing industrial software that suits their own needs is a necessary and frequent important task.

The core of the selection and implementation of industrial software is to build each core business information system step by step around the business needs of enterprises and based on the overall intelligent manufacturing framework of enterprises. Enterprises need rational selection, and in close cooperation with enterprises and manufacturers, to guide the pragmatic progress of the project with scientific methodology. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of “overall planning and step-by-step implementation” and strictly follow the requirements of information system project management to advance pragmatically.

FM221 Based on years of experience accumulation, this paper deeply summarizes the key elements and strategies of enterprises in selecting industrial software and implementing optimization programs. At the same time, I also realize that with the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing technology, many selection platforms and services have emerged on the market. By providing rich industrial software product information and professional customer service, these platforms provide enterprises with a more convenient and efficient way of selection. Therefore, we will also recommend high-quality industrial software selection platform for readers’ reference and application.

Multi-dimensional summary of industrial software product selection

Product selection needs to be comprehensively considered from multiple dimensions, including business adaptability, maturity and stability, late scalability, partners’ consulting implementation service capabilities, industry cases, etc. Based on many years of project experience in industrial software industry and the selection principles that enterprises should follow, the paper makes a summary and suggestions to help enterprises consider comprehensively from multiple dimensions.

FM221

1. Clear requirements: First, companies need to clearly define their needs, including the problem they want to solve, the process to improve, and the expected outcomes. This involves an in-depth analysis of existing workflows and the setting of future goals.
2. Industry research: Understanding industry standards and best practices can help companies identify which functions and capabilities are required, as well as identify success stories from other companies in the FM221 industry.
3. Functional evaluation: Compare the functions of different industrial software to ensure that the selected system can cover the core needs of the enterprise and provide the necessary support.
4. Scalability: Choose a system that can expand its capabilities accordingly as the business grows and changes to ensure a long-term return on investment.
5. Technical compatibility: Consider the compatibility of software with existing hardware and other systems to reduce integration costs and time.
6. User experience: Ensure that the user interface of the system is intuitive and easy to use, and employees can quickly get started, reducing training costs and time.
7. Budget planning: Make a reasonable budget plan according to the financial situation of the enterprise, and find cost-effective solutions.
8. Supplier inspection: Carefully evaluate the software supplier’s market position, customer evaluation, technical support and service record.
9. Implementation Strategy: Develop a detailed implementation strategy, including a timeline, allocation of responsibilities, and a risk management plan.
10. Continuous optimization: After implementation, periodically collect feedback and optimize the system to ensure that the software system always meets the changing needs of the enterprise.
