"The same cost structure, the price of foreign products is more than three times higher than that of China, which makes me very touched, and instantly stimulates my inner sense of mission." A period of overseas life experience in 2013 made Yang Bo feel the huge gap between China's manufacturing industry and developed countries, and also germinated the idea of entrepreneurship.

So in 2014, he resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown of Sichuan, and established Chengdu Primus Yunchuang Technology Co., Ltd., which not only provided digital solutions for many large manufacturing enterprises, but also participated in the formulation of a number of industry standards.

"When I first did this, I didn't know exactly when there would be a good window of time, but it must have been the right thing to do." It is with this belief that he has come to the present.

"Huawei- entrepreneur" entrepreneurs

Engaged in industrial digital services

Yang Bo joined Huawei in 2013 and was stationed in Europe to participate in the Hannover Messe in Germany. At this international industrial event, which is called "the world's largest international industrial event", Germany officially proposed the Industry 4.0 strategy, aiming to promote digital and intelligent manufacturing, which aroused his great interest.

After that, Yang Bo has visited and investigated advanced industrial manufacturing enterprises in Germany, Austria, Italy and other European and American regions, and has a deeper understanding of the digitization and intelligence of advanced manufacturing.

By chance, Yang Bo learned that h13, a die steel product produced by the German company Glitz, was priced at about 75,000 yuan in China, while the price of the same type of product produced by domestic manufacturers was only 20,000 yuan. The same cost structure, the price of foreign products is 3 times higher than that of china, which makes him very surprised and deeply touched.

Yang Bo introduced that special steel has become the core element supporting the development of high-end manufacturing industry with its superior performance over general steel. The core reason why there is such a big gap between domestic and foreign products is that foreign manufacturing enterprises have solved problems such as cost control and efficiency matching through digital technology earlier, the industrial control system is more perfect, and the product quality stability is higher.

Yang Bo believes that this will be a market with broad prospects, and it is closely related to national development and industrial revitalization. He hopes that by promoting the digitalization process of enterprises, the evolution of productive forces will be realized, and China will contribute to China's transformation from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.

The threshold for industrial digitalization is high

But it is a "survival project" of the enterprise.

"In the first three years of our business, we were understanding the entire industrial system, understanding the pain points and actual needs of our customers." Yang Bo introduced that compared with the digital transformation of other industries, industrial digitalization has extremely high barriers, and it needs to be deeply integrated with industry proprietary technology and industrial knowledge.

On the one hand, the metallurgical industry itself is an interdisciplinary discipline that integrates mechanics, chemistry, heat, and materials science, which requires a relatively comprehensive accumulation of knowledge; from the perspective of smelting alone, there may be hundreds of processes that split it; on the other hand, practitioners also need to have a certain understanding of the real smelting production scenarios.

Yang Bo mentioned that at present, there is an extreme shortage of talents in the intersection of domestic industrial knowledge and digitalization, which is also a bottleneck encountered in the process of enterprise development.

In addition, the biggest problem lies in the breakthrough of traditional ideas. In the process of market expansion, Yang Bo felt that many manufacturing enterprise managers only regard digital transformation as a benefit project, "What they ask the most is whether the cost can be saved a little, and whether they can use less manpower." ”

But in his view, industrial digitalization is not the icing on the cake, but the "survival project" that enterprises must complete, if they do not take action now, in the near future, the competitiveness of enterprises will gradually decline, and eventually be eliminated by the market.

The main business is four major businesses

In the future, it will be extended to more industrial fields

Looking back on the 7 years of entrepreneurs, Yang Bo has experienced the huge pressure of not being understood by the team and leaving the founding partners, and has also experienced the dilemma of not being able to pay salaries and having to mortgage his own property. How did you end up carrying it?

"What I ask of myself is to stick to the right thing, not to do the simple thing." Yang Bo firmly believes that entrepreneurship requires a sense of mission, and it is precisely because of this sense of mission that he has overcome extremely difficult moments and gradually entered a better situation.

At present, Primus Yunchuang's business mainly focuses on four sectors, digital process quality control system, focusing on solving customer quality stability problems; Primus Dynasky Industrial Data Middle Platform, which mainly solves data integration, data governance and data quality problems in the process production process; at the same time, the team has also developed various industrial applications, the core of which is to improve the production capacity and profits of industrial enterprises; in addition, there is also a comprehensive operating platform for enterprises, focusing on solving problems encountered in management.

"Through a series of digital systems, we are currently able to help our customers improve product quality stability by 20%-30% and reduce direct costs per ton by up to 25%." Yang Bo said that the company's future plan is to continue to deepen the metallurgical industry while gradually expanding its business scope to the military, chemical, cement, power and other industries to help more enterprises digitally empower.
