Industrial software is the "soul" of modern industry, the underlying logic for the digital and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing, and the invisible "national treasure" that supports the development and innovation of modern industrial systems. With the continuous development of industrial technology, the demand for continuous iteration and updating of industrial software has become increasingly urgent. However, the industrial software field in China has long been plagued by practical difficulties such as insufficient accumulation of industrial knowledge, relatively backward technology, lack of R&D talents, and poor industrial ecology. To this end, our magazine has planned and organized a column on "Industrial Software and the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing", with renowned editors Ning Zhenbo and Professor Ma Dianfu serving as executive editors. The presented research results include theoretical and methodological discussions, technical and industrial exchanges, as well as industry applications and professional construction explorations, which are of great inspiration and reference significance.
