At present, the problem of "small, multiple, and scattered" refractory enterprises in Henan Province still exists, the lack of professional cooperation and division of labor, the technological innovation ability of some enterprises is not strong enough, the level of equipment research and development is not high enough, and the key common technologies are still missing; Innovation and development have not formed an overall collaborative platform, and have not yet possessed centralized and efficient R&D comprehensive capabilities and strong strength, and there are still outstanding common problems.
With the policy support of governments at all levels for the vigorous development of the refractory industry, the relevant departments have moved the refractory industry out of the "two high" project management directory of Henan Province since 2023 after in-depth research and analysis. In this context, refractory enterprises in Henan Province should still carry out rational thinking, in-depth research on the development of industry and product differentiation, must not blindly expand the production capacity of refractory industry, and strictly prevent disorderly expansion and vicious competition development, the suggestions are as follows: First, under the guidance of government departments at all levels, joint industry associations and other organizations vigorously publicize and guide the province's refractory enterprises to carry out comprehensive and long-term planning and consideration according to the characteristics of their own processes, and continue to improve the level of equipment intelligence. Second, it is necessary to actively cultivate application-oriented talents, especially to vigorously cultivate mature talents who are specialized in the direction of intelligent production, as well as professionals in related design, production and manufacturing. Third, we should continue to increase product research and development efforts, and actively participate in and condense the common key technology projects in the industry. Fourth, we should vigorously guide enterprises to continuously benchmark and raise the "new coordinates" of development, further accelerate the iterative upgrading of process equipment, efficiently use relevant resources, actively support the formulation of green production standard systems involving high-temperature materials, deeply explore ways to reduce energy consumption in the whole production process, minimize carbon emission intensity, and effectively promote the sustainable and healthy development of green production.
