Industrial electric furnace is a kind of energy conversion equipment. The energy input to the industrial electric furnace is in the form of chemical energy, electric energy, heat energy of high-temperature flue gas, etc., and after the conversion of the industrial electric furnace, the steam, high-temperature water or organic heat carrier with certain heat energy is exported. The original meaning of the pot refers to the fire on the heat of the water container, furnace refers to the burning of fuel places, industrial electric furnace including pot and furnace two major.

Industrial electric furnace industry is an important branch of the whole industrial machinery industry and occupies an important position in China's machinery industry. But due to the low level of domestic transmission machinery manufacturing, the core of the industrial furnace equipment technology is largely in the hands of foreign enterprises, with the acceleration of foreign enterprises to enter the China market, new technology, new thinking constantly pounding industrial electric market in our country, draw lessons from foreign advanced equipment manufacturing technology alone, still can't catch up with foreign companies manufacture level.

At present, domestic manufacturers of electric furnace industry still attach great importance to "racing horses to encircle land" and "wolidou", which obviously have not established a strong brand awareness, and still remain in the development level of traditional industrial electric furnace equipment can not carry out product innovation work quickly. Foreign enterprises always rely on excellent product quality and strong brand awareness in the domestic market has a competitive advantage.

According to the "2014-2018 China oven, furnace and electric furnace manufacturing industry production and marketing demand and transformation and upgrading analysis report" data released by the foresight industry research institute shows: in 2012, the national oven, furnace and electric furnace manufacturing industry scale enterprises increased to 219, achieve industrial output value of 22.737 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 15.89%; The sales revenue reached 22.465 billion yuan, down 12.46% year on year. Realized sales profit of 2.667 billion yuan, down 23.70% year on year; The total profit reached 1.62 billion yuan, down 40.56 percent year-on-year.

Independent innovation, increase research and development. At the present stage, although the small and medium-sized enterprises of our country's industrial electric furnace also know the importance of innovation, but because of the limited technical ability, there is no confidence to engage in independent innovation. However, innovation is always the core of the soul of an enterprise. Once smes are flush with funds, they will not give up the road of independent innovation. The reason why China's industrial furnace enterprises appear in the price of a big fuss, the root cause is like Germany, Japan, such as foreign industrial furnace enterprises pay more attention to the quality of products rather than sold quantity.
