Baosight Software (Baosight; ) is a Chinese software company that develops automation and software tools for various industries. It is a subsidiary of Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
Background
The origins of the company can be traced to the automation department of Baowu. It developed a very thorough understanding of steelmaking from its years of experience which helped the company become orientated towards on-site industrial control, manufacturing process management and business management.[2]
On 25 September 1993, the department was restructured into a separate joint-stock company known as Shanghai Steel Tube. On 11 March 1994, it was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.[1]
In 2000 Baowu acquired a controlling stake of Shanghai Steel Tube. At that time Shanghai Steel Tube was on the brink of delisting from the exchange due to two consecutive years of losses, where "ST" prefix was added to its stock name.
