On May 11th, the 2018 Textile and Apparel Smart Manufacturing Solution Promotion and Textile Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Supplier Matchmaking Meeting was held in Beijing.

Gao Yong, Party Secretary of China National Textile and Apparel Council, Wang Ruihua, Deputy Director of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Cao Xuejun, Deputy Director of the Consumer Products Industry Department, Wang Shutian, Chairman of the China Textile Machinery Association, Zhu Xiangmin, Chief Engineer, Lu Honggang, Li Yi, Xu Lin, etc. Meeting. More than 60 heads of textile equipment companies, representatives of textile and garment companies, smart manufacturing system integrators, hardware and software suppliers, and other representatives of textile intelligence manufacturing units attended the meeting.

Consolidate the foundation to promote the intelligent transformation of the textile industry

Gao Yong, party secretary of the China Textile Industry Federation, pointed out in his speech that China’s economy is currently shifting from high-speed development to high-quality development, while high quality development and smart manufacturing are the basis. According to the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” of the textile industry, the textile industry must establish six smart demonstration production lines for spinning, chemical filament, knitting, printing, non-woven fabrics, and apparel, and a woven intelligent production workshop. At present, the intelligent manufacturing line for spinning and chemical fiber filaments is progressing rapidly. In the last two years, spinning production can be realized at night and the unmanned spinning process can be realized. However, overall, the textile process has only achieved automation, numerical control, and informationization. It is still far from the requirement of true intelligence. It still needs to make up classes in the industries 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0, and there is still a distance from the industry 4.0 requirements. In this regard, there should be sober understanding. Due to the continuous increase in labor costs and difficulties in recruiting companies, textile companies are facing tremendous pressure for transformation and upgrading, which also forces companies to carry out automation and numerical control transformation. The textile industry chain is long, and the progress of smart manufacturing in all aspects of production is not the same. Gao Yong believes that in addition to spinning and chemical fiber smart production, the biggest need for the current production process is clothing. The sewing process has achieved rigging and has not yet been automated. It takes a long time to realize unattended operation. Gao Yong proposed that we must promote the intelligent manufacture of textile and apparel. On the one hand, we must establish and improve the smart manufacturing demonstration production line. On the other hand, we must speed up the promotion in the industry and the relevant supply chain must be continuously improved. The convening of the conference is to centralize and organize the suppliers of intelligent manufacturing system solutions, to quickly establish and popularize the textile and apparel intelligent manufacturing demonstration lines, and to promote the promotion of smart textile manufacturing systems.

Closely Connect with Supplier Alliance to Provide System Solutions

In order to improve the integration of public R&D, industrial application and marketing of intelligent manufacturing systems in the textile industry, the integrated public service platform will further stimulate the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment in the textile industry and promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry to a new generation of intelligent manufacturing. Solutions for intelligent manufacturing systems in the textile industry The Alliance of Suppliers and the China Federation of Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Providers Alliance for Textile Industry was established in December last year.

Zhu Xianmin, head of the division of the textile industry division of the China Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Provider Alliance, introduced the current operation of the alliance. He said that under the support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, China's textile and clothing industry has achieved certain results in smart manufacturing, and has the conditions for the establishment of alliances. For example, in the construction of a digital demonstration plant for the automatic roll-down and packaging warehousing of polyester filament yarn, cotton spinning, dyed yarn dyeing, and double needle bed warp knitting machines, the customization of garment production, and the customization and production integration of knitted fabrics, etc. , The core intelligent manufacturing equipment suppliers, system integrators, software developers and users form their own integrated research, production, and research institutes. The Alliance of Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Providers in the Textile Industry and the Alliance of China's Intelligent Manufacturing System Solution Providers Alliance of the Textile Industry by China Textile Machinery Association, Beijing Institute of Mechanical Industry Automation, Shenyang Xinsong Robot Automation Co., Ltd., and Machinery Industry Sixth Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., Jingwei Textile Machinery Co., Ltd., and Zhengzhou Textile Machinery Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. consist of more than 30 units. The chairman unit is the China Textile Machinery Association. The establishment of the alliance provides strong support for the intelligent manufacturing of the textile industry at the supply end and the demand end.
