Footwear Industry Enters The New Era Of "Robot" Production

"Robot shoe making is no longer a dream!"

　　該企業負責人表示，我市紡織鞋服行業的質量及生產環節正在加速提高，引進“機器人”式的全自動化生產線將提供技術保障。在用工成本走高的大背景下，泉州多個行業正逐步轉變增長方式，以更新設備提高生產效率，實現從勞動密集型向技術密集型轉變。

Reporters learned that, due to the high cost of labor, recently, many enterprises in our city began to dock with foreign high-end machinery manufacturers, and imported automated machinery in Europe and the United States.

Data show that 27 textile shoes and garment enterprises in Quanzhou Province, which are led by the enterprises of the Republic of China, have purchased more than 3000 advanced machines such as textiles, footwear and other advanced machinery in Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries, amounting to 60 million US dollars.

In the weaving industry, many have built up tens of millions of yuan to build automatic production lines.

"One weaving company official said that under the condition of tight employment, the benefits of automatic production are immeasurable.

By introducing the new concept of automation and applying the high-precision industrial robot, the automatic operation of a series of processes such as glue spraying, spray glue and pressing is realized in the shoemaking process.

Many people in the industry predict that automation will become a highlight of the footwear industry in the next few years.

Of course, to realize the fully automated production line and the establishment of a robot workstation, we need not only introduce a large number of foreign technologies, but also independently develop and update local production equipment.

Reporters learned that at present, the plumbing industry in our city is speeding up R & D automation production equipment and robots.
