Fashion Enterprises Refract Sewing Machine Trend

Through the analysis and comparison between two rounds of domestic sewing equipment and imported equipment, we can see the direction and space for improvement of the domestic sewing machine. As the end of the series of reports on the sewing machine investigation of garment enterprises, we have focused on the equipment replacement of domestic garment enterprises, so as to understand the latest needs of the garment enterprises and explore the future development direction of the sewing machine industry.

Mechatronics equipment It's the mainstream.

"After the Spring Festival this year, the problem of recruitment is too prominent. Originally, under the pressure of funds, I have not put on the agenda of introducing new equipment. But from the current situation of workers' attendance, in order to fill the shortage of workers, we must replace some of the machines with Mechatronics equipment this year. Other money can be saved. This money can no longer be saved." At the beginning of the interview, Fu Yanying, general manager of Tianjin Sheng Hong Garments Co., Ltd. announced her latest decision to reporters.

It is not hard to see that the grim situation of "labor shortage" has become the present situation. Clothing enterprise The upgrading of production equipment has strong propelled agents, although Mechatronics sewing equipment is not something new for clothing producers.

The so-called Mechatronics sewing machine, in short, is the sewing machine's spear cloth, thread picking, hook line, feeding and other executive components still use the original mechanical structure, while the control is electronic or microcomputer system. The general distinction is that the control system which contains programming and CPU processor is called microcomputer control or computer control system. No programming or CPU processor is called electronic control system. The electronic control system technology of these two is relatively simple.

The image is that electronic or computer control is used to change part of the mechanical labor into automatic functions, such as automatic stop position, automatic track, automatic reinforcement, automatic color changing line and so on. This will liberate a large number of labor force from the production line. For example, the relevant departments have conducted a statistics on the usage of a tracking automatic bag opening machine in the garment processing factory, and got the following set of efficiency and manpower saving comparison: in the process of making the jacket pocket, if 8 people are required according to the traditional process, only 1 workers can be saved after using the automatic bag machine, saving 7 workers.

Fu Yanying also mentioned in his interview: "mechatronics". equipment Not only the number of workers has been reduced, but also the quality of clothes has improved significantly because of the uniform size and uniform standards.

Although the mechanical and electrical integration equipment has many advantages, but in the survey, the reporter realized that the domestic small and medium-sized clothing enterprises still use the traditional industrial sewing machine as the main body, except large scale enterprises to achieve a large proportion of equipment automation, such as Beijing Bao Lian senior garment manufacturing limited company production manager Weng Li Guo told reporters that the equipment of their factory has 90% of the mechanical and electrical integration. Most of the garment enterprises are also in the process of upgrading some of the equipment. Fu Yanying said, "even if we buy new machines, we will gradually replace them. It may take a dozen production units of a production team as units." Tangshan Xinli garment factory Meng factory director has counted an account: "according to a sewing machine 4000 yuan, 30 units need more than ten million yuan, not a small number. In the current situation, we are willing to spend more money a month to invite a few workers."

Obviously, according to the size of each garment enterprise, the degree of automation achieved is different. But in any case, the mechanical and electrical integration of equipment is bound to be the mainstream of sewing equipment development. With the increasing shortage of labor force, it is believed that the pace of equipment replacement will accelerate.

Network intelligence is not far away.

The popularity of the Internet has changed the lives of every one of us. It is no exaggeration to say that the network platform is gradually infiltrating into all walks of life, and clothing production is no exception.

After the mechanical and electrical integration of sewing machines, there is a computer control unit, which lays the foundation for the realization of network intelligence. Some sewing machine manufacturers have developed sewing equipment that can be compatible with USB interface and can accept smart card, memory stick and SD card data. However, due to the different control circuits of different models, it will take some time to unify the pattern input format.

The intelligent control of garment production is not uncommon in foreign countries, and the speed of development is also very fast. In this thorough investigation, many domestic enterprises have expressed some knowledge of intelligent sewing machines. Some of the large clothing brands in China have begun to adopt intelligent systems. But for most small and medium enterprises, it is not realistic to achieve intelligent control in the near future due to the size of their own businesses.

The superiority of network intelligence is self-evident. It can change the traditional decentralized production mode to intensive production mode, and coincide with the general direction of China's economic transformation. The network intelligent sewing mode can make full use of the network platform to make full use of and configure sewing resources. This production mode has changed the production mode of a single machine. If a factory wants to have a pattern on its clothes, it can put all kinds of needle cars on the network, just send the pattern to the needle cart, and can produce the patterns needed at any time. If the customers need, they can even send long distance patterns.

The head of a clothing company in Beijing said in an interview: "in terms of intelligent machines, what we understand is the production of woollen sweater equipment. It can really realize the whole process of computer control, first input relevant patterns, then operate on the same computer, and finally only need to artificially finish the finished products ironing. However, the equipment is still produced in Japan and Germany, and it seems that it has not seen domestic production yet. "

Energy conservation and environmental protection guide new fashion {page_break}

With the continuous improvement of human industrialization, the living environment we are facing is also deteriorating. Therefore, environmental protection and low carbon has become a topic of common concern worldwide. For example, the Cologne international garment production technology and textile processing exposition, held in Cologne, Germany, is the theme of "IMB2009" and "sustainable development". In the sewing equipment industry, products are required to save energy, save resources, reflect low noise and low vibration, meet the requirements of human environmental transformation and have friendly user interfaces, and have become the trend of the times.

Judging from the development of the apparel industry itself, the profit margins of the current rising prices of raw materials and the rising cost of electricity have made clothing enterprises take the initiative to face the problem of how to save energy. Therefore, in the interview, many service enterprises also expressed the hope that more energy saving and environmental protection equipment will be put into the market.

Some enterprises have mentioned the problem of oil leakage that has been bothering the garment enterprises. In the traditional sense, sewing machines need to be refueling to run at high speed so as to ensure that they do not damage the machine while high-speed friction. In the process, oil leakage may occur. Once the oil leakage occurs, the clothing will be stuck with oil stains in the sewing process. At present, foreign top sewing equipment manufacturers have achieved breakthroughs in this regard, and some of the machines they produce have reached the standard of no leakage. Domestic enterprises are lagging behind in environmental indicators such as oil leakage, but the catching up trend is obvious.

For example, the national sewing machine quality supervision and inspection center has taken relevant measures to carry out the quality inspection of energy saving and environmental protection, and has increased the supervision and promotion of domestic sewing equipment in energy saving and environmental protection. At the enterprise level, the domestic sewing machine brand has made great breakthroughs in energy saving and environmental protection after its recent development. For example, the standard brand industrial sewing machine has successfully obtained the certification of China's energy saving and environmental protection products, and Toyama's machinery products have passed the energy conservation and environmental protection quality inspection and so on.
