Equipment Should Be Placed First In The Operation Of Enterprises.

Armed with high-tech automation equipment clothing The industry must be able to revolutionize production efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection, brand building and technological progress.

Faced with fierce market competition and rising labor costs, how to reduce manpower and improve automatic production efficiency has become a top priority for clothing and shoemaking enterprises. The demand for advanced production equipment such as high technology, automation, environmental protection and energy saving has increased greatly.

In fact, large enterprises upgrade their equipment early, welfare is good, and workers gradually concentrate on these advantageous enterprises. The so-called shortage of workers is actually a shortage of jobs for SMEs. {page_break}

Automation equipment alleviating "labor shortage"

"Originally, under the pressure of funds, I have not put on the agenda of introducing new equipment. But from the point of view of the current employment of workers, in order to fill the shortage of workers, we must change some of the machines into Mechatronics this year. equipment Other money can save, and this money can no longer be saved. " 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 a powerful booster for the upgrading of production equipment in garment enterprises at present, although automated production equipment is not something new for clothing producers.

In 2010, Ningbo Noble Garments Co., Ltd. purchased 34 automatic computerized flat knitting machines at a time, with a total investment of more than about 10000000 yuan.

"This is the biggest one-time expenditure of the company last year." Zhu Xudong, assistant general manager of the company, said in an interview with reporters recently. It is reported that the company is not the first time to purchase automatic computerized flat knitting machine. So far, the company has equipped 50 automatic stall computer flat knitting machines and 12 domestic made cistar automatic flat knitting machines.

Nevertheless, Zhu Xudong said: "this year, we will continue to invest in the purchase of the German STOL automatic flat knitting machine and other imported production equipment, in order to further enhance the competitiveness of enterprises."

Previously, a lot of small and medium wool textile enterprises in Dalang town used the workshop production of hand crank and automatic belt conveyor. The former needs one worker per unit, and the latter needs one worker for every two units. Now the computerized horizontal loom, a worker can see 6-8 at the same time, whose cost and production advantage are better or worse.

Not only small and medium-sized private knitted garment enterprises are keen on purchasing automation. Mechanics This is especially true for large enterprises that have won large scale production. According to Ding Kaizheng, deputy general manager of YOUNGOR yarn dyed Technology Co., Ltd., as early as 2008, YOUNGOR has gradually purchased 120 automatic computerized flat knitting machines of all kinds.

At present, Ding Kai Zheng is busy with other major events concerning automation upgrading. One of the major events is that the company decided to purchase a modern "automatic knitting hanging system" in the garment production workshop.

"At least about 10000000 yuan will be spent on the system," he said. But when installed, the efficiency of the garments will be increased by 25%. This also means that the pressure of employment in this area will be greatly reduced. Ding Kaizheng said.

At present, domestic large-scale garment processing plants generally use automatic equipment such as automatic cutting machine, automatic bag opening machine, automatic edge binding machine, etc., and semi automatic production has been realized. In the YOUNGOR workshop, we can see the most advanced clothing production technology and equipment and production lines in the world today. Xu Lan, Germany's technical support for Shanghai representative office, believes that China's garment design and production has entered the stage of digital competition.

The application of automation equipment has eased the "shortage of migrant workers". However, automated equipment helps enterprises not only solve the problem of employment.

Improving core competitiveness of enterprises

"The clothing automation tailoring system introduced by the company, a production line operator can save 1/3, which not only solves the problem of labor difficulty, but can save half of the labor wages in one year. At the same time, automated production has also improved the accuracy of products and improved the competitiveness of enterprises. Wu Zongjun, chairman of Yiwu Lian FA knitwear company, counted the accounts for reporters.

In 2011, uni introduced the first class computer controlled dyeing finishing and cutting equipment at home and abroad.

And YOUNGOR, Shenzhou and other high-end clothing enterprises compete for the automatic tire machine to invest in the first line production. The output per person per day is 5 times that of the traditional way of operation, and one machine can replace 4 machines and 4 people. Electricity saving is only one item. A sewing machine consumes 5 kilowatt hours of electricity per day. According to the standard working day of 250 days per year, it can save 5000 kilowatt hours a year.

Automation equipment has become an enterprise to reduce costs and enhance product Powerful means of quality and enterprise competitiveness.

"Mechatronics equipment not only reduces the number of workers, but also makes the quality of clothes more obvious because of the uniform size and uniform standards, and the details are closer to perfection." Fu Yanying told reporters.

Chen Yaohua, President of the Dongguan Textile Industry Association, also said that products that could not be done by hand or need high cost could be easily achieved by using automation equipment, which improved the quality and added value of the products.

"Very good, the effect is much better than we imagined. It never occurred to me that this labor-intensive industry could even have a computer controlled rhythm mode." Mr. Zou, senior manager of garment management at Tai Fu, said that after the purchase of automated sewing equipment, the efficiency of the factory has nearly doubled.

Ah Xiu is an ordinary employee of Tai Fu who has worked for three years in the workshop. She told reporters that she did not want to work too long in the factory, ready to see the world and go back to Jiangxi to marry and have children.

"The boss bought automated production equipment and solved many odd jobs for the workers. Now, what we need to do is concentrate on the operation of machines, materials, signature, fill in numbers, count the pieces, turn around and pack, unpack, and so on. All of the chores are saved. In addition to going to the bathroom, our job is to operate machines exclusively. " Ah Xiu said, now it is easy to work, not so tired before.

In fact, in Tai Fu, intelligent equipment has only replaced some workers in the production workshop. In comparison, the workers who work in intelligent workshop are 20% lower than the traditional workshops, but the total monthly salary is 10% more than that of the other. Garment workers enjoy the benefits of intelligent management.

"Now it seems that two years will be enough to recoup the cost of purchasing equipment, and the workers will have more profits, so that every aspect will be beneficial." Zou Xiansheng said.

Understanding consumer needs

The pace of life now makes consumers spend less time visiting clothing stores on average. When a customer walks into a 150 square meter or larger clothing store, he wants to find the best match that he likes and suits himself in a very short time, which is really not easy to do.

In July 13th, Hangzhou Sen Mobile Digital Technology Co., Ltd. launched the "3D interactive virtual fitting room". As long as consumers stand on a large screen, they can wear the virtual 3D version of their clothing and body naturally on their own body, and do not need to move forward or touch the screen. They can quickly and frequently change their clothes, and simply make the gesture of raising their hands. They can change the clothes according to the virtual button of the "virtual fitting room", and put the like clothes into the "virtual shopping cart", then pay the bill to complete the whole transaction process.

Through personalized and intelligent interactive experience, enterprise The clothing and collocation methods of the whole store can be presented to consumers more sensitively and artistically.

At the same time, the potential consumption of consumers can be realized through matching shopping guide, which will significantly increase the associated consumption, increase the average consumption of individual consumers and the turnover of physical stores.

Not only that, the smart fitting mirror can help brand retailers get first-hand market information such as customer profile data and personal preferences in time, so as to provide data support for better customer service in the future.

At present, some fashionable shopping websites have also used 3D virtual fitting software in shopping mall. Optimists think that this solves the problem that online shopping can not be tried on clothes, and it is the super convenience brought by technology to life.

In response, Mo Daiqing, an analyst at the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, said that "3D interactive virtual fitting room", by embedding "technology elements", helps clothing brands and retailers firmly lock in the female market, just as Apple releases iPhone and iPad series of technology products, so that users can have a sense of high fashion and entertainment high-tech experience, and easy to create "follow the wind" state, thereby promoting users' brand buying and selling from "information", and first upgrading to "trust", and finally hope to become "faith".

At present, the upsurge of equipment upgrading in garment enterprises is rising in the whole country.

Jack, general manager of the new sewing machine Co., Ltd., Guo Weixing, said that China's garment industry, armed with high-tech automation equipment, will revolutionize production efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection, brand building and technological progress.
