Machine Changing Garment Industry Enters Machine Age

　　 What is machine replacing artificial?

　　 Textile industry It is a labor-intensive industry. With the gradual disappearance of demographic dividend in China, transformation and upgrading are urgent. Mechanization, automation and intellectualization have become an effective way to transform traditional industries, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, reduce staff and increase efficiency and ease recruitment difficulties.

　　 The plan is effective and the industry responds positively.

Zhejiang province is the first province to implement the "machine substitution" plan. In early 2013, the government of Zhejiang launched the full implementation of "cage changing birds". Machine substitution The "four exchange" project of space conversion, electricity supplier changing city has opened up a new pattern of economic development. According to the Zhejiang Provincial Commission of information, the project has achieved great results over the past year.

First of all, the cost of employment and production and operation is reduced. According to the survey, 61.5% of enterprises have reduced the number of front-line employees by more than 10% after the replacement of machines, and 68.9% of the enterprises have reduced production costs by more than 5%. When other conditions remain unchanged, the reduction of enterprise cost by one percentage point implies an increase of 1 percentage points in corporate profits.

Secondly, it improves the efficiency of labor production. About 27.3% of the enterprises surveyed had increased their labour productivity by more than 30% after "machine substitution"; 16.6% of them had increased their labour productivity by 20% to 30%; and 29% of the enterprises. Labour productivity Improved 10%~20%.

Third, improve the quality of products. Because machine operation has the inaccuracy and accuracy of manual operation, the role of machine substitution in improving the quality and quality of enterprise products is also very obvious. The survey showed that nearly 98.3% of the enterprises changed their products, and the quality of products improved to varying degrees. Fourth, reduce energy consumption. In the survey enterprises, up to 86.3% of enterprises said that after the "machine substitution", the energy consumption decreased.

　　 Textile industry In this machine substitutions occupy an important position. According to the Keqiao Economic Information Bureau, 661 technical renovation projects completed in the 1~9 months of this year have invested 24 billion 63 million yuan. Among them, the investment in textile projects was 15 billion 342 million yuan, accounting for 63%.

Lanxi is a gathering area of weaving characteristic industries, and denim production is the first in China. Weaving The current situation of production and the timely start of "machine substitutions" in textile industry are mainly to introduce automatic equipment such as wear, reed, knot and so on, instead of manual labor, and encourage enterprises to purchase automatic equipment to be listed in "machine substitutions" enterprises. The government gives certain patches, mainly through policy guidance, encouraging enterprises to replace manual labor with highly automated equipment, so as to achieve the purpose of "machine substitution". There are hundreds of weaving enterprises in Lanxi, where more than 70 enterprises have been selected, including 10 demonstration enterprises and 60 enterprises. Machine substitution "These projects require all of the projects to start in the year. The rate of production is guaranteed to be 85%, and more than 90% of the year's investment plan has been completed.

From the perspective of the transformation of printing and dyeing industry, Shaoxing started the project of "machine substitution". They carried out automatic information transformation and "machine substitution" for the weak links of printing and dyeing industry informatization and energy management, and achieved fairly good results.

　　 Great room for implementation and resistance

　　 Spinning process The process is complex and changeable. Only from cotton to yarn, it has to go through many processes such as cleaning, combing, blending, coarse and fine. Continuous and intelligent become the continuous demand for the development of enterprises. At present, although some achievements have been made, textile enterprises, as traditional industries, still have much room for improvement in intellectualization.

Taking the automatic doffer as an example, the relevant data indicate that the enterprises that still use the artificial doffing method at present still account for more than 97% of the total textile enterprises in the country, while the enterprises using hand push (or electric) oblique pulling doffer are less than 1% of the national total, basically belonging to the edge of being eliminated. In Europe and the developed countries, the number of automatic doffing instead of artificial doffing can reach more than 85%. According to this trend, the demand for automatic doffer is expected to be "blowout" in the coming years.

Machine substitution has an incomparable advantage in replacing manual productivity improvement, but for the vast majority of people Textile enterprises Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, there are still many difficulties. High cost and difficult financing become the biggest stumbling block for changing machines.

According to a survey conducted by the Zhejiang Economic Commission, about 71.1% of enterprises believe that the primary problem facing the current "machine change" is the high cost. According to the "completed" Machine substitution "More than half of the enterprises surveyed invest more than 10 million yuan," he said. This is not a small sum, and in recent years, the rising cost of enterprise financing and the difficulty of financing make the enterprises prohibit the substitution of machines. Secondly, maintenance investment is also a big problem. Remove routine equipment maintenance costs, as well as maintenance personnel input. The general culture and technology level of textile enterprises is relatively low, and technical personnel are seriously lacking. With the introduction of automation equipment, the demand for all kinds of skilled personnel will increase dramatically. Textile enterprises need to train or introduce high-level technicians, which is no doubt a big burden. Moreover, the capital recovery cycle is longer. According to the survey, the proportion of enterprises that have completed the "machine replacement" transformation business over 4 years is 36.8%.

In view of this, Hu Xudong, Dean of the school of mechanical engineering of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, thinks that Textile enterprises It is not necessary to take steps in line with local conditions. "Machine substitutions" can be very small. Generally speaking, the whole production line transformation is relatively large and suitable for large enterprises to implement. However, small businesses can also achieve the purpose of machine substitution by means of automatic transformation of one unit of equipment. Weaker enterprises can pay close attention to some auxiliary work, such as knitting sewing, spinning and weaving plant's upper and lower cylinder, weighing, packing, transfer and other processes. Although these processes are not key jobs, they still use a large number of workers, and the process is relatively simple and easier to succeed. Secondly, some single spindle transmission equipment such as twisting, winding, and pouring cylinders, etc., use automation technology to design some self stopping devices. When broken ends or other faults, the single spindle can be automatically stopped, without affecting the whole machine production, which has little effect on productivity, so that the production of unmanned workshops can be realized, or only regular inspections and labor saving can be achieved.

　　 Challenges and opportunities, and equal emphasis on technology and services.

　　 Textile machinery enterprises Faced with the advent of machine change, there are many challenges in organic encounter. Hu Xudong said, at present, the textile machinery is in a relatively low state. Machine replacement may be an opportunity for some enterprises. By upgrading the level of automation and intellectualization of the equipment, it can solve the plight of recruitment difficulties in the textile industry, and it can go out in the current downturn. However, the upgrading of equipment digitalization and intellectualization is more difficult. It can not be completed by imitation or commissioning, unlike the past technological transformation. It needs more cooperation from universities and automation equipment research institutes to integrate the process from the process to the whole production process, so it is more challenging. In the face of such a situation, what preparations should be made for spinning machinery enterprises?

First, continuous innovation and implementation of differentiation strategy. Technological innovation is the core competitiveness of an enterprise, and constantly improving the differentiation of its products through technological innovation is the urgent need for the transformation and upgrading in depth. For example, recently, the robot suture system launched by Cixing has a very large working procedure for sweater industry, and it has a higher demand for workers' age, vision and physical strength. Cixing company first selected in this process to break through, can greatly reduce the number of workers, the application prospect is broad.

Second, enhance service awareness. The manufacturing industry is gradually developing in the direction of private customization. Even in the same industry, the situation of enterprises is different and needs are different. In this process, the textile machinery enterprises not only need to supply equipment, but also provide updated service mode, or borrow the accumulated experience in the past to become the best consultant for textile enterprises. For example, Jingwei shares will be promoted by factory professionals while launching complete sets of equipment. Textile enterprises The babysitter service mode instead of the maintenance worker is gradually recognized by customers. Or, the new requirements for front-line workers after the implementation of "machine substitution" for enterprises, help textile enterprises to train a number of operators and equipment maintenance personnel who are proficient in new technologies, new processes and new equipment.

At the same time, we must constantly improve the comprehensive quality of after-sales service personnel. The comprehensive quality of employees reflects the culture of an enterprise and represents the image of an enterprise. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out professional knowledge, standardized operation and communication for personnel of after-sales service departments.
