Textile Future In Robot Era

although Robot It has been developing for decades, but it does not prevent it from becoming a hot economic issue this year. This year, the two academicians' conference put forward that the robot industry will be a breakthrough point and an important growth point of the "third industrial revolution". In addition, in 2013, China became the largest robot consumption market for the first time. The two pieces of information superimposed, so that the industry regarded 2014 as "the first year of Chinese robot". Throughout the country, especially in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta cities, which are well-developed in manufacturing industry, governments everywhere are encouraging manufacturers to use robots more frequently in order to replace higher paid labor. In the first half of this year, the cost of technological transformation investment and equipment and equipment purchased by Zhejiang province increased by 11.8% and 10.6% over the first half of the year, accounting for 65.2% and 42% of the proportion of industrial investment respectively. "Machine substitution" has brought a 14.5% increase in Zhejiang's per capita labor remuneration. Guangzhou, Guangdong Province recently made plans to make industrial robots widely used in over 80% manufacturing enterprises in the city within a few years.

In the boom of machine substitution, labor intensive The textile enterprises have become the main force of technological transformation of machines. It is reported that this year 1~9 months, in textile enterprises gathered in Zhejiang province Shaoxing Keqiao District 661 technical transformation projects completed investment of 24 billion 63 million yuan. Among them, the investment in textile projects was 15 billion 342 million yuan, accounting for 63%. According to statistics from relevant departments, in the first three quarters, Keqiao textile enterprises invested 12 billion 200 million yuan in technical equipment upgrading and upgrading at least.

This year, Lanxi, Zhejiang province listed the technical transformation projects of "machine substitution" in 70 textile enterprises as demonstration pilot projects, which required all of them to start in the year. The commissioning rate was 85%, and the number of investment plans completed by that year was more than 90%. After the implementation of these projects, not only can more than 1.1 workers be reduced, but the annual cost savings will be 430 million yuan, and they can further improve product quality and enterprise efficiency.

In Fujian Shishi, the application of industrial robots has become an important highlight in the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and its effect is more than expected. Shishi garment industry started the application of industrial robots this year. It is understood that before the work of garment production, 2~3 workers are required to spread cloth. First, cloth is stacked into 50~200 layers. Each worker is forced to use his hands or sticks to smooth it. The use of robots instead of artificial cloth not only greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also improves the production efficiency. According to statistics, the demand for cloth robots in Shishi casual pants industry is around 1000 units.

"Machine substitution" is to solve the shortage of labor and ease the pressure of continuous rising labor costs. Especially for textile and garment industry, it is more important to make up for manpower shortage by machine. The two is to improve production efficiency with intelligent equipment, so as to reduce the cost per unit time and increase profit space. At present, China's advanced textile enterprises have used 40~50 for every ten thousand ingot ring spinning, and the general ring spinning enterprises have reduced from 150 yuan to 100 people. Experts predict that in the next 5~10 years, the demand for machine replacement will be more obvious.

Industry experts believe that at the moment Textile and clothing production In the process of production and process optimization, especially the lack of correlation between production data and process optimization, the level of synergy and integration application of enterprise informatization is low. It is very important for industrial upgrading to improve the level of industrial control and integration, and upgrade the level of information technology as soon as possible.

The industry also has different voices. The head of a textile listed company said that "machine substitution" is only one direction of textile industry transformation. If the enterprise is to scale manufacturing and manufacture efficiently as its core competitiveness, it can do so. But for most small and medium-sized enterprises, it is easy to be imitated by other enterprises to establish competitive advantage through hardware input and equipment leading. Therefore, SMEs must have their own characteristics, make efforts on software, strengthen investment in talents and create environment, so as to support the development of enterprises with the power of innovation.

In any case, the traditional development mode which relies on resource consumption and continuous investment of labor force has been difficult to continue. With the development of the national economy into the new normal, the endogenous driving force of the textile industry must be constantly enhanced. In recent years, intelligent manufacturing based on digitalization, flexibility and system integration technology has attracted more and more attention from textile enterprises. As the first year of the Chinese robot, a large number of enterprises began to walk on the road of "machine substitution" in 2014. I believe that as more and more enterprises devote themselves to relevant technology research and development and implement related technology applications, the vitality of industrial development will be further stimulated.
