Ningbo Textile Enterprises Are Not Traditional At All, And The Ecological Circle Of Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Is Beginning To Take Shape.

When "intelligent manufacturing" becomes a pair of wings, the wind of manufacturing pformation is sweeping the globe.

In order to get rid of the disadvantages of the traditional manufacturing industry and create new economic growth points, textile and other traditional manufacturing industries have tried to go out of the road of intelligent manufacturing with their own characteristics.

Ningbo textile and garment enterprises, which are at the forefront of "intelligent manufacturing", are becoming more and more traditional and new.

Technological innovation awaken enterprise vitality

"Scientific and technological innovation is the vitality of enterprises, enterprises should strengthen technological innovation and take a new road of development."

Luo Qian, chairman of Ningbo Shu Pu electrical and mechanical Limited by Share Ltd, said that since 2006, the company has made sewing project solutions for clothing, shoes and hats, car seat belts, airbags and other enterprises.

Luo Qian believes that domestic and foreign textile and garment enterprises have higher demand for automated sewing equipment, and are more inclined to provide overall solutions for equipment suppliers. This also urges the company to continue to study new products.

"I like to constantly explore new things and keep moving forward, and I firmly believe that there will be more new products in the near future."

Luo Qian said.

Under his leadership, he focuses on the construction of R & D institutions and management teams, pays attention to talent introduction and internal training, and employs many senior professional engineers in the industry, and has also set up professional R & D centers, training centers, information processing and testing centers.

As a state-level high-tech enterprise integrating the R & D, production, sale and service of automatic sewing machines, schup has successfully developed 4 series of special industrial sewing machines with more than 40 varieties, and has obtained 185 national patents.

Luo Qian himself was awarded the "science and technology innovation and entrepreneurship Award" by the Ministry of science and technology in 2016.

In addition to extensive technical cooperation with foreign enterprises, schapp has jointly developed projects with universities such as Zhejiang University and Ningbo Textile Institute.

Luo said that this will enable enterprises to continuously enhance their capability of docking projects with large enterprises at home and abroad.

Under more than 10 years of hard work, Schu's products are sold to more than 30 countries and regions.

Always focus on the automation of textile industry.

Ningbo Cixing Limited by Share Ltd, since its acquisition of Stanger in Switzerland in 2010, has come to realize that intelligent manufacturing will be the direction of the future textile industry, and is also a guide for the company's future manufacturing.

China has a large population, but the manufacturing industry still faces the problem of high labor cost. In recent years, the textile industry has been shifting to Southeast Asia.

Li Lijun, director and deputy general manager of Ningbo Cixing Limited by Share Ltd, said that when Li Yizhong, the former Minister of industry and commerce, went to Cixing, he also mentioned that the problems of clothing, food and housing related to the national economy and people's livelihood could not depend on imports.

The development trend of intelligent manufacturing, which can achieve low cost and large scale production while greatly reducing manpower input, is becoming more and more prominent.

From the earliest hand-held flat knitting machine to electric semi-automatic flat knitting machine, and then to the computerized flat knitting machine, the company has developed a new intelligent knitting equipment based on the industrial Internet, which can realize remote cloud control.

The company is constantly arming the knitting industry with the new technology in the direction of automation. The newly developed computerized flat knitting machine can realize 3D weaving and eliminate the complicated post process operations.

Through the development of intelligent hardware and software system, the process flow is reduced, manpower input is reduced, error is avoided, and product quality is improved.

In just 2017, Cixing achieved 1 billion 404 million 375 thousand and 100 yuan in sales and a net profit of 234 million 567 thousand and 600 yuan.

Benefit from digital pformation

At present, enterprises have begun to research and develop single piece customization, which is to meet the personalized needs of the market.

As an enterprise that develops, manufactures and sells automated production, automated warehousing, automated sorting and logistics systems, it must also keep pace with the times in the marketing process. It is no longer a single point plan to customize the plan, but to provide an overall solution.

Sheng Ruisi, general manager of Zhejiang Rui Sheng intelligent Polytron Technologies Inc (Sheng Ruisi), said that the company has already provided solutions for business needs, such as king of nine herds and Dan Ke Yun.

Liu Jiusheng briefed reporters on the self developed linear vertical cross belt high-speed sorting system solution. By using mechatronics control technology, computer network and communication technology, visual scanning recognition technology and other customized machinery to achieve high-speed and accurate material sorting.

The system can use bar code, two-dimensional code, RFID and other coding system to use high-performance identification technology, sorting products of various types of packaging and appearance according to the specific order requirements.

In 2016, Rui Sheng intelligent first linear vertical high speed cross belt sorting system was developed and put into use in enterprises.

After more than 2 years of use, the system has completed the sorting work of millions of garments for customers, greatly reducing the error rate and labor intensity of manual sorting, achieving accurate and rapid logistics distribution according to order requirements, and creating excellent economic benefits for customers.

Liu Jiusheng said that the sorting of 4000~8000 items per hour was adjusted according to the needs of customers, and the accuracy rate of sorting was 99.9%.

At present, the company has applied for more than 10 patents for the system, and has independent intellectual property rights. The system is also an important product for the textile and sewing industry enterprises to provide intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics solutions.

Rapid development of personalized customization

"In order to meet the needs of market development, Cixing began to think about how to achieve highly automation in the production process through technological innovation in the production process of knitwear, reduce the input of personnel, and start from the user's personalized needs, so as to achieve the real-time production capacity of the factory."

Li Lijun said that since 2014, the development of mass customization technology has been identified as the new strategic direction of Cixing. This is also the initial idea of building C2M project (personalized customization), namely, realizing large-scale rapid customization of knitted products based on intelligent equipment.

The C2M cloud platform management system, which is newly developed by Cixing, can integrate all the industrial chain resources such as suppliers, raw materials suppliers, designers, customers, foundries and other industries, and achieve the global distributed collaborative production. As long as the production enterprises import fully formed computerized flat knitting machines, resources sharing can be realized, and localization and manufacturing of products can be realized.

The last generation of computerized flat knitting machine, the computerized flat knitting machine based on the industrial Internet, won the two prize of national science and technology progress in 2016. The fully formed computerized flat knitting machine has made greater progress on this basis.

In order to extend the application of computerized flat knitting machines, Cixing started the "shoe machine" project in 2012, and tried to extend the function of the flat knitting machine to the production process of the upper. After more than a year's research and development, the new vamp production equipment was pushed to the market. In the first two years, the response was not big. But up to now, the productivity of the shoe machine has accounted for more than 30% of the total production capacity of the computerized flat knitting machine.

With a forward-looking and unique market vision, Cixing has become the first enterprise in the country to provide high quality vamp knitting production equipment.

Brand names have become the strategic partners of Cixing.

On the other hand, Cixing investment has established the earliest Research Institute of knitted upper in China, which mainly focuses on the development and design of knitted upper, providing value-added services for downstream customers, and realizing the service of manufacturing industry. It has become the driving force and goal of the company's sustainable development, and will make shoes for the future.

Provide more intelligent solutions.

Citi's idea of intelligent manufacturing is the application of new technologies in the fields of industrial Internet, robotics and artificial intelligence to traditional manufacturing.

The production cost is lower, labor efficiency is higher, labor input is less, and product quality is better.

From personalized customization, independent research and development to platform support, the road of Intelligent Manufacturing in Ningbo textile industry has become clearer and clearer, and now it seems that a complete industrial ecosystem has begun to take shape.
