Leveraging New Channels To Embrace New Technologies -- Smart Manufacturing In Textile And Apparel Industry

With the rapid development of technology, various industries are actively adapting to the tide of digital transformation. The traditional textile and garment industry has opened up a new pattern under the "Internet +" wave.

At present, a large number of "Internet +" B2B platforms have sprung up in the textile and garment industry, including the old stars such as the global textile network, and the emerging platforms such as chains, networks, networking and search. E-commerce has made the trade process more convenient in the textile industry at the same time, it has also broken through the original geographical restrictions, and integrated the supply and demand of fabrics and garment factories in all parts of China, thus solving the problem of "selling cloth difficultly" and "finding cloth trouble".

The transformation and upgrading of the textile and garment industry, while leveraging new channels such as e-commerce, is also leveraging new technologies. In recent years, with the rapid development of new technologies with 5G, cloud technology and AI as the core, the problem of high labor cost has been relieved by textile enterprises' headache. In the industry, a "machine change" boom has been formed. On the one hand, it has promoted automation and efficiency in production, and on the one hand, it has reduced production costs.

Not only that, along with the textile industry's technological innovation capability has been greatly improved, many key industries have made progress and have been promoted. Digitalization and networking technologies are widely applied in all aspects of the industrial chain. The driving role of innovation driven in the process of transformation and upgrading of the industry is more and more obvious. The large textile and garment enterprises such as Guangdong Yida and Shandong Lu Tai are at the front end of intelligent manufacturing.

According to incomplete statistics, the digital rate of production equipment in domestic textile enterprises has reached 36.06%, the networking rate of digital production equipment has reached 27.74%, the popularization rate of information in production management links has reached 50.49%, and the proportion of enterprises realizing control and integration has reached 19.82%.
