Zheng Dejun: A Researcher In The Process Of Textile Digitization

"My professional skills and local industries are highly matched. The combination of the two will help Keqiao Textile Industry solve more practical problems."

Zheng Dejun was born in Ya'an, Sichuan Province. In 2012, he obtained his doctorate from the Department of computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, engaged in digital textile product design, computer image recognition and intelligent technology application research. At present, he is the director of color research center of Zhijiang College of Zhejiang University of technology, the director of textile and garment Computer Aided Design Institute (Class A), and the leader of computer science and technology in Zhejiang Province. At present, the technology research and development team led by Zheng Dejun has completed the development of "China Light Textile City pattern copyright protection pattern data center database construction and pattern comparison system" and "pattern intelligent design software system" through school enterprise and school local cooperation, enabling the textile market and enterprises with digital technology.

"The textile industry should go out of a highly information-based process, which is its real opportunity."

The first half of textile digitization

Zheng Dejun's growth experience can be said to be the epitome of the combination of his personal development and the development of the times.

Zheng Dejun's undergraduate and master's research direction is textile design. When he entered the doctoral stage, he resolutely chose an "interdisciplinary" road. He studied computer science and engaged in digital textile product design, computer image recognition and intelligent technology application research. "Traditional industries need a driving force to move forward, and digitization and informatization are the fire." He believes that the interdisciplinary interdisciplinary subjects of textile and computer can fill in a number of research gaps and play a positive role in promoting the digital transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.

In 2012, Zheng Dejun successfully obtained a Ph.D. degree from the Department of computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University; in 2013, he came to Keqiao through the "330 Overseas Talents Program" of Shaoxing City, and was introduced by Zhijiang College of Zhejiang University of technology; in 2019, the "China Light and textile city pattern copyright protection" jointly developed by Zheng Dejun and Keqiao district market supervision and Administration Bureau Pattern data center library and pattern comparison system "was officially released. Through establishing digital" household registration "for pattern copyright, the system can carry out" household registration management "for pattern copyright data sharing and AI comparison. Finally, it can cooperate with the market supervision bureau, the court of law and other departments for copyright traceability and rapid rights protection. In the same year, it cooperated with Shaoxing buting Textile Co., Ltd The developed "pattern intelligent design software system" has been put into use. Buting textile can automatically design 200 patterns per hour through the software. This digital innovation measure of reducing cost and increasing efficiency was praised by the people's daily. In 2020, "China Light Textile City pattern copyright protection pattern data center database and pattern comparison system" was successfully selected in the third batch of Zhejiang "star watching platform" Star application has become the only selected project in the province in this field, which is displayed and promoted to the whole province.

Since he settled in Keqiao for seven years, Zheng Dejun has been using his own strength to promote school local cooperation and school enterprise cooperation. He has actively transformed scientific research achievements through industry university research cooperation and combined with traditional textile industry to explore the development direction of digitalization, informatization and intellectualization. "At present, our exploration has made some preliminary achievements and has been affirmed by the society. However, there is still a long way to go to realize the construction and application of the Internet in the textile industry. Our scientific research workers still need to continue to play a greater role, which is also my mission. " Zheng Dejun said so.

"The synergetic power of politics, industry and learning can make Keqiao stride forward to the international textile capital."

Building a dream future: jointly promoting industrial upgrading with Textile City

In front of the students, he is a teacher who teaches and dispels doubts; in front of the team, he is the leader of scientific research and tackling key problems; for enterprises, he is a scholar who masters the frontier science and technology; for Keqiao, Zheng Dejun is a "new Keqiao person" who lives and works here, such as fish to water, water nourishes fish, and fish live water.

"All achievements are inseparable from government support and industrial support." Zheng Dejun said that when he chose Keqiao, he took a fancy to the numerous textile enterprises and application scenarios here. After years of development, he really felt the support of the local government and industry. In the same way, Zheng Dejun not only promotes the digital development of Keqiao Textile Industry, but also "builds nests to attract Phoenix" to attract many professional talents for Keqiao. "We employ many professional engineering design personnel through full-time introduction, including Shaoxing local people, so that they have the opportunity to return to their hometown and contribute to the construction of their hometown."

Zheng Dejun's next seven-year plan is closely related to the development of Keqiao Textile. In the future, he will continue to use the application of digital technology to contribute to the textile industry. "It is hoped that a professional technical support platform will appear in the near future, which will fully combine the innovation and research excellence of local colleges and universities, the market application advantages of enterprises and the resources integration advantages of the government, and provide the greatest impetus for the industrial upgrading through the coordinated development of the government, industry and university." He said, "when we mobilize all the resources of Keqiao, we will be able to quickly realize the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry, and make Keqiao Textile move towards fashion, science and technology and internationalization."
