How To Break The Bottleneck Of Industry Innovation Under The Application Of 5G

Just after the Spring Festival, in the intelligent workshop in Qipai Industrial Park, intelligent robots have been put into hot production. The reporter saw that in the sixth floor of the cutting workshop, 5g AGV (automatic handling robot) car will just cut the clothing fabric, transported to the sewing workshop on the third floor of another building. In the process of transportation, the AGV car goes up and down the elevator, enters and exits the rolling shutter door by itself, spanning different production areas, and goes through smoothly

As a well-known minpai clothing enterprise with a history of 40 years, Qipai actively responds to the spirit of Quanzhou Private Economic Development mobilization meeting, and constantly speeds up the construction of intelligent manufacturing collaborative management platform under the background of 5g, which has set up the demonstration role of efficiency improvement and machine OEM for Fujian clothing enterprises and even China's textile and garment industry.

5g realizes seamless intelligent logistics

Ren Hongjian, director of Qipai suit production center, said, "5g plus the whole system now makes it possible for AGV to pass through different floors and automatically enter elevators to cross floors, including delivering from different workshops to designated locations. The delivery time of our customized clothing is generally very short and the construction period is very fast. After accessing 5g + AGV, we can realize the cutting and batching in the first time and send them to the designated workshop and assembly line, which greatly improves the speed and reduces the labor cost. "

According to reports, as early as the end of 2019, Qipai launched the 5g + AGV project, with a total investment of 3 million yuan, which was jointly completed by Qipai, Quanzhou Equipment Manufacturing Research Institute of Haixi Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Quanzhou branch of China Mobile. In the first phase of the project, three AGV vehicles will be put into the production workshop, and 5g automatic handling robot will be applied to help enterprises realize seamless connection and signal coverage in all aspects of clothing production, such as cutting, sewing, garment making and warehousing, so as to improve production efficiency and machine OEM. "Compared with manual handling, the efficiency of automatic handling has increased by 150% and the personnel cost has been reduced by 70%. At present, our 5g network and three AGVs have been delivered for use, and the phase II warehousing logistics is under orderly construction." Ren Hongjian said. It is estimated that the project will directly generate economic benefits of about 5 million yuan.

Not only that, while building smart logistics, Qipai also introduces MES intelligent manufacturing production management system with the help of 5g network. In its suit hanging manufacturing workshop, each worker's console has a tablet, and production workers can directly view the current garment production process through the video issued by the MES intelligent management system. Ren Hongjian said that through the MES intelligent manufacturing system and 5g application, Qipai can solve the data transmission problem of more than 1200 industrial grade pad terminals in the workshop, and realize automatic arrangement and real-time reporting of garment production process.

This is due to the seamless access to 5g signals.

It is understood that in general, the personnel and equipment of the clothing intelligent storage system are mostly distributed in multiple factories and floors, and have the characteristics of rapid movement. However, 5g high-frequency band networking technology features great loss of signals when penetrating from outdoor to indoor, which is easy to form signal blind areas and shadow areas. However, Qipai's project adopts 5g network indoor distribution optimization scheme, adopts baseband remote indoor distribution technology, reasonably arranges remote RF units, evenly distributes radio frequency signals to the coverage area of storage system, realizes the 5g seamless coverage of AGV cross factory and cross floor unmanned transportation, converts 5g signal into WiFi signal, so as to realize 5g seamless connection of mobile terminal equipment such as flat panel Enter.

In the future, Qipai will further build a manufacturing collaborative management platform of product personalization, design collaboration, supply agility, manufacturing flexibility and decision intelligence in the clothing industry through the integration of AGV handling system and MTM system, CAD printing system, production execution MES system, standard working hours GST, production Kanban and other modules.

Smart clothing has become the industry trend

Industry insiders told reporters that in the traditional technological process, 95% of the time of textile materials is spent in logistics transportation and waiting for processing, and there will be errors in the manual transportation and circulation process, which will lead to waste. Therefore, the key to improve the operation efficiency of flexible production line is to reduce the material transportation flow time between processes and realize accurate and efficient inter process flow 。 Qipai's 5g logistics project makes it one of the first enterprises in the field of textile and garment industry to successfully use 5g independent network to dispatch AGV robots.

Similarly, in Quanzhou, the 5g intelligent chemical plant jointly built by Fujian Mobile and Baihong group, brand new polyester industrial yarn project, has been successfully put into operation not long ago. Experts predict that with the rapid development of 5g network construction, the accelerated maturity of the main links of the industrial chain, and the continuous deepening of industrial integration and application, Quanzhou, as the representative of the traditional shoe and clothing manufacturing base, will enjoy the scientific and technological dividend brought by intelligent manufacturing.

Recently, the mobilization meeting for the development of private economy in Quanzhou City proposed that we should enhance the kinetic energy of scientific and technological innovation, and take the lead in promoting the transformation and upgrading, reform and innovation, and healthy development of the private economy. Textile shoes and clothing is an important leading industry in Quanzhou. According to the decision of "Jinjiang experience" on innovation and development and accelerating the establishment of national private economy demonstration city issued by Quanzhou Municipal Party committee and municipal government, the annual output value of Quanzhou textile shoes and clothing will exceed trillion yuan by 2035. To achieve this goal, we must strengthen the main role of private enterprises in innovation, guide private enterprises to further break the bottleneck of scientific and technological innovation, and constantly improve the core competitiveness of textile and garment enterprises in our city.

Industry insiders said that for a long time, textile and clothing is the synonym of labor-intensive. Quanzhou garment enterprises explore automatic and efficient intelligent logistics under 5g conditions, which not only changes the traditional concept of "emphasizing production and ignoring logistics", but also greatly improves the competitiveness of enterprises. At the same time, it sets up a strong demonstration for national textile, footwear and clothing enterprises to explore the construction of 5g intelligent factories The role of model. "The 5g smart logistics project of Qipai has realized efficiency improvement and machine OEM, greatly reducing the labor intensity of enterprise workers and improving production efficiency, which is helpful for other shoe and clothing enterprises to learn from, and even promote to textile, footwear and clothing enterprises in the whole province and the whole country."

In fact, "environmental protection, ecology, intelligence and digitization will be the theme of future clothing development, and intelligent clothing has become one of the focuses of industry competition. Baihong, Qipai and other Quanzhou textile and garment enterprises have taken a quick step in the field of intelligent clothing, continue to innovate, and strive to shape new core competitiveness, which will continuously boost China's textile and garment industry into the 5g era and the industrial Internet era. " Quanzhou textile clothing chamber of commerce related responsible person said.
