The successful holding of the previous sock Expo and the continuous innovation of sock industry have established and consolidated Zhuji's position as the "socks capital of the world" in the Tang Dynasty. As the largest sock industry cluster in the world, Datang socks industry has been the weathervane for the development of China's and even the global sock industry from product design to technological innovation, from hosiery machine to socks. At present, Datang socks industry has formed the development advantages of the whole industry chain.

At present, in the face of the complex and severe international environment and the challenge of the rise of socks industry in many places, how can Datang's traditional socks industry develop in the direction of intelligence, green and high-end?

The reporter has learned that in recent years, Datang socks industry has taken the opportunity of "machine replacement and sub industry" pilot work in Zhejiang Province, focused on the deep integration of digital intelligence application and traditional industry, accelerated the layout of the whole industry chain digital intelligence architecture with "socks industry brain + digital intelligence factory + digital infrastructure" as the core, which laid a solid foundation for the construction of "socks industry industrial brain".

"Orders are full this year, and there are more than 300 outsourcing hosiery machines to help us process." Dai Tiejiang, general manager of Zhuji yanaisi needle textile Co., Ltd., said that the company's fourth digital weaving workshop is being installed and debugged these days, and 80 integrated hosiery machines can be put into normal production by the end of September.

It is reported that in the past two years, the company has three digital weaving workshops have been put into production. At the same time of hosiery machine installation, Zhuji yanaisi needle textile Co., Ltd. has introduced intelligent factory network management system. Each hosiery machine has a number, and 22 infrared sensors are installed. As long as a thread end of any hosiery machine is loose or broken, the workshop data display screen can see that the hosiery machine is in the "fault" state, and the blocking worker will deal with it immediately, so it will not produce substandard socks as before.

"The advantage of digitization is not only to reduce the defective rate. After receiving an order, as long as we input the flower shape, output, delivery date and other instructions, the computer control system will automatically arrange orders for production, and solve the pain points of inaccurate data and waste of raw materials caused by manual counting and manual scheduling." Dai Tiejiang said.

Dai Tiejiang made an account. In the past, a car stopper could only manage 12 ordinary hosiery machines at most, but now he can manage at least 20 integrated hosiery machines. This change alone can save 1 million yuan in salary expenditure a year.

In Zhushi Textile Co., Ltd. At present, Datang socks has cultivated one provincial industrial Internet platform in Zhejiang Province, created two provincial demonstration enterprises of industrialization and industrialization integration in Zhejiang Province, built 87 digital workshops at Zhuji city level, more than 600 industrial robots in service, and more than 5200 networking socks equipment, realizing the whole process of digital transformation.

From the digitization of an enterprise to the digitization of an industry, this is the common goal of the local government and the industry.

The reporter learned that in June this year, Zhuji socks industry brain project was successfully selected into the second batch of industrial brain construction pilot list in Zhejiang Province, which marks that Datang socks industry will be upgraded to a new era of digital intelligence development. Socks industry brain development and construction of socks industry industrial Internet platform, data warehouse, application scene center, provides three major services of enterprises, service providers and government, and gradually popularizes and applies to the national socks industry cluster.
