Smart Brain: The Textile And Clothing Industry, Which Is The Leader Of "Food, Clothing, Housing And Transportation"

From a piece of cotton to a piece of knitting thread, from a piece of clothing to a brand, the textile and clothing industry, which ranks first in "food, clothing, housing and transportation", has a large scale, long chain and increasingly high personalized requirements. How to reduce costs and increase efficiency, transform and upgrade?

2 minutes, matching cloth accurately in thousands of categories; Click the mouse and use the AI big model to generate fashionable styles that meet the market demand; "Cloud" has been put on the platform to open up all links from raw material purchase to transaction matching for nearly 10000 textile enterprises... The reporter recently walked into Guangzhou Zhijing Information Technology Co., Ltd., and the "wisdom" breath came to his face.

At one time, the cycle from receiving orders to shipping of textiles and clothing was generally more than one month; Today, the first shipment of new models in e-commerce is shortened to 5-7 days. New style, short cycle and high efficiency are the practical tests for every clothing and textile enterprise.

"In the past, when looking for cloth, we had to ask and compare each stall in the fabric market one by one, but it would not be possible to find an ideal one in more than ten days. Now, we can use a cloth checking robot to scan it and get it done in two minutes." The head of Baimian Textile, a textile fabric supplier, said that the company's use of Zhijing Technology's finished cloth transaction service platform and intelligent hardware significantly improved the order efficiency.

The start-up rate of upstream spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing plants is insufficient, and it is urgent to reduce costs and increase efficiency; It is difficult to find cloth in the middle reaches, the inventory is overstocked, and the information island needs to be opened up urgently; The demand of downstream consumers is changing with each passing day, and personalized service is the general trend... Many problems faced by the development of the clothing and textile industry represent the common pain points in the transformation and upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industry.

The rapid growth of Zhijing Technology, established in 2013, is precisely aimed at the pain points of the industry, identified the development track, and reflected that the industrial Internet enables the transformation and upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industry.

This Internet technology enterprise in the textile industry, which does not produce a single line or make a single piece of clothing, has nearly 10000 enterprises and 700000 looms gathered together to form a network. Through new generation information technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, it has fully opened up the flow of information, logistics, and capital, and promoted the overall efficiency of traditional textile factories to increase by 30%.

"Industrial Internet is the core engine for traditional industries to promote process reengineering and improve production efficiency by virtue of the connection advantages of all elements, all industry chains and all value chains." Ding Minglei, a researcher at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, said that industrial Internet is being applied in more and more vertical fields.

This year's government work report proposes to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerate the development of new quality productivity. It emphasizes "implementing the digital transformation of manufacturing industry and accelerating the large-scale application of industrial Internet".

In recent years, a number of industrial Internet platforms have risen rapidly. Haizhu District, Guangzhou, where Zhijing Technology is located, is a microcosm. In the first quarter of this year, the revenue of enterprises related to the industrial Internet field in Haizhu District exceeded 17.8 billion yuan, achieving double-digit growth year-on-year.

Not far from the office building of Zhijing Technology, the global headquarters of Vipshop is adjacent to each other. Looking around, Pazhou in Haizhu District has gathered more than 50 Internet and technology innovation leading enterprise headquarters, such as Tencent WeChat headquarters and Ali South China Center.

Wu Xiaoying, Deputy Director of Science, Industry, Commerce and Information Technology Bureau of Haizhu District, Guangzhou, said that Haizhu District has cultivated six billion yuan platform enterprises, including Roots Interconnection, Zhijing Technology, Pharmacist's Guild, covering equipment, textile, medicine, customized furniture, supply chain finance and other industries, e-commerce services Advantages in vertical fields such as intelligent networking are also gradually emerging.

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the scale of China's industrial Internet core industry will reach 1.35 trillion yuan in 2023, which has been fully integrated into 49 national economic categories, covering all industrial categories.

"At present, most enterprises in the industry still have problems with digital transformation, such as being afraid to transform, unable to transform, and expensive to transform." Li Yaping, the co-founder of Zhijing Technology, said that Zhijing Technology will continue to provide enterprises with the ability of inclusive technology through technological innovation, practical application, and help the domestic textile and clothing industry to enhance its international competitiveness.

"China's industrial Internet has entered a new stage of large-scale development, and it still needs to further explore and form a mature business model with different characteristics, further develop and connect scenario applications for internationalization and standardization, attract more enterprises to enter the market, and enable thousands of industries to speed up development."
