Accelerate The Construction Of New Quality Productivity Of Textile Industry

The textile industry is not only a traditional industry, but also a competitive industry in Nantong. At present, the development of the textile industry is faced with industry involution, changes in global economic and trade relations, and market changes brought about by the new scientific and technological revolution. How to achieve steady development under the influence of multiple factors? On January 8, at the 70th anniversary development conference of Nantong Textile Engineering Society, experts in the industry discussed this issue.

"To promote high-quality development of the industry, we need to accelerate the construction of new quality productivity of the textile industry." Cao Guoxin, deputy director of the Industrial Development Department of Nantong Market Supervision Bureau, believes that the new quality productivity of the textile industry is reflected in new products, new manufacturing, new retail, new scenes and other elements. Specifically, the key to new products lies in new materials. In recent years, new materials such as carbon fiber, graphene material, basalt fiber, and bio based materials have emerged one after another. Fiber materials are developing rapidly in the direction of high performance, multi-function, flexibility, and sustainability; The key of new manufacturing lies in intelligence, which can reshape the production process and quality and efficiency through equipment innovation; The key of new retail lies in networking. 5G+industrial Internet promotes flexible production, networked collaboration and service-oriented extension; The key to the new scene is diversification. Textile materials and technology are widely used in strategic emerging fields such as aerospace, marine engineering, new energy, rail transit, environmental protection, and so on. "Everything can be woven" has become the general trend.

Nantong Sanrong Industrial Co., Ltd. is one of the oldest enterprises in Nantong's textile and clothing industry. In the past year, the enterprise withstood the pressure of multiple internal and external factors and achieved a growth of more than 10% in operating revenue, which is inseparable from the accelerated transformation and upgrading of the enterprise. Zhou Kehua, the general manager of the company, said that in recent years, the enterprise has made great efforts in the development, intelligence and informatization of functional fabrics and increased investment in technological transformation. In view of the problem of labor shortage in the industry, on the one hand, the company transfers its factories to the outside world, and on the other hand, it carries out intelligent upgrading and transformation of the factories. "The work that used to rely on the experience of skilled workers can now be completed by modern equipment instead of manual work, and workers only need to be able to operate the equipment." Zhou Kehua said that intelligent transformation has reduced the requirements for workers' skills and greatly improved production efficiency.

How to build new quality productivity of textile industry according to local conditions? The integration of universities and local areas is one of the paths. The High end Textile Research Institute of Hai'an Nantong University, jointly established by Nantong University and Hai'an Municipal People's Government, is a vivid practice of combining university scientific research achievements with local industries. "We are committed to improving the ability of major originality, industrial foundation and industrialization of scientific research achievements, and promoting the high-quality development of the local textile industry." Lu Hongbin, executive president of the Institute, said that the Institute was approved as Jiangsu Provincial High end Textile Industry Intellectual Property Operation Center and the first batch of Nantong City Concept Verification Center (in the field of advanced fiber and biomaterials). Since signing the contract at the end of 2023, Nine concept verification projects have been selected to provide technical services for Hai'an Tenghai Sewage Treatment Plant, Jiangsu Environmental Protection Industry Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., Beijing Environmental Monitoring Station and other units. We have reached cooperation intentions with more than 20 textile enterprises such as Lianfa Group, Xinshijia Home Textile, Haimeng in terms of technical needs, industry university research cooperation, scientific and technological services, project joint declaration and other aspects.

Nantong Textile Engineering Society, as an early established natural science society in our city, has been resonating with the development of Nantong textile industry for 70 years. In recent years, the Society has actively opened up communication channels in the industry, held and co organized various seminars, promoted academic exchanges, formed relevant suggestions, and provided a solid theoretical support for the high-quality development of Nantong's high-end textile industry cluster. At the same time, give full play to the advantages of the platform, carry out textile science and technology services, and invite experts from superior academic societies to take pulse for enterprises in our city. The Jiangsu Textile Industry Academician and Expert Innovation Center and the China Textile Engineering Society entity platform promoted by the society to participate in the construction were approved by the "Science and Technology Innovation Jiangsu" special plan, and passed the acceptance recently. "With scientific and technological productivity, cultural productivity and green productivity to promote the high-end upgrading of traditional industries, and the industrialization of cutting-edge technologies, the development of the textile industry is facing a new situation and new tasks." Fan Xiaodong, chairman of the Nantong Textile Engineering Society, said that the Society will focus on serving textile enterprises and scientific and technological workers, and strive to improve service capabilities and levels, Promote scientific and technological progress and innovation in the textile industry, and promote the close integration of industry, university and research and technology promotion.
