“Lanxi Practice” of intelligent transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises
Reading Tips
As an important production base for my country’s cotton textile industry, Zhejiang Lanxi vigorously promotes intelligent transformation in the cotton textile industry , through the efforts of the government, expert teams and entrepreneurs, not only has it effectively promoted thetransformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises, but the thinking patterns and management methods of enterprise managers have also changed.
“Accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and unswervingly develop intelligent manufacturing.” Recently, at a textile intelligent manufacturing symposium held in Lanxi, Zhejiang, local government officials encouraged participants entrepreneur.
Speaking of intelligent manufacturing, Tong Fulu, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Jinsuo Textile Co., Ltd., said: “We know that intelligent manufacturing is the direction of development. We will benefit greatly if we do it well, but it is not easy to do it.”
As early as 2013, the company established an information management department and an information R&D team. By the end of 2018, it had invested 15 million yuan in information construction and digital transformation. However, the actual effect was not obvious. Although the equipment was advanced, it was “deaf and mute”. Blindness” and “information islands” phenomena exist in large numbers. It was not until 2019 that Jinsuo Textile embarked on the “fast track” of intelligent manufacturing and realized the entire process of production, sales, procurement and other businesses.
“The threshold for intelligent transformation is actually not high.” Tong Fulu said with emotion. This is mainly due to the promotion of government departments and the “prescription” of experts.
The story of Jinsuo Textile is not unique in the local area. As an important production base for my country’s cotton textile industry, Lanxi has vigorously promoted intelligent transformation in the cotton textile industry in the past two years. With the efforts of the government, expert teams and entrepreneurs, Lanxi has embarked on a replicable and scalable “4+X” smart manufacturing path for small and medium-sized enterprises. Two batches of 30 companies have completed smart transformation, and a batch of smart products have been launched. Lines, smart workshops, and smart projects were built. Nowadays, the digital manufacturing enterprise promotion activities are being fully launched in the city.
The government’s “visible hand” is powerful
The cotton textile industry is the pillar industry of Lanxi City. Its main products are white gray cloth and denim with an annual output of 2 billion meters and 350 million meters. The output ranks first in the country. There are currently 500 Many enterprises belong to traditional industrial small and medium-sized enterprise clusters.
However, in recent years, the problems facing these companies have become increasingly severe: difficulty in recruiting workers, aging workforce, rising factor costs, thin profits…
Lanxi gave full play to the role of “visible hand” and formulated the “Decision on Lanxi City to Create a Demonstration City for Intelligent Manufacturing in the Textile Industry”, placing intelligent manufacturing in the textile industry as a leading industry on the important agenda for the development of industrial economy, and taking the lead in the country to carry out industry-wide intelligent manufacturing Demonstration city creation work; explore the digital manufacturing financing support model, and connect the online loan products for small and micro textile enterprises developed by local financial institutions with the big data administration, industry and commerce, and tax-related data. Enterprises can apply for loans online and borrow at any time…
Lanxi also “moved” on-site “Shapinchuang” meetings commonly used by local government departments to pilot enterprises. The first nine companies to participate in the pilot will be declared by the company and selected by the government. The pilot companies must be representative and leading. “We must work hard to show the best and most advanced side.” During the interview, a business owner said.
The reporter learned that the on-site meeting will be held once a month, taking turns in 9 pilot companies, and the main person in charge of the company will take the stage to report and display. At Zhejiang Xinhai Textile Co., Ltd., the person in charge, Qiu Haibin, “showed off” various intelligent equipment to everyone, including big data signage, energy management systems, intelligent cloth inspection systems, etc.
He also shared his experience from the front line with his peers: “Intelligent manufacturing is the only way to compete in the industry and upgrade products.” “Intelligent manufacturing is not unattainable or out of reach, but it is not easy or easy to achieve overnight.” “You can invest a little” “There are tens of millions of paths, but the most practical one is the first”…
In this way, the on-site meeting has become a “brainstorming” between enterprises, and a “brainstorming” that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
“Intelligent transformation is not only a leading project of the government, but also a leading project of enterprises. If the person in charge of the enterprise has a clear mind, things will be easier to do.” “Tong Yongsheng, director of the Lanxi Economic and Information Bureau, said that the intelligent transformation of Lanxi’s cotton textile industry has not only improved the digital reform capabilities of government officials, but also improved the digital management level of entrepreneurs. It is promoted from top to bottom, faster and more effective. OK.
Full-process guidance from an expert team
Compared with large enterprises, the strategic planning of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises is not mature enough, and the process of intelligent transformation is relatively lagging behind. How to better use digital grippers within small and medium-sized enterprises and what…Business links require the use of digital means… Faced with these professional issues, it is often difficult for government departments and enterprises to truly “get started.” Therefore, in promoting the intelligent transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, Lanxi made a “key move”: leveraging the Zhejiang Provincial Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee, it selected an expert team to station in Lanxi to conduct a comprehensive and comprehensive intelligent transformation of the cotton textile industry. Process guidance, leaving professional matters to professionals.
Provided 30 complete diagnosis and transformation plans, conducted more than 100 technical consultations and digital manufacturing plan reviews, and gave irregular lectures… The expert team spent two months diagnosing the pilot enterprises to find out the pain points, difficulties and blocking points, and determine the cotton textile The company’s four common standards for intelligent transformation are to create four major data interoperability systems: “interconnected data between production line equipment, production execution management and resource management system data, computer data between employees, and workshop signboards and managers’ mobile phone data.” In addition, based on financial strength and development needs, companies can also privately customize smart transformation projects, involving smart logistics warehouses, smart cloth inspection, AGV car systems, etc. As a result, Lanxi has clarified the “4+X” smart manufacturing path for small and medium-sized enterprises. The municipal government’s subsidy for “4” is up to 50%, and the subsidy for production equipment in “X” is within 10%.
In this process, a group of platform service providers selected by the Lanxi Municipal Government and the expert group played an important role. “A lot of effort has been put into it, and the collection of workshop data is particularly difficult. For more than two years, we have rested after 12 o’clock in the evening and stayed in Lanxi 20 days a month.” said Chen Wei, head of Tianheng Information. Business managers all know that intelligent transformation is a good thing, but many older employees in the company are resistant. Whether it is equipment improvement and optimization or system redevelopment, the purpose is to maximize the value of data and allow entrepreneurs and employees to jointly change their concepts.
Today, the focus of competition among local companies is changing from competing for equipment to competing for data. “We need to use data to speak and use data to manage.” This is what Tong Fuyou, chairman of Jinsuo Textile, often says to his employees. Now, no matter when and where he picks up his mobile phone, he can know the production and operation status of the company, and can discover and deal with various problems at the first time.
Comprehensive participation of enterprises
Try it out in batches and bring it all together – this is the goal Lanxi set at the beginning of its intelligent transformation. “The first batch of 9 companies to complete intelligent transformation has caused an enthusiastic response in the Lanxi cotton textile industry. The attitude of enterprises towards intelligent transformation has changed from hesitant to proactive.” This result surprised Wang Danxia, chief of the Digital Economy Section of Lanxi Economic and Information Bureau. unexpected.
Relevant data shows that the first batch of nine pilot enterprises invested an average of 2 million yuan in transformation, and after financial subsidies, the enterprises only needed to contribute half of the funds. After the transformation, the company’s efficiency increased by 12.3% on average, the average error rate dropped to 1%, the production equipment networking rate reached 98%, and the average consumption of water, electricity, and steam per 10,000 meters of cloth dropped by 9.8%, 1.6%, and 5.6% respectively.
“The investment is provincial, the effect is good, there are government subsidies, and expert guidance. If we don’t change it now, when will it be changed?” Jiang Qi, the person in charge of Zhejiang Seven Star Textile Co., Ltd. said, “I saw that workers in other companies have easier work and lower wages. Not less, even employees come to ask when the smart change will be made.”
In response to problems such as the low level of education of front-line employees and their fear of intelligent transformation, many local textile companies held special mobilization meetings and selected “seed players” with strong learning abilities within the company to teach them hand-in-hand and successfully introduce smart technologies. System application is implemented on the front line.
In the Jinsuo textile workshop, the reporter saw 56-year-old worker Caring Jin skillfully operating the control panel. He said: “Working is not hard at all. Now I just need to point on the screen with my finger.”
Equipment operation efficiency has been improved, product quality and stability have been improved, and order-taking capabilities have been greatly enhanced… Nowadays, companies in Lanxi that have completed smart transformation have generally experienced the benefits.
Zhejiang Xinlan Textile Co., Ltd. has even achieved unexpected gains: it has obtained three software copyrights and multiple patented technologies, was awarded the title of Zhejiang Textile Smart Factory in 2019, and was selected into the Provincial Industrial Internet Platform Creation List in 2020…
“Intelligent transformation not only effectively promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional enterprises, but more importantly, the thinking patterns and management methods of enterprise managers have changed.” Li Zhengang, manager of the company’s information department, said that currently, the company has written the “Future Factory” In line with corporate strategic planning, we will continue to increase investment in smart innovation and build a modern manufacturing enterprise that integrates intelligence, efficiency, greenness and safety.
