Lanxi textile industry is activated by “digits”
The productivity of Lanxi textile industry is being activated by “digits”. After the digital transformation of pilot enterprises, energy consumption, error rates, and labor employment all decreased, and efficiency increased by an average of 12.3%.
At the 2021 ChinaTextile IndustryIntelligent Manufacturing on-site meeting held not long ago, the digital transformation model of Lanxi textile industry It was praised by 3 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Chen Wenxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Zhejiang Science and Technology University, said that intelligent manufacturing in Lanxi textile industry has achieved data interconnection and interoperability, which can be copied and promoted.
Such an evaluation is profound. Like other local traditional industries, in recent years, Lanxi’s textile industry has faced increasingly prominent problems such as difficulty in recruiting workers, high labor costs, large production capacity and thin profits. As a result, development has encountered difficulties, and companies have begun to look for solutions in various ways. Lanxi City seizes the opportunity of the “No. 1 Project” of the province’s digital economy, constantly explores the digital transformation path of traditional industries, leads the highquality development of traditional industries with industrial digitalization, and promotes the entire industry Productivity increases.
From rejection to liking the boss, there is a “number” in mind
Having been immersed in the industry for many years, Lanxi Textile people are both confident and troubled.
We are confident that since the state invested in the establishment of the Lanxicotton textile factory in 1965, it has become an important production base for my country’s textile industry. Its main products are white gray cloth, cotton textile color=”#FF8040″>denim production ranks first in the country.
What is distressing is that although Lanxi has made great efforts to “machine replacement” and introduced 25,000 world-leading looms, there is still a shortage of workers and profits are also increasing. The thinner.
Such contradictions have caused experts from the Zhejiang Provincial Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee (referred to as the Zhejiang Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee) to be rejected.
Zhang Youyi, chairman of Zhejiang Weichen Textile Co., Ltd., still remembers that when Xu Jiping, deputy director of the Zhejiang Intelligentsia Special Committee, visited their company for investigation for the first time in the summer of 2019, he ignored him. “At that time, we also thought of many ways, but none of them had particularly good results. Can smart manufacturing help me solve the problem? I don’t believe it.” Zhang Youyi said that in fact, his company also tried smart manufacturing in the early years. I spent a lot of money unjustly, “It talks very high-level, but most people don’t understand it, and the investment is huge and it has no effect.”
But not long after, Xu Jiping brought experts and professors to visit again, and this time Zhang Youyi understood. “As soon as the experts arrived, they said that the investment does not need to be too big. Smart manufacturing is not just about introducing high-end equipment, but about turning data into productivity.” Zhang Youyi said that although the company uses the world’s most advanced looms, they are only used for weaving. cloth. The machines are not connected, the data is not used, and production management decisions are still relatively extensive.
The words of these experts and professors were straightforward and easy to understand, which made Zhang Youyi feel for the first time that intelligent manufacturing is not so unattainable. He decided to give it a try. As a result, Zhejiang Changlong Textile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhejiang Weichen Textile Co., Ltd., became one of the nine pilot enterprises for digital transformation of the textile industry in Lanxi City. Today, Zhang Youyi can “know the whole factory with one machine in his hand.” In his mobile phone application, all the factory’s production, procurement, and sales data are clear at a glance. In his own words, it is “very easy to use.”
From rejection to “real fragrance”, it is inseparable from the strong support of the Lanxi Municipal Party Committee and Government.
At the end of 2018, the Lanxi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government specially invited an expert group from the Zhejiang Intelligence Special Committee to settle in to guide the digital transformation of the textile industry throughout the process. As an organization established by the provincial government with reference to the State Council’s establishment of the Strategic Advisory Committee for the Construction of a National Manufacturing Power, the Zhejiang Intelligence Special Committee provides intellectual consultation and technical guidance for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. In July 2019, Lanxi City listened to the recommendations of the Zhejiang Intelligence Special Committee and issued the “Decision on Lanxi City to Create an Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration City for the Textile Industry” based on the high standards of the Municipal Party Committee Plenary Session. It is planned to take three years to gradually realize the equipment network, data interconnection, paperless documents, process transparency, workshop reduction, management visualization and service platform in textile enterprises.
“In my opinion, this is the last stand of our textile industry.” Tong Yongsheng, director of the Lanxi Economic and Information Bureau, said that over the years, the Lanxi textile industry has been looking for ways in many ways, but the results have not been obvious. “Already using the world’s most advanced equipment, some companies can’t even take stock of their inventory. They can only rely on digital transformation and data to gain productivity.” Tong Yongsheng said that such a brand-new transformation is highly professional and surpasses many companies. The Lord’s understanding requires the help of the government’s “competent hand”.
A precise digital “remedial lesson” has begun in Lanxi textile industry. As Zhang Youyi said, this class is designed to allow machines to “talk” and interconnect data, and generally does not involve device updates. Enterprises only need to install sensors, code scanners, displays, etc. to solve the problem of “deaf, dumb and blind” equipment and materials and realize data collection; then through MES (Manufacturing Enterprise Production Information Management System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Management system) two software systems to realize the interconnection and interoperability of production, procurement and sales data; and then through system applications, from the operation layer,Platform system services in the �� stage enable lightweight applications. Currently, 31 companies have settled on the platform, with more than 10,000 cloud-enabled devices and more than 30 industrial APPs dedicated to the textile industry, initially forming a platform effect.
“Our purpose is to lead enterprises to gradually embark on the track of intelligent manufacturing, so that enterprises can more easily take the first step of intelligent manufacturing – digital transformation, and achieve greater benefits with less investment.” Lanxi Municipal Committee Secretary Chen Fengqi said that now more than 40 textile companies in the city have been exposed to digital transformation in various ways. According to Tong Yongsheng, the output value of these enterprises accounts for more than half of Lanxi’s textile industry.
Digitization increases the efficiency of enterprises, and workers also benefit. Ma Zongxia, a female fabric inspection worker at Zhejiang Wanzhou Holding Group, was initially worried that she would not be able to keep up with digitalization, but unexpectedly, digitalization relieved her burden. “In the past, when inspecting cloth, I had to keep staring at the cloth all day long, which was sore and tiring. Now, once a flaw appears, the machine will stop and the camera will display the location. The cloth inspection is fast and the operation is simple.” Ma Zongxia said, efficiency After the promotion, her monthly income increased by four to five hundred yuan.
