Shandong textile “old industry”: expand the market with individuality and reach high-end through innovation

As a pillar industry with advantages and an important livelihood industry in Shandong Province, the modern light textile industry has a good foundation and a large scale. In 2021, the operating income of enterprises above designated size in the modern light textile industry in Shandong Province will reach 1.8 trillion yuan, accounting for 17.6% of the province’s above-scale industries.

This year, Shandong Province has integrated and selected about 10 iconic industrial chains to make key breakthroughs. Among the modern light industry and textile industries, two industrial chains, namely light industry and textile and clothing, are among them. How can Shandong textile companies find the right direction and move towards the middle and high end of the industrial chain?

More refined, professional and focused

As the largest denim clothing manufacturer in the province, Shandong Shangniu Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. located in Huantai County once faced low-price homogeneous competition, resulting in a large loss of orders. dilemma. In just two years from 2014 to 2015, Shangniu Manufacturing’s annual sales dropped by half, and its inventory was once as high as 30 million yuan.

How to solve the problem? The answer given by Shangniu Manufacturing is to focus on product differentiation and production lineintelligent transformation. “Driven by customer needs, we realize the digitalization of the entire process of personalized customization of denim clothing through informatization and intelligent transformation. At the same time, we have overcome the problem of denim clothing washing customization and become the first domestic enterprise that can realize denim customization.” April On the 1st, Ren Haoyuan, general manager of Shangniu Manufacturing, said that after catching the Industrial Internet Express, the company’s operating costs will be reduced by 30%, saving tens of millions of yuan in labor costs every year; the product development cycle will be shortened by 76%, from one month to one week.

Nowadays, consumers only need to place orders online, and Shangniu Manufacturing’s system intelligently typesets and automatically cuts, and pieces of denim clothing with different styles, materials, and sizes are completed from Shangniu Manufacturing’s intelligent production workshop. Personalized customization.

Shandong Shengrun Textile Co., Ltd., located in the Jiaxiang County Economic Development Zone, is an old textile enterprise. At the beginning of the establishment of the factory, Shengrun Textile targeted the acrylic yarn segment, but the market for the ordinary acrylic yarn produced has always been limited to the province. To this end, Shengrun Textile introduced a small-batch and multi-batch production model to produce blended products with higher added value, gradually opening up the market. “With more than 20 years of persistence, our acrylic yarn ranks first in the national market share, making the company a national champion in the manufacturing industry.” Jia Tongxu, deputy general manager of Shengrun Textile, said that in the industrial chain, it is more refined, more professional and more professional. Concentration will become a major trend in the development of the entire industry.

In August last year, Jiaxiang County carried out the “cadres to help enterprises climb” activities. Tian Zhongkun, a cadre from the Organization Department of the county party committee, went to Shengrun Textile as the assistant to the general manager. The needs of Jiaxiang County and other aspects are promptly fed back to the Jiaxiang County Manufacturing Strong County Construction Headquarters and relevant work teams to transform “policy dividends” into “enterprise benefits.” “In addition to helping companies recruit talents, I also help companies apply for Jining City’s technical reform funds of 5 million yuan.” Tian Zhongkun said.

Enhance core competitiveness through innovation

In the past, in order to achieve the production purpose of “multiple varieties and small batches”, Shandong Zhengkai New Materials Co., Ltd. located in Zaozhuang City had to use a lot of labor to complete carding and carding. Work related to the process. After the company’s “smart transformation”, AGV cars have become the only choice for smart textile factories.

According to Yu Tao, a cloud network engineer at China Telecom Zaozhuang Branch, they teamed up with Shandong Zhengkai to complete the application of 5G+ in the vertical field of the textile industry. They used Shandong Zhengkai Phase 1 Workshop as the experimental scenario to create the first 5G+ AGV in the textile industry in China. The intelligent platform system realizes the intelligent transformation of the carding and drawing production process.

Rows of smart spinning machines are running at high speed, and AGV smart cars shuttle among them. This is the scene after the country’s first 5G+AGV smart production application project in the textile industry settled in Shandong Zhengkai. “Preliminary estimates show that the yield rate has increased by 19%, and defective yarns have been reduced by more than 10,000 spindles every year. The production line has 24-hour material supply, and production efficiency has increased by more than 40%.” Yu Tao said.

The printing and dyeing process in the textile industry consumes a lot of energy and water. How to reduce energy and water consumption in this process is a test for many textile companies.

On April 8, the Vosges Group located in Gaomi City is rushing to place a batch of export orders for new fiber portable towels. These seemingly ordinary textiles use liquid dyeing and printing technology and are completely “green” products in the industry.

“We use solution-dyed fiber and cotton fiber blended in different proportions to reflect the color, to replace yarn-dyed products. Since the raw materials used in the solution-dyed products themselves have color, dyeing and chemical additives are omitted in the production process. “Use.” Luo Anqiao, director of the Vosges Group Technology Center, told reporters that using this technology saves about 1/3 of water than conventional processes and can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

“In 2021, the company carried out a total of 123 technological innovation projects, improved 286 backward processes, and obtained ten national patents.” Luo Anqiao said that Vosges Group focused on the development of biological enzyme low-temperature pretreatment and wet short steam dyeing. , salt-free and low-salt dyeing and moisture-steaming color fixation, high speed�Printing and dyeing processing technologies such as QR code printing. Among them, the use of biological enzyme pre-treatment technology to replace the traditional alkali treatment process can reduce production costs, reduce energy and water consumption, and improve production efficiency.
