Digital Empowerment Is Changing Textile Industry

What kind of "love spark" will the traditional textile industry, hand in hand with digital economy?

In the "intelligent workshop" of Youngor Group's headquarters in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, four laser projectors projected the fabric shapes of various parts of the suit onto a 10 meter long cutting bed according to the ratio of 1:1. The workers on the side skillfully operate the wireless keyboard and mouse and "arrange and assemble" according to the electronic screen. After confirmation, the automatic cutting tool will "draw gourd according to the sample" on the cutting bed which has laid the whole fabric in advance. After 40 minutes, the fabric needed to make a suit can be cut

This kind of scene happens every day. In the past, there was no intelligent cutting bed "blessing". It took about two days to complete a suit of tailor-made fabric.

Digital empowerment is profoundly changing the textile industry. In recent years, with the surging tide of digitization, the industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing have been deeply integrated into various fields of the textile industry, giving birth to new formats, new models and new scenes such as collaborative R & D design, automatic production, online monitoring, and shared manufacturing. These digital, intelligent, automatic technology applications, so that the textile industry and the digital economy gradually asymptotic, accelerate the integration.

Production efficiency has been significantly improved

From manufacturing to "intelligent manufacturing", the digital transformation makes the textile industry reduce production costs and shorten the production cycle

At present, focusing on enabling the real economy, the application scope of new generation information technology such as 5g and industrial Internet is expanding, which is profoundly affecting and changing the textile industry.

Jiangsu Shenghong group, through its own "Hongyun" industrial Internet platform, can track the production, sales, inventory, loss data, equipment efficiency and energy consumption of various materials through the online system, and scientifically control the production process. The group can also connect suppliers, producers, distributors and customers through the industry chain collaboration platform, so as to realize online production, supply and marketing, effectively ensuring the stable production and operation of enterprises during the epidemic period.

Intelligent production process is the core of intelligent manufacturing of Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. has signed strategic cooperation with Shanghai jieka Robot Technology Co., Ltd. and the 22nd Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Co., Ltd, Jointly explore the application of new generation information technology in the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and promote the transformation of the industry from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.

"Changzhou grand gram heavy system detection, through digital technology to solve the problem of gram heavy measurement, for enterprises to develop intelligent manufacturing to provide better support." Gu Ren, chairman of Changzhou Hongda Electric Co., Ltd., said that in the future, the company will build an intelligent system of setting machine based on artificial intelligence technology, solve the problems brought by production relying on artificial experience in the past, and build a digital "intelligent manufacturing" industrial chain from the source.

In recent years, Zhejiang Zhuji Jiyang Street Huilong Garment Co., Ltd. actively promotes the digital transformation. Through the synchronous upgrading of hardware and software in the digital workshop, the data of each assembly line is displayed in real time on the company's digital large screen, which not only improves the production efficiency, but also effectively reduces the operating cost, product defect rate and product development cycle.

As early as 2016, Hongdou Group took the initiative to embrace the digital economy, launched the "smart red bean" strategy, and successfully built 5g + textile and garment industry internet smart factory with China Unicom, and was awarded the provincial intelligent workshop. The overall production efficiency was improved by 20%, the unit consumption cost was reduced by 10%, the work in process was reduced by 30%, and the production cycle was shortened by 30%.

More accurate quality control

From human eyes to "insight", the digital quality inspection system makes the defects have no place to hide, so that the quality is more guaranteed

Quality is the lifeline of textile enterprises, simple and efficient quality inspection system is an important guarantee for textile enterprises to improve production efficiency.

At present, the vast majority of global textile production enterprises rely on manual visual inspection. This kind of quality inspection method has the advantages of low detection rate, slow speed and high cost. The speed of cloth inspection is generally 15 ~ 25 cm / s. an average fabric inspector can find 180 defects in an hour, and the defect detection rate is only 70%.

Shandong Ruyi group develops 5g applications in mobile office, video communication, data acquisition and other fields, and establishes an industrial Internet platform integrating real-time data, auxiliary decision-making and industrial app. The company integrates 5g technology, cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology into the quality management system of the textile industry. The delay of transmitting high-definition gray cloth photos to the cloud intelligent analysis platform through 5g network is reduced to less than 25ms. Under the cloth inspection speed of 1m / s, the real-time detection response time is less than 100ms, the fabric inspection efficiency is greatly improved, and the defect detection rate can reach more than 95%, It is much higher than the traditional manual cloth inspection method. This quality inspection method not only saves the labor cost, but also improves the work efficiency and detection accuracy.

In order to realize the digitalization of fabric inspection, Jiangsu Sunshine Group has developed an intelligent quality inspection system for wool textile inspection by means of "machine identification + artificial intelligence", that is, through artificial intelligence visual recognition, the changes of wool products defects are collected and analyzed, and the defects are judged and inspected intelligently, so as to realize from human eyes to machine eyes. The system has the function of automatic memory, which can automatically memorize the new defects and save them to the database to make the quality management more accurate.

Henan base of Hengshen group chemical fiber plate cooperates with China Mobile to collect production information such as production batch, production line and spinning position, real-time status of process parameters, winding report, broken wire report, alarm information and other production process data, which are transmitted to nylon filament 5g + industrial Internet platform in real time through 5g network. In the balance, based on 5g + radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to read the silk cart information, to achieve the production factors before and after the link; In the packaging process, the industrial camera is used to collect the product internal standard two-dimensional code information, and then it is transmitted to the cloud database for verification through 5g network to determine whether it meets the requirements of packaging specifications. Through the massive data storage function of the platform, Hengshen group can trace the whole production process of a single product with one key, and complete the functions of product quality traceability and sales fleeing tracking.

The prospect of customized service is broad

From "formulation" to customization, digital empowerment has made customized products more popular

Digital application has brought broader development opportunities for garment enterprises which have deeply cultivated customized services.

"Buy buy buy" is the favorite of many female consumers, but it is too troublesome to try on clothes, and online shopping is afraid that the difference between "Buyer show" and "seller show" is too far. In order to solve this pain point, Shandong Ruyi group, together with Shandong Mobile, has created a "5g smart fitting mirror" to help customers automatically try on clothes and change clothes in seconds.

In order to let consumers "wear tailor-made suits without leaving home", Hailan Home Group Co., Ltd. has rapidly established a personalized customization intelligent factory based on 5g + AI technology in the clothing industry, dynamically perceives the consumer demand, and has made a breakthrough in transforming the traditional textile and garment industry from "high inventory after sales" mode to "zero inventory mode after sales", Gradually realized "production on demand, zero inventory".

Mr. Zhang has been working hard to improve the professional competitiveness of fashion and professional apparel industry through the collaborative application of customized technology in the field of fashion and professional service
