Today, technological innovation is profoundly changing production and life. In recent years, the Shangshui textile and garment industry has taken advantage of the trend of scientific and technological development. Intelligent software, new technologies, intelligent equipment and intelligent management methods have been gradually applied to actual production, greatly improving product quality, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Brand added value and intelligent “weaving” have provided new advantages for the textile and clothing reconstruction industry, and a number of leading companies such as Shengtai Haobang Textile and Alban Garment have emerged. Today’s Shangshui textile industry has undergone a “reborn” gorgeous turn.
Technology leads intelligent “weaving”
“In the past few years, rows of modern factories and intelligent clothing factories have sprung up in Shangshui, allowing us to truly I feel the power of technology.” Standing in Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park, administrator Wang Fengcai kept sighing.
Wang Fengcai’s emotions mainly come from the different changes in the textile and clothing industry in the past and present. The traditional clothing production process includes manual drawing, cutting out patterns, grading, typesetting, cutting, sewing, etc. In the modern intelligent production workshop of Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park, the cutting and pre-cut processes are mainly based on computers and machines. In the garment workshop of the industrial park, the staff called up a clothing pattern from the computer and sent it to the intelligent cutting bed. Two minutes later, the sleeves, chest, back and other garment parts came out.
When the automatic fabric coding machine sends dozens of layers of fabric to the intelligent cutting bed, and after computer laser cutting, dozens of layers of garments are cut in a short time. The pieces of clothing are classified according to different varieties and specifications and sent to designated tailoring stations. Above the work station, the “intelligent hanging system” automatically travels to transfer semi-finished clothes to the corresponding positions. In the “war room” of the industrial park, information such as task summary data, product summary data, current employees with the worst quality, and current employees with the longest waiting time are scrolled on the LED screen. There is also a small screen in front of the garment production worker showing the employee’s work order information, production information, etc.
“The information in the ‘war room’ allows us to have a clear understanding of current work tasks, work goals, product completion status, workers’ work conditions, etc. The information on employee workstations allows each worker to understand I have some understanding of the completion of my work.” Cui Weicong, general manager of Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park, said.
“As long as there is high-tech support, traditional industries can also become ‘high-end’.” Kuang Huihui, an administrative manager of Alban Garments, said that in clothing production, Alban Design and Development introduced QR codes. Every part of each piece of clothing can be found by scanning the code to find the “handler”.
Li Tianning, chairman of the company, told reporters that Alban Garment uses information technology to improve the digital application level of clothing manufacturing and currently has more than 700 independently developed software. The company uses a self-developed management system to achieve product traceability management by recording real-time production information of each garment in each section.
In terms of production management, the company uses MES intelligent production management system, clothing ERP production management system, large-scale clothing production big data analysis system, data collection and analysis system, etc. to comprehensively integrate the company’s various data resources. Realize the comprehensive integrated utilization of personnel, orders, materials, processes, quality, products, logistics and other information, open up the data flow of enterprises, and realize the utilization of data resources. At the same time, based on the independently developed hanging assembly line garment making system, RFID clothing production hanging conveying system, etc., the products are connected to the Internet terminal equipment to achieve intelligent production process management and control, improve production efficiency and product quality, and also Use independent research and development technology to strengthen information management and build a four-in-one intelligent chemical factory of “efficiency, innovation, energy saving, and environmental protection”.
Reinforcement and toughness of chains
“If we compare the development of Shangshui County’s textile industry to a person’s growth period, our textile industry is still in its teenage years and is currently being replenished. chain, and the next step is to strengthen the chain.” Ma Sanhua, a member of the Party Leadership Group of Shangshui County Government and Director of the County Economic and Technological Development Zone, said that as a traditional advantageous industry, the Shangshui textile and garment industry plays a decisive role in the industrial economy of the county and even Zhoukou City. .
Data show that there are 35 textile and garment enterprises above designated size in Shangshui County. There are more than 150 small and micro enterprises with strong production capacity and good economic benefits and more than 300 processing sites distributed around the county and towns. The number of personnel reached more than 65,000, achieving the goal of strengthening the county economy.
Industry insiders said that it is imperative for the Shangshui textile and garment industry to replenish, strengthen and extend the chain. The printing and dyeing link is a shortcoming. Insufficient printing and dyeing capabilities restrict the development of the industrial chain to high value-added links. . So, how to improve the textile and clothing industry chain and strengthen industrial supporting facilities?
In the two years since Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park settled in Shangshui in December 2019, it has initially built a full industrial chain textile and garment industry integrating spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing, and e-commerce. park. Here, the transformation from raw materials to finished products is only part of the textile and clothing industry chain.
At present, the No. 1 and No. 2 garment workshops in the Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park have been completed and put into operation, with about 1,500 employees and an annual output of 20 million pieces of high-end garments; the No. 5 knitting workshop has also been put into operation. Produces 12,000 tons of high-grade knitted fabrics. “The second phase of the garment and knitting printing and dyeing project is under preparation and can be put into operation this year.” The relevant person in charge of the industrial park said that the knitting printing and dyeing project will be put into operation within a short period of time.�� is when the textile and clothing industry chain is complete.
In the Shengtai Textile Intelligent Warehouse, the reporter saw technicians busy debugging equipment, and industrial robots were working in an orderly manner during debugging. After the equipment is put into use, it will be an unmanned warehouse, realizing automatic purchase and automatic shipment. In the past, it took 10 people four or five hours to load and unload a 30-ton truck. Now a robot can complete the loading and unloading in two hours, which not only improves work efficiency, but also greatly saves labor costs.
Technology is the primary productive force. In terms of technological research and development, Shangshui has invested a lot of money. Shen Zongxiang, the head of Shangshui County, revealed that in order to promote the in-depth integration of industry, academia and research, R&D results and technological achievements will be transferred from scientific research units to production departments, and industrial enterprises will be promoted to improve their processes and improve their efficiency. At present, Shangshui County has completed 26 technical transformation projects, covering all 132 regulated enterprise R&D institutions in the county, 98 of which have carried out R&D activities, and have invested 150 million yuan in R&D expenses.
The dream of industrial enrichment comes true
The stories of ordinary people bear witness to the changes of the times. Wang Weixia, a villager in Fenhe Village, Shuzhuang Township, Shangshui County, has a personal experience of going to a big city to work in a “small workshop”, but returning to work “doorstep” to work in a “large modern workshop”. Like all young people, with curiosity about the outside world and desire for a better life in the future, Wang Weixia was introduced to Zhengzhou to work in 2014. This place is more like a family workshop than a garment workshop. The workshop area is not large and there are not many workers. The garment workers are paid by piece. Fortunately, they can get more for their work, so Wang Weixia started garment processing here. Later, because she needed to take care of her children at home, Wang Weixia applied for a job in Shengtai Haobang Textile Industrial Park. “In just a few years, I didn’t expect that the textile and garment industry in my hometown would develop to such a high level!” Wang Weixia was surprised. What surprised her even more was that when her salary was high, she could get eight to nine thousand yuan, which was more than what she got when working in Zhengzhou. Wang Weixia said that she will not go anywhere in the future and will stay in her hometown and work for the rest of her life.
Like Wang Weixia, Zhang Qiuzhi from Xiaoli Village in Tangzhuang Township also went out to make textiles and clothing in his early years. Zhang Qiuzhi said that although she works in a textile and garment factory in Shenzhen, there is no digital production line there and the level of automation is not as high as here. After working outside for seven or eight years, excluding food, accommodation and transportation expenses, the income is not as high as at home. “Food and accommodation are free here. If something happens, you can get home by electric bike. How great!” As she spoke, Zhang Qiuzhi’s face was filled with happiness.
After dropping out of junior high school, Ah Qiao, 30, experienced the crowded, noisy and flying cotton wadding in small textile workshops. After the small workshop was banned, she now sits in the Alban smart clothing workshop every day to participate in garment manufacturing, watching each garment from raw materials, cloth inspection, plate making and proofing, cutting, sewing, buttonhole buttoning to ironing and inspection. Ah Qiao couldn’t help but sigh: “Listening to the roar of the motor and watching the needles flying, it feels like a lifetime ago. It’s all developing so fast and it’s great.” Ah Qiao and her colleagues The products are exported to Japan, South Korea, the United States, the European Union, ASEAN and other countries and regions. This gave her a sense of accomplishment while increasing her income.
According to reports, Shangshui County has launched targeted investment promotion around the leading textile and clothing industries. Since the beginning of this year, the lyocell new textile material high-tech industrialization project with a total investment of 5 billion yuan is expected to have an annual output value of 6 billion yuan after it is fully put into production. It will provide employment for 25,000 people and generate profits and taxes of approximately 700 million yuan. The Youngor Shengtai Textile Industrial Park project with a total investment of 4.8 billion yuan will achieve an annual operating income of 11.8 billion yuan after completion, pay about 600 million yuan in taxes, and create more than 10,000 jobs. A project with a total investment of 1 billion yuan to produce 26 million sets of infant clothing per year will build a full range of formaldehyde-free factories for infants and young children. After the project reaches full capacity, 210 automated production lines will be built, with an annual output of 26 million sets of infant clothing.
It’s time to hold up the flag and forge ahead. Let’s gather our strength and set off again. Kong Yang, Secretary of the County Party Committee, said that Shangshui County has innovatively implemented the “four maps and four visits” investment promotion work method around the goal of building an international brand clothing supply chain base, and promoted investment promotion through business, industrial chain investment, and leading enterprises as the driving force according to the map. At present, Shangshui relies on leading enterprises such as Shengtai Haobang Textile and Alban Garments to build an international brand clothing supply chain base, accelerating the cultivation of an annual output of 26 million pieces of formaldehyde-free clothing for infants and young children, 300 million meters of Tencel blended high-end fashion fabrics, etc. 4 national single product champions, striving to achieve high-quality economic development, high-efficiency social development, high-speed project construction, and promote sustainable and high-quality development of the commercial water economy.
