Fujian Textile Industry Wants to Use Robots to Break Through the Development Bottleneck

In the first half of this year, Fujian Province, above-scale textile enterprises industrial added value increased by 11.4% year-on-year, 4.6 percentage points higher than the national industry. Enterprises above the size of the accumulated main business income of 103.662 billion yuan, an increase of 7.7%, higher than the national industry 2.3 percentage points; total profit of 11.3 billion yuan, an increase of 12.9%, higher than the national industry 3.5 percentage points.

　　In the face of global textile overcapacity, reduced demand in domestic and foreign markets and increasing labor costs and recruitment difficulties and other issues, as a representative of labor-intensive industries, the textile industry encountered a bottleneck in the development of bottlenecks. In this regard, Fujian Province to take the initiative to follow up the “Industry 4.0” and “Made in China 2025” strategy, the introduction of preferential policies to encourage enterprises to configure new automation equipment, through the implementation of the “machine-for-man” technological transformation projects, to make the “machine-for-man” technology and innovation projects, to make the “machine-for-man” technology and innovation projects. “Technological reform projects, so that the production process intelligence, textile enterprises to transform and upgrade the important weapon.

Intelligent production process 

　　Recently, Fujian Shenyuan New Material Co., Ltd. and the world's top Dutch DSM signed Caprolactam II project technology license agreement to accelerate the construction of the global **** caprolactam production base; this month, the domestic nylon industry ****** fully automated high-speed production line will be formally put into use in Fujian Jingfeng Science and Technology Co. “The new horn ......

　　With the disappearance of the demographic dividend, recruitment difficulties, labor is increasingly expensive to become a problem plaguing textile enterprises. In this context, many textile enterprises to actively implement the “machine for labor” as a way to transform and upgrade, improve quality and efficiency.

　　Changle, Jinjiang and other counties (cities) is the main gathering place of textile industry in Fujian Province. Changle Liheng Nylon Technology Co., Ltd. is making every effort to build a global **** nylon polymerization and spinning production enterprises. According to the company's deputy general manager Chen Lijun, because of the application of semi-automatic new equipment, the number of workers in the workshop is more than 50% less than before.

　　Similarly, in Jinjiang Longfeng Company, automation reform is also carried out boldly. In the Longfeng new industrial park phase I, introduced from Japan's Tsuda loom running at high speed, 1 person to see 100 sets of equipment, workshop manpower greatly streamlined. According to reports, the traditional production of such more than 1,000 water jet looms factory, almost 700 people to maintain normal operation, but now only 200 people.

　　There are many such enterprises, Fujian Jinxing Group in fact, as early as 2011 when the factory expansion, has begun to embark on the “machine for labor” planning. Fully automatic packaging line is only the company's first step in this regard, at present, the company's other specifications for the packaging of products as well as the introduction of automated equipment for the development and introduction of front-end processes is also on the agenda.

　　Industry insiders say, “machine for labor” not only solves the lack of labor, ease the pressure of rising labor costs, and intelligent equipment to improve production efficiency, reduce the cost per unit of time, thereby increasing profitability.

Industry breakthrough against the trend 

“Since the beginning of this year alone, more than 30 new products have been launched. Among them, nylon cool yarn, flat yarn, split-fiber mother yarn and other specialty products are welcomed by the market, and the added value of the products is more than 10% higher than conventional products.” Changle a textile enterprise in charge of the introduction.

　　It is understood that through the “machine for labor”, many textile enterprises to taste the sweetness. The first two quarters of this year, Fujian Xingang Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. sales increased by 10% over the same period last year, to achieve growth against the trend. Xin port spinning machine company's “predecessor” is Changle Hanggang Knitting Products Co., Ltd., under the guidance and support of the government, the enterprise will be the industrial chain to the upstream extension of equipment manufacturing, the creation of the Xin port spinning machine company, and the independent success of the development of domestic warping machine, breaking the warping machine dependent on imports of the situation. At present, the warp knitting machine produced by Xinguang occupies 60% of the national market.

　　As a leading textile and chemical fiber enterprises in Jinjiang, Fujian Jinxing Group's Zhengqi High Fiber from Taiwan in 2014, the introduction of chemical fiber industry in Fujian Province, the first fully automated packaging equipment, according to the production capacity of nearly 400 tons a day, in the packaging process to save nearly 120 employees, and the quality of the product packaging has also been improved.

　　In Shishi, the application of industrial robots has become an important highlight of the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and its effect exceeds expectations. Shishi garment industry last year began the application of industrial robots. It is understood that before the work of cutting pieces of clothing production to 2 ~ 3 workers to lay the cloth, the first cloth flat stacked into 50 ~ 200 layers, each stacked layer of workers with a hand or stick smoothing, time-consuming and laborious. The use of robots instead of manual cloth, not only greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers, but also improve production efficiency.

“Machine for labor” for new kinetic energy. Data show that in Changle, more than 85% of the local cotton spinning enterprise equipment to reach the domestic leading level, “machine for labor” so that the level of enterprise labor from 58 people before the technological transformation / 10,000 spindles down to the current 36 people / 10,000 spindles, a decline of nearly 40%. “Under the same conditions, the new automated production line will reduce labor by about 50%, reduce energy consumption by about 30%, and each ton of nylon filament can save 800 yuan in costs, significantly improving production efficiency.” The person in charge of a textile enterprise in Changle said.

Enhance the endogenous power of the industry 

　　Industry insiders point out that the textile industry is a labor-intensive industry, with the gradual disappearance of China's demographic dividend, the transformation and upgrading can not be delayed. Mechanization, automation, intelligence has become the transformation of traditional industries, promote industrial restructuring and upgrading, reduce staff and increase efficiency, alleviate the difficulty of recruiting an effective way, which also opened China's “machine for man” curtain. Especially at present, the textile and garment production process, production and process optimization is insufficient, through the “machine for work” to improve the integration of industrial control applications, as soon as possible to enhance the level of information technology industry as soon as possible, for industrial upgrading is critical.

“The traditional dependence on resource consumption and the continuous investment of labor force development model has been unsustainable, with the development of the national economy into a new normal, the textile industry's endogenous power must be constantly enhanced.” The relevant person in charge of the Fujian Textile Industry Association said.

　　It is understood that Fujian Province, Quanzhou City, Jinjiang City, three provinces and municipal governments have issued a number of measures to encourage enterprises to purchase automation equipment. Jinjiang Municipal People's Government in the “on the promotion of the healthy development of textile footwear enterprises a number of opinions” proposed that the textile footwear enterprises intelligent transformation investment in more than 500,000 yuan, according to its actual transformation costs of 10% to give financial subsidies, the maximum subsidy limit of 1 million yuan. Last year, Jinjiang launched a related work to promote the application of intelligent technological transformation of traditional enterprise production lines.

　　For textile enterprises, “machine for work” heat, the same to look at the problem in two, machine for some enterprises may be an opportunity, but the equipment digitalization, intelligent enhancement, more difficult, from the process to the overall production process for the overall integration, so it is more challenging.

　　In this regard, experts pointed out that the textile enterprises to adapt to local conditions, not necessarily in one step. Especially through technological innovation to continuously optimize the differentiation of their products.
