Intelligent manufacturing is the future development of China's manufacturing industry. As a part of the traditional manufacturing industry, the textile and apparel industry is exploring and developing design, production technology, terminal products and services. In the textile and garment enterprises, to promote the wisdom made to create new business opportunities.

Multi-dimensional force intelligent manufacturing

Textile and garment industry has developed rapidly, which is mainly reflected in the research and development of intelligent design, intelligent production process, intelligent terminal products and service intelligence.

Recently, the reporter from CCID intelligence was informed that with the continuous development of the integration of informatization and industrialization, the current for the textile and garment industry, intelligent manufacturing has become key direction of transformation and upgrading of.

Consumer goods industry and Information Ministry of consumer goods industry division, said in an interview with reporters, Cao Xuejun, intelligent manufacturing connotation, including the workshop of intelligent, production technology, intelligent, etc.. At present, many enterprises are in the process of promoting the production of intelligent, which is considered to be the future direction of development.

"Textile and garment enterprises of intelligent manufacturing enterprises in the attempt, from R & D and production to end products are cases. Such as red collar, Angelo and other companies are in the promotion of intelligent manufacturing, the development of personalized customization etc.." The Ministry of consumer goods industry CCID think tank Research Institute deputy director Dai Xiaoxia further explained.

It is understood, in the Ministry recently announced 46 2015 for intelligent manufacturing demonstration points, Qingdao REDCOLLAR group costume customization project, Shandong Kangping Na Group Co., Ltd. of the bobbin yarn dyeing intelligent plant project to become demonstration of textile and garment.

Worthy of attention is, red collar mainly to promote intelligent design phase, and Shandong Kangping Na Group Co., Ltd. of bobbin yarn dyeing factory intelligent is intelligent in the production line. It is understood, Kangping Na intelligent plant have been completed and automation, continuous production line, dyes and auxiliaries automatic batching, bobbin yarn automatic transmission and other functions can be achieved.

In addition, Dai Xiaoxia also said that China's smart manufacturing also includes a series of smart products such as smart fabrics, enterprise in the production process of the use of advanced technology, so that the clothing fabric with warm, moisture and other functions. And 361 degrees, sports brand Li Ning, etc. also in intelligent exploration of the product, such as the launch of the 361 degrees of children anti lost shoes, Li Ning released built-in chip smart shoes.

Transformation and upgrading of the hand

In the case of internal and external demand, the textile and garment industry is facing a transformation and upgrading, and intelligent manufacturing is the inevitable choice.

At present, intelligent manufacturing has become China's textile and garment enterprises around the topic, the industry held a major event such as the Chinese clothing assembly and other related topics.

Textile and apparel industry began to explore intelligent manufacturing is indeed not optimistic about the current situation of the development of the industry. From the recently released data, 8 month domestic above Designated Size retail enterprises clothing shoes and hats knitwear and textile retail sales grew 9.2 percent growth, the chain fell 1 percentage point. Seven large retail enterprises in August, the amount of clothing retail sales fell by 2.8% and 4.8% respectively, while exports, clothing, textiles, footwear export retail sales fell by 7.21% in August, 2.23% and 10.94%.

Because of internal and external need to do, the textile and garment industry is in urgent need of transformation and upgrading, and intelligent manufacturing is the inevitable choice. Angelo said that textile and garment industry after years of competition, has entered a period of saturation, the traditional manufacturing seriously hinder enterprise forward, market requirement enterprise must carry out the transformation and upgrading.

ASTA Garments Co., Ltd. founder and executive chairman Fanyou bin, when accepting a reporter to interview, said intelligent manufacturing can reduce manpower, reduce costs, improve efficiency and accuracy, and promote aspects of intelligent manufacturing is a necessary way for the sustainable development of enterprises. If the enterprise does not make the transition to intelligent manufacturing, will be eliminated by the market.

While the rising domestic labor costs have also prompted the textile and garment industry has to be intelligent transition. Dai Xiaoxia analysis, said: the clothing industry is a labor-intensive industry, the rise in human costs will certainly consider the transition. And in our country labor costs are rising, while the Southeast Asian countries due to the low labor costs, competitive advantage is stronger than we."

In this case, she said: "we must consider how to upgrade its own products, improve the added value of products, some of the added value is relatively low in the low-end industry transfer to other countries, will be high value-added products remain in the country."

In the view of Cao Xuejun, intelligent manufacturing is China's textile and garment industry transformation and upgrading of the breakthrough point and the starting point, and textile and garment enterprises to improve the competitiveness of enterprises, an important way to realize the efficiency of development.

Service trend is clearly

Manufacturing production will be from the provision of traditional product manufacturing to provide products and services to the overall solution, R & D and design, production and manufacturing, marketing and sales between the boundaries will become increasingly blurred.

According to the development trend of international manufacturing industry, the manufacturing industry is shifting from hardware, equipment, production resources and other tangible assets to software, services, solutions and other intangible assets. And the intelligent manufacturing of our country is the intelligent service.

For example, a clothing home textile enterprises with cloud computing, big data and other technologies to sell products to track and trace back, to carry out modeling analysis, optimize customer service, and then improve the design and production of products, or a home textile enterprises to establish a user oriented remote service platform, through the cloud software and field equipment to interact, and provide online monitoring, remote upgrade, fault diagnosis and other value-added services.

At present, service intelligence has become the trend of the development of the textile and garment industry. Ping An Securities in a research report said that the era of industry 4, the consumer sector will usher in the era of integration of online and offline, consumer goods and services will become increasingly blurred boundaries, personalized and service consumer demand makes the manufacturing and service industry melt together.

In this regard, CCID intelligence analysis, manufacturing industry production will from providing traditional product manufacturing to provide products and services overall solution transforms, the boundary between the R & D, design, production and manufacturing, marketing and after-sales will become increasingly blurred.

In Fan Youbin view, intelligent manufacturing based on the system, data and intelligent, the need for information, system, manufacturing, logistics, after-sales service in one, can be said to serve the user, to achieve the integration of products. He hopes to eventually build Asta set design, production and sales in one of the smart manufacturing solutions provider.

n this process, the traditional textile and garment industry began to appear some new business model and business model. As Smith Barney previously announced to raise 9 billion yuan, of which 2.5 billion yuan is used to build the "intelligent manufacturing" industry supply chain platform.

Although service intelligence has become the focus of future reform of traditional textile enterprises, but in Cao Xuejun view, each enterprise in the process of developing intelligent manufacturing should identify its own characteristics, according to their own circumstances to choose. "Intelligent manufacturing is a means, not a goal. Our goal is to improve the competitiveness of enterprises, improve efficiency."

Dai Xiaoxia added that, for a business, as long as a certain link of intelligent enough. Because, from the enterprise itself, the integration of intelligent manufacturing is not easy to achieve, the cost is high.
