Pearl River Delta Textile Industry "Machine Replacement" Plan Encountered New Challenges

stay

The major enterprises in the manufacturing field are in the predicament of recruitment difficulties. A government led machine replacement scheme is in full swing.

It is the Guangdong intelligent manufacturing test area. As early as 5 years ago, the sweater industry in Dalang town of Dongguan has already completed the "machine substitution", and the workers here have been reduced from 500 thousand to 50 thousand now.

The reform of machine substitution in Dalang has its valuable experience and its new predicament.

According to the reporter's visit, 3 years ago, the computerized flat knitting machine market was saturated. Now it is the recession period of the computerized flat knitting machine. A cheap two mobile phone is dominating the market.

It has been revealed that most of the so-called "robot" manufacturers in the locals are actually capable of supporting mechanical auxiliary facilities.

"Everyone is thinking about how to make the boat faster and more successful in the limited resources."

I can't take it.

"Machines also have nerves."

Factory leaders hope that the finished products produced by computerized flat knitting machines are not just a piece of cloth, but a complete sweater.

Wang Wangguo, general manager of Andy woolen garments Co. Ltd. in Dalang Town, seems hard to realize.

In view of the expansion and contraction properties of raw materials, only the sewing part can not be operated by machine, so the machine is not everything.

In June 9th, the reporter visited Andy company, and found that the workers of the seams were a clear female worker. They were mainly from Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Sichuan.

The women workers said that the sewing procedure is demanding and the fingers must be sensitive, so that one gear can be aligned to one hole.

Wang Wangguo introduced that the age of sewing workers should not be too large. "Eyes should look at a very thin job, but they are too old to do it."

The average worker can sew three dozen to four dozen of the popular clothes in a day. Now, it is difficult to recruit a skilled sewing worker in the 7000 month salary.

The finishing stage of sweaters is subdivided into two parts: checking up and ironing.

Most of the repair workers are women. They are mainly responsible for checking the sizes, traces and defects of clothes.

Ironing workers are mostly men. They work in high temperature and high humidity all the year round, and steam from boiler is continuously pported to their work area.

A little negligence in ironing will result in clothes.

Reflective processes can not be replaced by machines.

The replacement of machines in Dalang town is mainly reflected in the weaving process of wool weaving process.

Andy company currently has 34 computerized flat knitting machines, and 8 workers are on duty for 24 hours. Each time shifts, the computerized flat knitting machine is shut down for one hour.

He also said that when robots have neuropathy, they can only work normally in the environment of 10 degrees C-28 C.

Machine intelligence.

"Sweater becomes fashionable from warm products".

Yinlong North Road, Dalang Town, has now evolved into a computer flat knitting machine.

In the Dongguan Dragon Star computer flat knitting machine manufacturing Co., Ltd., a hand-held machine that has been eliminated for many years is displayed. Before the computerized flat knitting machine was released, the hand-held machine dominated the wool weaving industry.

This hand-held machine will soon be collected by Dongguan science and Technology Bureau.

Tan Jiang, the regional manager of the company, demonstrated the operation process of the hand-held machine to the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter. He saw that he pushed the needle, joined the yarn, added the needle, reduced the needle, and added one needle to three turns.

All kinds of movements are interlinked, "which area of work should be pushed to, how many needles to add and decrease, and every detail should be paid attention to."

He said that if any step went wrong, the clothes would be woven wrong.

The hand-held machine appeared since the 90s of last century, and it ended the long history of artificial weaving.

However, workers need to stand for a long time when they operate their hand-held machines. In order to save energy, they frequently swing their waist and hips. "Handcrank workers are usually grumpy and their buttocks are very fat."

Motor installation on the fuselage fuselage brings a pient semi-automatic era.

The semi-automatic hand-held machine still does not add or subtract needles. The command of this procedure is issued by the controller.

At the same time, a worker can control two machines at the same time, and they do not need to swing their waist day after day as usual.

From 2008 to 2012, the intelligent computerized flat knitting machine began to enter the major textile factories.

Computerized flat knitting machine is referred to as computerized flat knitting machine. Its title extends the concept of "pverse knitting".

The emergence of computerized flat knitting machine has liberated the manpower of the weaving part. It can also interweave all kinds of wool threads and weave twisted rope, twisted bar and other very complicated tissues and beautiful lace lace in continuous huff and puff.

Tan Jiang said that the products made by computerized flat knitting machine have subverted people's understanding of sweaters, and their knitted knitted fabrics are light and soft.

After receiving the order, technicians have designed the corresponding knitting program according to the needs of customers. These programs are mostly read by the software produced by Zhejiang Heng Qiang Polytron Technologies Inc.

"Cake" is limited.

Machines still struggle for cheap labor abroad.

In 2015, the first year of China's robotics industry, which was seen as the disappearance of the demographic dividend, was also put forward in the Pearl River Delta region based on the "machine replacement" plan.

Zhou Qi, general manager of Dongguan longzhongxing computer flat knitting machine manufacturing Co., Ltd., said that 10 years ago, the wool industry was faced with the problem of talented people breaking down. The older generation was going on, but few of the children born after 80 and 90 were willing to take the hand-held machine handle for more than ten hours.

"The last batch of migrant workers, after years of struggle, had a certain amount of savings and chose to go back to the mainland to start their own business."

Zhou Qi said that the reality forced every wool company to find another way out.

Shortening the delivery cycle is another reason for forcing machines to change hands.

Affected by the financial crisis in 2008, many orders were broken down into pieces. Orders for the past one hundred thousand orders could be shipped at one time. Now, ten thousand pieces and twenty thousand pieces are shipped in batches.

Businesses have reduced their inventory risks, but manufacturers have had to increase production efficiency.

In the entire production process of wool weaving, the design and pportation links can not be speeded up. Manufacturers can only make articles from the weaving part. "Machines can work 24 hours without tiredness."

Tan Jiang said.

Zhou Qi introduced that, for a time, mechanical hand-held machines, semi-automatic hand-held machines and computerized flat knitting machines coexist with each other. "The pformation process is very painful," he said.

In 2004, there were about 15 manufacturers of computerized flat knitting machines in China, of which no more than 5 were formed.

Now, the whole town of Dalang has 40 thousand computerized flat knitting machines, which are distributed in two thousand local wool weaving factories.

As migrant workers continue to leave and leave, the present town of Dalang looks a little deserted. Hotels and restaurants are giving feedback, and the flow of people in Dalang is much worse than before.

A taxi driver from Xinyang in Henan told the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that Dalang town can not get a few guests a day. He plans to make a living in the old city.

In 2008, the "cold spell of manufacturing industry" began in Dalang town. Up to now, the textile industry here is still not full of blood and resurrection.

According to practitioners, gross profit of local sweater industry has been reduced from the past 35% to 10% now. Some enterprises need to rely on tax rebates to survive.

"In fact, the demand is almost the same every year, but many orders have been taken away by Southeast Asia and South Asia, and cake is just like this."

Tan Jiang said that ten months ago, the workers in the Pearl River Delta were paid more than 2000 yuan a month, but Bangladesh went on strike last year. Clothing workers only wanted to raise their salaries to 150 dollars.

Lack of Chinese blood.

Many of the core parts of robots are imported.

The development of China's computerized flat knitting machine seems to have lost the power to pursue perfection.

It has been discovered that the market of computerized flat knitting machine has been saturated 3 years ago. Now it is the recession period of domestic computerized flat knitting machine, and a cheap two mobile phone is dominating the market.

The computerized flat knitting machine is an alien species. The world's earliest automatic knitting flat knitting machine belongs to the German Stoll company and the Japanese island fine company. In China, these two machines are called the Stoll machine and the Sima machine respectively.

From the end of last 80s to the beginning of 90s, China represented the two enterprises: "national flower" and "Flying Tiger".

In the late 90s, the "Flying Tiger" opened the factory to Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province.

Zhou Qi said that in the 10 years before 2004, the "Flying Tiger" took the lead in the world. "It occupies the first place in the Chinese market and has the highest reputation. In China, it is known as the" lose one million units ".

Some from 2004 to 2007.

On the mainland, some mainland companies displayed semi-automatic imitation hand-held machines for many years.

By 2013, the electronic control system and knitting function of domestic computerized flat knitting machine were almost the same as that of imported machine.

But importing machine has been imitated and never surpassed, Zhou Qi said, because of the accuracy of steel raw materials, manufacturing industry, the core electronic control software and other factors, the domestic machine and the imported machine still have a distance of about 5%, "when weaving knitted products with high difficulty and high precision, it is particularly obvious."

In Guangdong, the topic of "machine substitutions" has been heated since last year, but the field is still mixed up.

"1/3's people are really studying, 1/3's people are copying and copying, 1/3's playing concept."

Most of the so-called "robot" manufacturers in Dongguan are actually capable of supporting mechanical support facilities, and the core part of the 99% domestic robot (electronic controller) is imported from SIEMENS and Matsushita, Japan.

Dongguan Songshan Lake International Robot industrial base is the important place of Dongguan government's market-oriented operation. It has attracted many dignitaries to visit. The actual management is Dongguan Songshan Lake International Robot Industry Development Co., Ltd.

Mo Zhuoyan, assistant general manager of the company, said that their goal is to bring together first-class universities, enterprises and talents, so that more ideas can be hatched, but the robot age has not really arrived yet.

"Everyone is thinking about how to make the boat faster and more successful in the limited resources."

Zhou Qi said.
