Textile machinery companies build digital factories to increase production efficiency by 5 times

Entering Wuyang Textile Machinery Co., Ltd., located in Wujin National High-tech Zone, Changzhou, Jiangsu, in a digital factory covering an area of u200bu200bnearly 20,000 square meters, the parts production line that has already started is busy. Various digital and intelligent equipment, articulated robots, AGV trolleys, three-dimensional warehouses, stacking robots and other facilities have been successively constructed and operated. After all are completed, the entire workshop can not only achieve automatic production, but also realize automatic product storage and intelligence Management. This is the first digital factory in the textile industry. Compared with the traditional production mode, one person operates multiple machines or even unmanned operation mode, replacing the “demographic dividend” with the “technical dividend”: at least 50% labor is saved, the production efficiency is increased by 5 times, the production cost is greatly reduced, and the finished product The rate is over 99%, and the product performance is sufficient to compete with international giants, which greatly enhances the company’s global comprehensive competitiveness. The company’s chairman Wang Minqi introduced that in the era of intelligent manufacturing, Wuyang Textile Machinery uses information and communication technology and network logistics systems to build intelligent factories, intelligent production, and intelligent logistics to help the textile industry develop towards automation and intelligence. As early as 2006, Wuyang Textile Machinery began to cooperate with universities and scientific research institutions, and developed technical achievements such as multi-dimensional precision embedded control system, electronic let-off, drawing, tension intelligent control, etc., and realized the digitalization of warp knitting equipment. And intelligent, keep about 3 scientific research achievements passing relevant appraisal every year, and the performance and various technical indicators have reached the international advanced level. Among them, the high-speed composite needle single needle bed warp knitting machine, which took 6 years to develop, has produced the key material'semi-rigid glass fiber mesh base cloth' for solar charging sailboards, which has been applied to Tiangong No.1, etc. Satellite antennas have also been applied to Tiantong-1 and Beidou satellites, breaking foreign monopolies in these fields. Intelligent technology, 3D weaving, integrated molding, and personalized customization. In 2011, the company seized the opportunity of the country to implement the first batch of intelligent special projects. Using self-developed intelligent warp knitting equipment, it subverted clothing production from weaving, cutting to sewing. The traditional model, the 3D printing and integrated molding of clothing production, has become a reality for multiple styles, opening up the era of intelligent production of small batches, multiple varieties, and personalized customization of clothing. At the same time, the company has developed an intelligent management system for knitting production relying on'Internet + intelligent manufacturing', which collects, transmits and controls data throughout each production link of the factory, realizes comprehensive information management, and provides customers with remote services through the network Real-time control of order production and delivery progress, products are favored by the market, and the market space is huge. Through the integration of the two technologies, Wuyang Textile Machinery has successfully developed CNC multi-bar warp knitting machines, Jacquard warp knitting machines, double-needle jacquard warp knitting machines, high-speed single-needle warp knitting machines, and fully formed smart clothing in recent years. Warp knitting machines and other products have been sold in most provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, and exported to more than 30 countries and regions such as Canada and the European Union. At present, 5 software copyrights, 9 international patents, and 135 invention patents have been accumulatively obtained; 1 national standard and 7 industry standards issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have been formulated; the company's 'Wuyang' and 'Liulu' trademarks have been Recognized as a well-known trademark in China, the brand value of 'Wuyang' has been assessed up to 3.805 billion yuan.
