Modernization and Reform of my country's Textile Technology

Textile is one of the traditional advantageous industrial chains in our province. It is closely related to life, strung together chemical fiber, weaving, printing and dyeing, chemical industry, textile machinery, clothing and other links, pulling a number of upstream and downstream enterprises in Shaoxing, Jiaxing, Ningbo, Hangzhou and other places, forming a relatively complete textile industry chain. What is the current status of Zhejiang's traditional advantageous industrial chain? distance“Build a global iconic industrial chain”How far is it? In order to enhance the competitiveness of the industry, how can the government and the market exert force? Recently, the reporter took the modern textile industry chain as an observation point and went to Shaoxing, a major textile city, to investigate. The problems encountered here and the direction of exploration may bring thinking. Get out of the changing situation“Yangxian”Under the impact of the epidemic, a relatively complete and stable modern textile industry chain has withstood the test“Yangxian”The added value of Shaoxing's five traditional industry-regulated enterprises reached 37.76 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%. Among them, the added value of the chemical fiber industry increased by 6% year-on-year.“This is closely related to the advantages of industrial clusters and stable chains.”The relevant person in charge of the Shaoxing Economic and Information Bureau introduced that in the upstream of this industry chain, there are well-known chemical fiber, silk, cotton yarn and other raw material production enterprises in Keqiao, Shengzhou and Shangyu; The production capacity of enterprises exceeds one-third of the country; downstream, industrial clusters such as Keqiao's fabrics, Zhuji's socks, and Shengzhou's ties are dislocated. In recent years, Shaoxing has further clarified the layout. The modern textile industry is centered on Keqiao, and the joint development of Zhuji and Shengzhou. And with Shaoxing“one step apart”Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places gather many enterprises in chemical fiber, weaving, home textile and clothing. The clusters are closely linked and complement each other, which together constitute the backbone of Zhejiang's modern textile industry chain.“central axis”. Zhuji, Datang Street, has more than 10,000 enterprises, with an annual output of more than 27 billion pairs of socks, is the global socks industry.“heart”one. Take the latest design drawings and walk around town, you can buy yarn and find foundries and logistics providers. The raw materials are delivered, the socks machine is started, and the new socks can be launched in the online store the next day. If there is new demand for raw material research and development, product testing, etc., you can also go to the local industrial innovation service complex——Datang Sock Art Town seeks the assistance of experts from universities and scientific research institutes. This is the daily routine familiar to the person in charge of the production department of Zhuji Karamela Company, and it is also the epitome of the local close collaborative production method. In this way, the efficiency of the supply chain is greatly improved, and upstream and downstream enterprises also gain a stronger sense of security.“Which link is broken, which material is missing?”All the way to search, reporters almost all got negative answers. Many business leaders believe that,“The textile industry chain is relatively safe”. Under the impact of the epidemic, although orders have been affected to a certain extent, stable supply has enabled many companies to grow against the trend. In the first half of this year, Karamela’s sales exceeded 100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 25%, attracting Huarui Investment, which has always been inclined to new technology fields, to invest 50 million yuan in it. The competition of the future industry is the competition of the entire industry chain, and the latter is composed of various supply chains. According to Ling Yun, a first-level inspector of the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, who has long promoted the development of Zhejiang's manufacturing industry, the epidemic occurred out of sync in different regions and countries, resulting in inconsistency or interruption of supply between the upstream and downstream supply chains of many enterprises in organizing production. , Every place is rethinking how to better coordinate the contradiction between economic efficiency and economic security in the process of participating in globalization, and the production organization method of manufacturing industry has gradually evolved from global procurement to“Taking domestic circulation as the main body, domestic and international dual circulation”pattern, pay more attention to independent innovation, and pay more attention to the key technologies of the industrial chain. In the future, the competition of the industry will also turn to the competition between industrial clusters.“The modern textile industry is not only closely related to social needs, but also initially realizes the‘Endogenous cycle’Driving the external circulation and promoting each other has become an important choice for us to build a trillion-level industry.”Ling Yun said. In July this year, Shaoxing's modern textile industry was selected as a pilot demonstration of a national advanced manufacturing cluster, which is a confirmation. In the market competition, the security of the industrial chain is becoming another important weight besides efficiency. During the epidemic, some hosiery companies outside the province came to Zhuji due to the impact on the supply chain. The stability of the industrial chain has become an advantage for local investment. Strong muscles and bones in the competition, an industry chain that is constantly optimized and upgraded, modernizing traditional textiles In Keqiao, Zhuji and other places, ordinary textiles such as fabrics and socks are happening.“seventy-two”.
