As a global leader in textile machinery manufacturing, how does China Hi-Tech Group Corporation(CHTC) regard the trends in the textile industry such as Industry 4.0 and sustainable development? How to understand the theme of ShanghaiTex 2017 - “Textile for Smarter Future”? During the interview, Ye Maoxin, Vice President of China Hi-Tech Group Corporation, General Manager and Party Secretary of China Textile Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd., pointed out a new direction for textile workers.
Chinas textile industry will see better intelligent construction
In response to the current status and the future development of Chinas smart textile industry, Ye Maoxin said that textile industry 4.0 refers to a new state of development including highly automatic production process, highly intelligent plant management, more manmachine interaction, coordinated environment-friendly production, and cross-border integration among various industries.
Ye Maoxin pointed out: “At present, Chinas textile industry has achieved remarkable results in its intelligent construction. For example, based on the integration of IT application and industrialization, most enterprises are actively promoting information construction and advancing the full integration of IT application and industrialization, which has not only enhanced the efficiency of production and management, but also laid the foundation for the construction of intelligence. I believe that in the future with the deepening of ‘Made in China 2025, Chinas textile industry will enjoy better intelligence.”
To lead the green development of textile industry
Faced with the strengthening of environmental protection policies and the rising costs of Chinese workers, how does CHTC lead the industry out of the storm? Ye Maoxin proposed two directions: Firstly, insisting on innovation to promote enterprises transformation and upgrading from “manufacturing” to “manufacturing services”, in order for more profits from the market; secondly, actively carrying out lean management to improve production and management efficiency and optimize operating processes, in order for more benefits from the management. In addition, Ye Maoxin believes that with the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products, green and science & technology are undoubtedly one of the important trends in the development of the industry. He emphasized that CHTC actively practices the concept of green development and takes science and technology as an important measure to explore and lead the environmental protection in the textile industry. For example, CHTC Fongs low-liquor ratio dyeing machine and air-flow dyeing machine reduce the water resources required for dyeing through technological advances, and consequently reduce the environmental pollution caused by dyeing and printing wastewater. The complete process spinning equipment of Jingwei Textile Machinery has played a positive role in helping customers improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. In addition, the chemical fiber machinery, non-woven machinery, weaving machinery and other products under CHTC have also contributed a lot in improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.endprint
