Textile and clothing "machine substitution" to exchange new kinetic energy

In recent years, the phenomenon of workers returning has become more and more obvious. Some provinces in the central and western regions that have previously exported large labor force have now become labor gathering places, which further exacerbates the labor shortage in the southeast coastal cities. With the industrial upgrading in the eastern region, the transfer of some industries to the central and western regions will inevitably lead to the flow of production factors. Coupled with the various advantages of working at home, the phenomenon of migrant workers returning will continue. The "one-way output" of personnel has been transformed into "multi-directional flow".
In fact, behind the labor shortage is that labor-intensive enterprises are already facing the pressure of industrial upgrading. Facing the labor shortage caused by industrial transfer, Jinjiang textile and garment industry has consciously accelerated the upgrading of production technology, improved the level of automation, and activated intelligent Transformation, change the concept of employment, and only in this way can enterprises get rid of the labor shortage dilemma.
Industrial transfer increases labor pressure Smart equipment brings obvious benefitsWith the rapid economic rise of the central and western provinces, all kinds of processing enterprises and labor-intensive enterprises in the east have moved westward, bringing a large number of employment opportunities to the local area. The cities in the central and western regions are not only in urban infrastructure, but also in terms of the number of employees and wages. In terms of living standards, it is almost the same as that of eastern cities. Migrating to work is no longer an option for locals. The willingness of local workers to go out to work has been significantly reduced in recent years.
"Being benefited from the demographic dividend more than ten years ago, Quanzhou's textile and garment industry has risen rapidly, but after entering the 21st century, skilled workers are getting old; in the central and western regions, the manufacturing production areas that have started are closer to home, so that migrant workers cannot They are more willing to travel abroad; the wage input of enterprises is increasing year by year; the younger generation is reluctant to enter labor-intensive industries... These series of changes are forcing the transformation and upgrading of coastal manufacturing industries and getting rid of manpower dependence." Deputy Director of Jinjiang Industrial Technology Center, Harbin Institute of Technology Cai Yuxiang said.
At the same time, the advantages of low labor costs in Southeast Asia have also attracted enterprises to "move and set up factories" one after another. Quanzhou textile and garment enterprises have gradually become a trend to migrate to Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.
In addition to the shortage of labor resources, rising labor costs, and rising raw material prices, factors such as the surge in prices of raw materials also affect the development of enterprises. "If the profit of the enterprise does not increase by 10% every year, it will be eliminated after five years." An expert from Jinjiang textile and garment industry who did not want to be named said that there are only three ways for enterprises to make 10% of the profit - layoffs Salary cuts, technological transformations, and product price increases. For most textile and garment enterprises, currently, there is limited room for layoffs, salary cuts and product price increases, so technological transformation has become an important way out.
Cai Yuxiang told reporters that according to incomplete statistics, there are 80 million people in the country engaged in textile work. In recent years, the average wage for traditional labor-intensive industries has risen by more than 50%, while the profits of large-scale, small and medium-sized textile enterprises have shrunk sharply this year. The downward market, the surging costs, the low technological innovation capability of traditional labor-intensive industries such as Jinjiang textile and clothing, the low level of automation of production equipment, the shortage of industrial workers, and the unreasonable and non-standard production process need to be solved urgently.
At this time, entrepreneurs with a sense of crisis and innovation have already taken the lead, taking the lead in intelligently transforming equipment to relieve labor pressure.
Huayu Zhengying Group, which joined the "big stream" of intelligent technology transformation in the textile industry earlier, has now tasted the sweetness. Mr. Su, the relevant person in charge of Huayu Zhengying Group, told reporters that the warp knitting machines in the company's workshop are generally in production 24 hours a day, and a worker is replaced every 8 hours to take a rest. Each machine requires 3 workers to rotate every month. Work.
"The newly recruited workers are mainly born in the 1990s. They are reluctant to work in night shifts and monotonous work. The management of personnel troubles the development of the enterprise. In particular, the testing process requires more responsibility for personnel. If a roll of warp knitted products is Failure to detect wire breakage and defects will lead to product downgrade and price reduction." Mr. Su introduced that since the start of the "Warp Knitting Machine Automatic Wire Break Detection System" project, automatic wire breakage detection and automatic shutdown have been realized to avoid grey fabric waste. The production of looms improves the quality of products and increases the efficiency of managing looms by 10 times, that is, from managing one loom per person to managing more than 10 looms at the same time.
