How To ＂Hang＂ The Big Market From The Textile Workshop

When it comes to the traditional textile and clothing industry, many people associate it with an old saying: "thousands of people yarn, thousands of people cloth". Once upon a time, a large amount of manpower was required to make a garment from spinning and weaving to cutting and sewing, and it was difficult to catch up with the current trend from product design to market even if we caught up quickly and slowly.

But you know what? In the east and northwest of Guangdong, an unprecedented change is quietly taking place in the most traditional textile workshops.

　　 The factory is still the same factory, but the way to connect with the market has changed.

It is hard to imagine that an ordinary coat hanger in the factory can "hook" the intelligent production workshop at one end, while at the other end, it is directly connected to the rapidly changing consumer market.

Wu Weijian, executive vice president of Guangdong Underwear Association and head of textile enterprises, told the reporter that every intelligent hanger in the factory is strongly linked to the real-time demand of consumers. When consumers have more demand for which style of clothes during live broadcast, enterprises can put into production at the first time and quickly complete delivery. "It used to take nearly two months from weaving and dyeing to ready to wear. Now consumers place an order in the e-commerce broadcast room, and we can produce it the next day to deliver goods to customers."

The intelligent transformation of the enterprise's production line makes the garment factory and the front-end consumer market seamless "silk smooth" connection. And the spinning, weaving and dyeing and other links from the upstream of the industry are also driving the clothing industry to refresh, with the same pace.

Along the spinning line, the upstream raw material enterprises are busy shuttling through the unmanned workshop with their own "ID" nylon silk threads.

Chen Chongqing, the relevant person in charge of nylon production enterprises, told reporters that, Each cake of yarn produced now has a two-dimensional code, which is the "ID card" of the yarn and can check its status in real time.

The digital transformation "threads the needle", which enables the traditional industries to converge in space, but also weaves a new network of digital collaborative production.

Yu Shaofen, secretary-general of Shantou Textile and Garment Industry Association, told reporters that within 50 kilometers of Shantou, from a drop of crude oil to a piece of yarn to ready to wear, all supporting facilities are here. "We can quickly adapt to the needs of consumers and platforms, not the digital transformation of an enterprise, the transformation and upgrading of the industry, but the rapid response of the entire industry chain."

　　 From a spinning thread to a piece of clothing, digitalization and intellectualization not only reduce the length of traditional industrial production lines, but also greatly reduce the distance between production and the market. What is woven between warp and weft is a new "opening way" of the traditional workshop, which weaves a new future of this ancient industry.
