Nowadays, digital technology is redefining the production chain, and China’s new manufacturing, which is the convergence of automation, digitization and intelligence, is about to emerge. As a leading enterprise in the field of color spinning in the textile industry, Huafu Fashion Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Huafu Fashion”) continues to accelerate the digitalization process, reshape the traditional production chain, and use new manufacturing to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese economy and textile industry. .
On September 30, Huafu Fashion and Guangdong Meiyun Smart Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Midea Group The company (hereinafter referred to as “Meiyun Intelligent Data”) signed the “Framework Agreement”, and the two parties will conduct all-round cooperation in the field of spinning intelligent manufacturing.
01 Digitalization is not urgent but important
In fact, in March this year, Huafu launched a digital factory construction project. Although the COVID-19 epidemic has been raging since January, global trade cooperation has almost come to a standstill, risks of world economic recession have continued to accumulate, and the international situation has become more complex. Many companies have chosen to tighten their strategies and retreat, but Huafu still Choose to buck the trend. The boldness of this move is self-evident, but it also caused some confusion. Should we do something that is not urgent during such a period? But for Huafu, we always do the important things first. Compared with the current industry dilemma, digital layout is indeed not urgent, but it is just a correct and important thing. Digitalization and intelligence are things that an enterprise with long-term goals must complete sooner or later. Obviously, sooner than later is better.
Currently, Huafu has a scale of 1.89 million spindles, with an annual output of 250,000 tons of new yarns. As the advantages of scale become increasingly apparent, digitalization will promote geometric growth in efficiency and effectiveness. . This year is the 27th year of Huafu’s development. For a person, 27 years old is the time when he becomes mature but full of vitality, and the same is true for an enterprise. Although it is already leading the industry, it does not want to stop there. It cannot stop innovating, nor can it stop following the development of the times.
Because of this, Huafu and Meiyun Intelligence hit it off. As an enterprise information technology company under Midea Group, Meiyun Intelligent Data has the business practices of advanced enterprises and has full advantages in intelligent manufacturing and enterprise information solutions. This cooperation with Huafu can provide enterprises with digital and intelligent solutions, and provide a full value chain for Huafu Industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing through intelligent manufacturing, automation, Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, mobile Internet and other technologies. products and services.
The 02.15 million ingot factory digitalization project was successfully launched
Previously, the two parties had successfully implemented an industrial Internet pilot project in Huafu’s 150,000-piece factory. At a recent summary meeting, Sun Weiting, chairman of Huafu Fashion, was very excited to see the results of the successful launch of the digital project. Comparing the factory’s data in September and October with July and August, the overall output increased by about 7%, and the efficiency of bottleneck process equipment increased by about 5%.
In this regard, the person in charge of the Huafu digital project said: The expected goals of the Huafu digital factory project include breaking through the company’s internal information barriers, improving collaborative work efficiency, and improving factory bottleneck equipment. Efficiency, output per unit of 10,000 spindles, output per capita, abnormal response speed, strengthening attendance management of on-site personnel, management of core spare parts of equipment, etc.
This is actually a very high requirement, and it is not easy to successfully launch a digital project in less than 6 months. It subverts and changes many traditional practices. The project has brought many changes to managers and executors. For example, managers’ working methods have changed from listening to reports to actively checking tools to obtain information; the information managers need to know will be more convenient and real; management The granularity is more refined. The executors previously recorded information through paper documents. After the project goes online, most of the data can be automatically collected and summarized, and other information can be supplemented and recorded through mobile phones and computers. The content of performance appraisal has also been adjusted accordingly. For example, the completion rate of equipment maintenance, employee clock-in rate, and abnormal response speed have all been included in the scope of assessment.
Everyone in the enterprise is constantly learning and adapting to these disruptions and changes. At present, except for the application of individual modules that still need to be improved, the predetermined goals have been basically achieved. Next, you need to persist in using system tools and improving operations. On the one hand, we improve and refine the tool itself, and on the other hand, we strengthen the further exploration of the value of data within the company.
03 Digitalization and flexible supply chain
Some people say that big data Like “oil in the 21st century!” Huafu saw the value of data as early as two years ago. This is a good medicine to solve the pain points of the textile and apparel industry, and it is also the core of new manufacturing. In 2018, Huafu began to lay out the industrial ecological chain from sample design, product manufacturing to commodity trading, with the purpose of creating a flexible supply chain operation platform from “field to shop”. There is an inevitable connection between digital layout and flexible supply chain. The essence of new manufacturing is to improve the efficiency of production and marketing collaboration, which requires connecting and opening up the data flow of the supply chain and production and marketing through the industrial Internet platform. What more companies are doing now or…What has been completed is the digitization of consumer retail, but the value of digital transformation on the manufacturing side has not yet been fully explored, and there will be huge room for development in the future. With the application of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things on the production side, improvements in efficiency and results will directly affect the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing side.
As for future planning, Huafu stated that it hopes to jointly build the digital construction of all Huafu production capacities with Meiyun Intelligent Data within two years, and is expected to achieve equipment efficiency improvements, output Improvement, spare parts management and control, etc. Huafu also stated that in order to accelerate the overall digitalization process of the industry’s production end, based on the successful launch of this project, Huafu will popularize and promote this experience and technology to the spinning industry, and is committed to building an industrial Internet SaaS platform to achieve industrial data interoperability , improving industrial efficiency, shortening the supply chain cycle, streamlining inventory, improving efficiency and other goals to help the industry truly realize new manufacturing.
