At present, the research results of Bezi Technology have been widely promoted in the fields of chemical fiber, cotton spinning, non-woven fabrics, printing and dyeing, wool spinning, textile machinery processing and other fields, helping enterprises to effectively improve production efficiency, improve product quality, improve workshop management capabilities, and reduce production costs. Cost, assisting the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.
Professionals support the operating structure
Among the application conditions for the China Textile Machinery Product R&D Center, there are also corresponding requirements for the soft power of enterprise product research and development. For example: the enterprise has certain professional and technical advantages and the research and development capabilities of textile machinery products and manufacturing technology. , the proportion of scientific and technological personnel engaged in R&D accounts for more than 30% of the total number of technical personnel in the enterprise.
As the core department of enterprise R&D, what is the internal personnel structure of the R&D center and how does it operate?
In 2013, the traveler and ring product R&D center of Chongqing Jinmao Textile Equipment Co., Ltd. was selected into the first batch of “China Textile Machinery Products” R & D Center”. According to reports, Chongqing Jinmao Traveler and Ring Product R&D Center is directly led by the general manager, with a director of the R&D center and various R&D groups under it. Traveler ring accessories��The R&D team mainly studies the combination of different traveler rings for different yarn models and yarn types, and develops traveler ring shapes suitable for ring spinning and compact spinning needs; develops steel ring wires Ring alloy material. The special equipment development team selects new equipment or transforms some equipment for equipment with high energy consumption and low production capacity to meet the needs of current production. The equipment and process matching design team conducts process development and optimization of new or modified equipment; provides the workshop with correct process documents and is responsible for training corresponding personnel. The surface treatment R&D team is responsible for developing new functional surface treatment technologies to improve the self-lubricity and wear resistance of products. Each group is supervised by the project leader, who regularly reports work progress to the center leader. The team is mainly composed of company technical personnel and external experts and scholars from well-known domestic universities or scientific research institutions.
