In recent years, as my country's traditional pillar industry and an important civilian production industry, the textile machinery industry has entered a critical stage of transformation and upgrading. In 2018, under the background of the overall stabilization of the economic situation and the textile field, the industrial transformation of the textile machinery industry continued to advance, and the overall trend of steady growth was maintained. However, from the perspective of macro data, the growth of the textile machinery industry has slowed down.

Since the third quarter, the textile machinery industry has seen a decline in orders, but it is not very significant. Thanks to the fact that major enterprises attach great importance to technological innovation and accelerate the promotion of structural adjustment, the textile machinery industry has maintained a stable development over the past year. Whether it is the main engine or basic components, the technical level has been continuously improved, and the cost performance has been gradually optimized.

Not only that, in 2018, textile machinery enterprises paid more and more attention to technological innovation and quality improvement, and achieved more breakthrough results in scientific and technological research and development. In addition, with the continuous advancement of the artificial intelligence boom, the implementation of the concept of intelligent manufacturing in the textile machinery industry is also accelerating, resulting in some new changes in the textile machinery market.

At present, in the process of transformation and upgrading of the textile machinery industry, intelligent manufacturing has become an important starting point. At present, the textile machinery industry has made some progress in the development of intelligent manufacturing. It has not only established digital workshops such as packaging and storage, cotton spinning, and double-bed warp knitting machines, but has also successively built personalized customization for clothing production, flexible customization and production of knitwear. Chemical and other pilot demonstration production lines.

In addition, textile machinery companies and upstream and downstream companies are increasingly enthusiastic about building smart factories, and related research and construction work has gradually begun. Experts in the industry, the trend of intelligence in the textile field will be further promoted. Not only will the digitalization and intelligence level of textile machinery continue to improve, but the overall manufacturing, management and service levels of the textile industry will also be improved.

From a specific point of view, some textile machinery and textile service companies have adjusted their corporate strategies in the face of the new situation of economic and technological development, focusing on promoting the improvement of technological innovation capabilities, and oriented by technology, intelligence, brand and other elements, committed to the development of customized , differentiated advantages, and realize the shift from large-scale production to flexible intelligent manufacturing and personalized customization.

For example, based on the advantages of traditional production and processing, Qingdao textile and garment enterprises are simultaneously implementing the transformation from manufacturing to intelligentization while building their own brands, with a new mode of flexible production and personalized customization to closely follow consumers' consumption habits and Aesthetic changes. Intelligent manufacturing has not only become a breakthrough for enterprises to seize market advantages, but also an important driving force for many enterprises to speed up their transformation and upgrading.

Industry insiders said that now my country's demographic dividend continues to fade, the demand for automation is increasing, and "machine substitution" has become the mainstream. "What we need to do is to replace the demographic dividend with technological dividends." The intelligent production lines produced by textile machinery enterprises can help downstream enterprises to greatly improve the degree of automation and save a lot of labor costs.

At present, after years of technological innovation, textile machinery and equipment have achieved all-round intelligent and digital upgrades from the original stand-alone automation equipment to intelligent assembly lines, to robots and key key components. From relying on imports to going overseas, intelligent textile machinery, as a representative of "intelligent manufacturing in China", is accelerating its entry into the global market.

Looking ahead to 2019, the textile machinery industry will continue to maintain steady growth. However, subject to the adjustment of the industrial structure, the investment trend of the industry is expected to be more rational, and the growth rate of the industry scale will remain stable. However, industry competition is expected to continue to intensify in the coming year. In addition, in view of the continuous rise of labor costs in my country, the cost advantage of manufacturing has been gradually weakened, and the trend of domestic production capacity shifting to overseas will continue.

No matter how the market situation changes, the future of the textile machinery industry is still technological innovation and intelligent transformation. Therefore, textile machinery enterprises should focus on intelligent manufacturing, further accelerate R&D and innovation, continuously improve product quality, take the road of differentiated advantages, effectively meet the different needs of users, and continue to open up new markets, so as to win a broader future.
