China'S Textile Machinery Industry Usher In Automation Era

Our country

According to the data released by the National Bureau of statistics, in 2009, textile machinery continued its downward trend in 2008, with slow growth, coupled with competition from foreign products and the impact of the global financial crisis, Chinese textile machinery enterprises are facing severe challenges.

By the first quarter of 2010, the textile machinery industry fell slightly, down by about 5%~10%, an increase of over 70% over the same period last year.

Export and domestic demand

The decline in the textile machinery industry has had a certain impact on the supply of automation products. Information from the National Bureau of statistics shows that the total market size of automation products in China's textile machinery industry in 2009 was close to 2 billion 400 million yuan, reaching 2 billion 390 million yuan, down 7% from 2008.

But in the first quarter of 2010, the textile machinery industry automation product market grew by 70.5% compared to the same period last year, a decrease of 9%.

As far as textile machinery products are concerned, the market capacity of traditional textile machinery with a low technical content has been greatly reduced, and the textile machinery products with high efficiency, energy saving and high added value have been greatly improved, which has brought a certain market for automation products.

Distribution of automation products in textile machinery industry

The survey also shows that the larger the scale of textile machinery manufacturing enterprises, the wider the product coverage, the higher the level of automation and information, the more automation products they use.

Automation is the only way to improve the performance of mechanical products and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. With the development and application of computer networks and power electronics, its importance is increasingly prominent. Its application in textile machinery will be more and more extensive.

The survey results show that more high-end textile machinery manufacturers have gone from the initial application of PLC, inverter, servo and other single automation products to the demand for comprehensive application of multi automation products and equipment network digital integrated manufacturing.

Most of the companies surveyed said that in the first quarter of 2010, the textile machinery industry had fewer new products, but in the second half of this year, new products R & D investment is expected to increase.

However, most of the enterprises in the past have made technological improvements or upgrading before they continue in software and machinery. Considering the reliability and stability of the products, they basically do not change the configuration and brand of automated products.

The survey shows that the brand coverage of automation products used in the textile machinery industry is very wide. From SIEMENS, ABB, MITSUBISHI to Begala, Delta and Lenz, almost all automatization manufacturers can find their own users in textile machinery enterprises.

The questionnaire also showed that at the same time, more than three automation brands were used by the same textile machinery company at the same time. The questionnaire from Shanghai Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. showed that the brand of the automation products they used involved at least 8 brands, such as SIEMENS, ABB, Begala, Feinikesi, MITSUBISHI, Schneider, OMRON, Fuji motor and so on.

The smaller textile machinery enterprises, such as Changzhou Tong and Textile Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., also include at least three brands such as MITSUBISHI, Taida and Lentz.
