Xia Lingmin, Vice President of China Textile Industry Federation, addressed the 2015 China Textile Innovation Conference Keqiao Summit. Xia Lingmin said that at present, smart manufacturing has become a global manufacturing trend, and it is also the main direction for China in the next period to advance the deep integration of the two. The textile industry should seize new opportunities for industrial development, speed up integration into the "Internet +" action, promote the integration of mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, etc. with the textile and garment industry, promote the healthy development of e-commerce, and guide textile and garment enterprises. Use the Internet to further expand domestic and foreign markets.

Xia Lingmin talked about three points on the development of “Internet + Textile” and its impact on the textile industry:

First, "Internet + Textile" creates a new industry ecology and promotes the transformation of the textile industry. From the perspective of industry pattern, the Internet and textile and garment industry are accelerating integration, Internet technology is deeply applied to every link of the textile and garment industry chain, and intelligent manufacturing accelerates development. From the perspective of innovative models, the innovation carrier is transformed from a single enterprise to an inter-domain and multi-agent innovation network. The industrial innovation alliance will speed up the formation; from the perspective of organizational form, the characteristics of miniaturization, intelligence and specialization in the production of textile and garment enterprises are increasingly prominent.

Second, "Internet + Textile" creates new opportunities and accelerates the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. “Internet+Textile” mainly covers the R&D and design network, the automation and intelligence of the production process, the digitization of the management process, the electronicization of the marketing link, and the modernization of the industrial logistics in the industrial chain. Apply to all aspects of production and operation of textile and garment enterprises to enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises. How to stimulate the "Internet +" for the textile and garment industry, the driving force of innovation, smart manufacturing will be the main goal. The advantages of smart manufacturing are reflected in four aspects: First, personalized customization can effectively combine economies of scale and personalized products and services; second, it can improve the operational efficiency of enterprises and reduce operating costs through system optimization; The formation of new business models and new models, especially the service-oriented manufacturing industry, will become more obvious; the fourth is to increase the efficiency of the use of resources. In the future, the textile and garment industry must not rely on large-scale production, large-volume production, and large-scale engineering. Instead, it must meet customer needs and even innovate customer needs to create new forms of manufacturing.

Third, "Internet + Textile" creates new thinking and enhances the company's ability to innovate. The driving force behind the development of enterprises is innovation. The ability of innovation determines the market competitiveness of enterprises. In the Internet era, technological progress, brand promotion, responsibility development, and talent team building of textile and garment companies are all closely related to the application of Internet technology. It is also due to the in-depth application of Internet technology to promote the scientific and technological progress of textile and clothing companies with each passing day, the brand influence rapidly increased, energy-saving emission reduction, recycling of resources continues to deepen. "Internet + Textile" enables companies to quickly respond to challenges, develop new markets, meet consumer demand, and rapidly increase their ability to innovate.

At the same time, there are both opportunities and challenges brought about by “Internet + Textile”. Xia Lingmin pointed out that the textile industry must fully implement the innovation-driven development strategy and focus on the following four aspects:

First, speed up the application of Internet technology and strengthen the core role of technological innovation. Technological innovation is the fundamental support for the deepening transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. In the Internet age, we must make full use of advanced information technology and information resources to accelerate scientific and technological innovation, focusing on new fiber materials, high-tech textile processing technology, energy conservation and emission reduction, and recycling of resources. , digitalization, intelligent textile equipment and terminal product development and other key areas, increase investment in innovative resources. It will focus on strengthening the application of Internet technology in the process of industrial commonality, key technology R&D and industrialization, and achieving the autonomy of core technologies and modern equipment to form the core competitiveness of the industry.

Second, promote the integration of the two levels of integration to adapt to changes in the market. In recent years, the development of Internet technology and the personalized and rapid consumer demand have led to rapid changes in the pattern of consumption of textile and apparel products, which has had a major impact on the traditional production, management and sales model of the textile industry. In order to achieve sustainable development under the new market pattern, we must actively innovate the organization of production and supply chain management, transform traditional manufacturing and circulation modes, and better adapt to changes in market consumption. At the same time, it will use Internet technology to strengthen the research and publication of popular trends and cultural creativity, enhance product development and innovation capabilities, lead consumption, and open up markets.

Third, strengthen interconnection and interoperability and effectively increase innovation efficiency. Establishing and improving the institutional mechanisms for collaborative innovation is an important way to effectively integrate innovation resources in the textile industry and improve innovation efficiency. It is necessary to continuously improve the industrial technological innovation system, fully summarize the experience of the industrial alliance, and further strengthen the market orientation of the alliance's innovation, the subjectivity of the enterprise, and the commonality of interests. Utilize Internet technology to more widely integrate government-industry research and development, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and multiple resources inside and outside the industry to collaboratively complete key technology R&D and downstream development and application to ensure that scientific and technological innovation results are quickly and effectively translated into actual productivity and market efficiency.

Fourth, encourage innovation and promote the growth of small, medium and micro enterprises. Small and medium-sized micro-enterprises are important components of the textile industry. Their innovative development is related to the overall transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. We must focus on improving the innovation support and service system for small, medium, and micro enterprises, provide information, testing, testing, training, and other support services, provide resources such as venues, equipment, and experts, as well as specialized agencies such as patent protection, technology transfer, and investment. Services, enhance the service guarantee for innovative development of small, medium and micro enterprises.
