The modern knitting industry is one of the four traditional industries with unique advantages in Nanchang City. In recent years, Nanchang’s modern knitwear industry has seized the spotlight in the digital era and stimulated new vitality in traditional industries through digital technologies such as “Internet +” and “5G +”, and the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry has entered the “fast lane”. The series of reports “Projects are the first to work hard and strive against time to win the economy” was broadcast on the 18th “Seizing the Digital Trend Nanchang City’s Modern Knitting Industry Accelerates Upgrading”.
In the “5G+ Smart Workshop” of Nanchang Zhongtuo Garment Co., Ltd., 12 production lines and more than 300 workers are operating at full power with the support of the intelligent hanging system.
Liu Liang, production director of the smart factory of Nanchang Zhongtuo Garment Co., Ltd., told reporters that the equipment in front of him is an intelligent interconnected suspension system. Multiple pieces cut from one piece can be completed on the suspension. One process after another, the finished product is directly produced. Coupled with these intelligent robots, production efficiency can be increased by 25%.
As a large-scale knitting company, Zhongtuo Garments has invested 18 million yuan in technical transformation funds in recent years, greatly improving production efficiency, significantly enhancing market competitiveness, and continuously receiving overseas orders. Liu Liang told reporters that the company is currently rushing to produce 950,000 high-end German velvet casual pants orders from American customers, which must be delivered within 45 days. The “5G+” smart system applied by the company allows customers to understand the production status at any time.
Liu Liang said that through the smart system, he can monitor the production progress in real time, what the production capacity is, how much remains to be completed, etc.
It is understood that after the company’s transformation, the orders received have exceeded 300 million yuan. The company is currently planning a new super smart chemical factory, by which time the production capacity will be further expanded and the output value will be doubled.
While helping enterprises to increase production capacity through “5G+”, Nanchang’s knitting and textile enterprises have seized the current opportunities of new retail, new business formats and new models of live broadcast e-commerce to further expand the radiation of corporate brands.
In the live broadcast department of Nanchang Liangliang Industrial Co., Ltd., five live broadcast rooms are opened at the same time. The anchors explain their own products in a targeted live broadcast based on the attributes of live broadcast platforms such as Douyin, Tmall, and Kuaishou. The reporter learned that Liangliang Industrial empowers corporate brands through digital means and greatly expands market sales.
Wu Lingyan, director of the live broadcast department of Nanchang Liangliang Industrial Co., Ltd., told reporters that live broadcast sales are not only available at Liangliang’s headquarters, but also extend to Hangzhou, including new e-commerce, and the company has a presence. During major promotions such as “618” and “Double Eleven”, the company’s merchandise transaction volume has reached more than 20 million yuan per month, and the company’s goal this year is 150 million yuan.
While traffic turns into sales, it also puts forward higher requirements for delivery. The reporter learned that after consumers place orders, all orders will be sent directly to the company’s AGV smart warehouse. The system will automatically issue instructions and assign corresponding AGV transport vehicles to transport the goods to the sorting center for packaging and delivery.
Shu Huai, manager of the digital technology department of Nanchang Liangliang Industrial Co., Ltd., said that such a large warehouse requires 65 people for normal warehouse operations, but now after installing this AGV system, the number of warehouse personnel has been reduced. To 20, the delivery speed has also changed from 10,000 orders per day to more than 25,000 orders. For example, during the “Double Eleven” promotion, more than 45,000 orders were able to be shipped out of the warehouse, and the accuracy rate was infinitely close to 100%.
A large number of digital scenario applications have helped Liangliang Industrial seize more shares in its development. At present, the company has cooperated with leading companies in the field of e-commerce live streaming across the country. At the same time, its share of the pillow category on e-commerce platforms exceeds 70%.
