Zhejiang Online May 13th (Zhuji Daily reporter Zhou Yuwen Zhejiang online reporter Huang Huixian correspondent Ma Gaofeng) These days, Zhuji City Datang Socks Innovation Service Complex first floor experimental workshop, 7 professors from Xi'an Engineering University and 12 The graduate students and several local experts of the socks machine gathered together to debug the parameters of the newly developed flexible and intelligent socks machine production system again and again. After several months of hard work, the technical solutions of the production system developed by them are moving from theory to practice.


"Digital way, let the traditional sock machine 'smart' up." Jin Jing, vice president of Zhejiang Textile Socks Research Institute, said that this is a high-performance, high-efficiency, low-cost production system, which has now entered debugging. In the verification and integration stage, it is expected that the prototype will be available in mid-June. After the application, more than 80,000 traditional socks machines in Zhuji are expected to be fully intelligent.


Why did the professors and students in Xi'an come to Zhuji? It is understood that Zhuji has more than 80,000 socks machines, but there are less than 200 weaving and stitching integrated machines. Most socks companies use traditional socks machines. Zhuji City Science and Technology Bureau learned in the "three services" activities that the weaving and stitching integration machine will cost several hundred thousand yuan. For the small and medium-sized socks enterprises with "small strength and thinness", the pressure on updating equipment is huge; With the high cost of labor, the shortage of employees, and the low production efficiency, it is imperative to upgrade and upgrade the traditional equipment of the socks industry. This has become the "heart disease" of many business owners.


How to spend less investment to complete the iterative upgrade of equipment, so that the majority of SMEs to keep up with the market pace? The "three service" personnel of the Zhuji Municipal Science and Technology Bureau brought the problem to the Datang Socks Innovation Service Complex, and selected the Zhejiang Textile Socks Research Institute, which is located in the comprehensive body, to take the lead in carrying out technical research.


Zhejiang Textile Socks Research Institute issued a "recruitment order" through the Union of Socks Industry Collaborative Innovation Center, and determined that Xi'an Engineering University and other professional counterpart universities participated in the project. At the same time, organized socks industry enterprises in the industry to carry out demonstrations and officially launched the automatic transformation of socks machine. Research and development. After the previous demonstration, the research team determined the project of "flexible and intelligent traditional socks machine production line transformation".


The reporter saw in the experimental workshop that the original equipment in the production process can continue to be used, but the intelligent robotic arm controlled by data is installed between the various processes, and the various processes are connected in series. At the same time, the control system also sets up two operational versions, simple and professional, according to the actual situation of the socks.


The person in charge of the Science and Technology Bureau of Zhuji City told the reporter that according to the current preliminary calculations, the cost of a transformation of a company with 100 traditional socks machines is about 100,000 yuan. It takes at least 50 employees; after the transformation, only one set of intelligence is needed. The production management system has 20 lines in series, and the number of operators can be reduced to 20, which will bring benefits to SMEs.
