□ Su Bao reporter Zhang Shuai



The textile industry is a traditional advantageous industry in Suzhou. It was known as "the Rao of silk and silk" in the eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms. With the industrial expansion and market prosperity, it won the reputation of "ten thousand pieces of clothes and quilts in the world at sunrise". The Suzhou weaving Bureau established in the Qing Dynasty is famous all over the world.



In recent years, Suzhou has formed a number of textile industry cluster centers with obvious professional characteristics, including Wujiang silk plate, Zhangjiagang woolen sweater plate and Changshu garment plate. The industrial chain covers fiber, spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, downstream clothing, home textiles and industrial textiles. At present, Suzhou textile industry is deeply implementing upgrading projects such as enterprise intelligent transformation and digital transformation, accelerating the construction of innovation platform and focusing on the construction of collaborative innovation system.



The reporter learned from Suzhou industry and information technology bureau that Suzhou's textile industry has achieved remarkable results in cultivating high-end textile clusters. The total scale is the first in China, the completeness of industrial chain layout is the first in China, and the level of technological innovation is the first in China. It has grown into a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster with global influence and competitiveness, building a new competitive advantage in the global industrial pattern.



Tackling key technologies and breaking foreign monopoly



In June 2019, Shenghong holding group from Shengze, Wujiang and Donghua University took the lead in establishing the advanced functional fiber innovation center, becoming the 13th National manufacturing innovation center in China and the first national manufacturing innovation center in Jiangsu Province, which is also the first national manufacturing innovation center led by private enterprises in China.



Over the past two years, focusing on new functional fiber materials, high-end fiber materials and textiles, cutting-edge fiber new materials, the innovation center has established a technological innovation supply system supported by key laboratories, pilot test bases and national textile testing centers, and built a collaborative innovation system of industry university research and application with in-depth cooperation, Explore and build an integrated innovation system with industrial chain layout innovation chain, make breakthroughs in a number of key core technologies and enter the stage of achievement transformation.



As the leading founder of the innovation center, Shenghong has always regarded innovation as the driving force of development, successively built a series of scientific research and innovation platforms such as national enterprise technology center and postdoctoral scientific research workstation, and constantly broke the international monopoly in the core technology in the fields of microfiber, PTT fiber and functional fiber. Especially after the outbreak last year, the research project of fiber technology and products for emergency protection has attracted national and even world attention. Shenghong joint innovation center has set up a 10 million yuan special fund for fiber material scientific research of "Shenghong · emergency support and public safety" to promote the industrialization of basic, key technologies and scientific and technological achievements of relevant disciplines. In less than one month, it received 109 projects from backbone enterprises, scientific research institutions, universities and other units, broke through 6 key technologies and formed 11 innovative production processes.



This year, Shengze launched another 200 intelligent transformation projects. Intelligent transformation and digital transformation have injected innovative vitality into the traditional textile industry, promoting the gorgeous butterfly transformation of silk textile from "fabric" to "material", and the diversified and high-end development from production and manufacturing to R & D, trade and fashion.



Including Shengze, Suzhou textile industry has formed a large number of characteristic villages and towns with "one township and one product", with two 100 billion level bases in Wujiang and Changshu. With the full integration of industrial chain, innovation chain and value chain, "Suzhou weaving" deepens cross-border e-commerce and creates a public service platform for cross-border e-commerce. The one-stop comprehensive foreign trade service attracts many buyers, and the pace towards a world-class high-end textile industry cluster is more and more steady.



Towards intelligent manufacturing and innovating industrial chain ecology



Through intelligent manufacturing, Suzhou textile industry promotes the industrial structure adjustment combining stock optimization and incremental innovation. On the one hand, it realizes equipment upgrading with intelligent transformation, on the other hand, it opens up the data flow of the whole textile industry chain, carries out the reform of business model, realizes large-scale personalized customization, improves user experience, and innovates the upstream and downstream ecology of the whole industry chain.



In the traditional impression, clothes with high wool content often encounter "static electricity" in dry winter, and pilling and shrinkage are often the labels of "sweater". A fabric with high wool content developed and produced by Suzhou Huafang group wool weaving and dyeing Co., Ltd. not only has good electrical conductivity, breaking strength, static shrinkage and other key indicators are far higher than national and industrial standards. This product is listed in the first batch of "made in Suzhou" brand certification list.



In the enterprise production workshop, the reporter saw that there was no visible accumulation of ash on the ground and no flying catkins in the air. The whole production environment was very clean. Huafang introduced high-end wool weaving and dyeing equipment. While increasing the output, Huafang continuously improved the process in the production process, and carried out a variety of special finishing such as moth proof, shrink proof, wrinkle proof, waterproof, dust-proof, brightening and so on.



Huang Zurong, chief of the production section of Huafang group wool textile weaving and dyeing Co., Ltd., introduced that the "wool polyester Serge" fabric developed and produced by them adopts excellent Australian wool raw materials. Through the continuous improvement of the early process, the fabric feels flexible and elastic; After adopting the international leading spinning, weaving and finishing process, the static shrinkage of the fabric is reduced and the dimensional stability is well maintained. At the same time, the fabric is not easy to break, which makes the ready-made clothes more durable. The use of conductive fiber also makes this fabric have better conductive and antistatic properties, and can be competent for more complex working environments.



At present, Suzhou's textile industry is at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading. A sound industrial supporting system and advanced manufacturing capacity are important foundations for the high-quality development of the textile industry. The deep integration of advanced technologies based on the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with traditional manufacturing industry provides technical support for the textile industry to improve quality and efficiency, The upgrading of consumption structure provides market space for the textile industry to move towards medium and high-end.



In the new development pattern of "double cycle", Suzhou textile industry is making continuous progress on the development road of intelligent manufacturing. Textile materials are developing from wearing to a wider field, meeting the needs of improving the quality of life and meeting special industries.



Precise support, policy guidance and seeking a new chapter



The concentration of leading enterprises in Suzhou Textile Industry and high product market share provide good conditions for industrial innovation. Shenghong group's main products are polyester yarn and printing and dyeing cloth, with a market share of 6%; Huafang group's main products all kinds of yarn market share 3%; Bosideng's main product down jacket has a market share of 40%.



Relying on the air-jet loom of Japan and the whole pulp of South Korea, Haitai textile has become a national high-tech enterprise after 17 years of struggle. It has a national postdoctoral workstation and authorizes 3 to 5 invention patents every year. It has become a leader in the industry in the fields of microwave wrinkle resistance, knife cutting prevention, moisture absorption and sweat wicking sports flour. However, Shen Li, chairman of the company, has always been sober. He believes that what can be bought with money is worthless, and enterprises must maintain the pursuit of innovation and quality.



Suzhou Enterprise Service Center once spent one year to carry out the research on textile industry clusters in our city. The research report puts forward that cultivating high-level innovation clusters is the only way for Suzhou textile industry to climb the middle and high end of the global value chain.



According to the person in charge of the center, Suzhou gathers a number of leading enterprises with strong competitiveness and industrial chain integration ability at home and abroad, and has nine 10 billion enterprises such as Hengli, Shenghong and Bosideng. The city's designated textile enterprises promote the enterprise's intelligent manufacturing level and continuously enhance the strength of innovation carriers around intelligent equipment, intelligent operation and intelligent products. For example, Dongdu group has developed an intelligent garment hanging system to realize simultaneous processing of multiple varieties and specifications through the path moving line linked by IOT technology controls.



It is understood that based on the existing policies, Suzhou will study and formulate the action plan for building a world-class high-end textile cluster in Suzhou, focusing on the "three plates" of industrial transformation, technological innovation and transformation of high-end textile clusters and the cultivation of emerging business forms, focusing on the improvement of manufacturing capacity, the introduction and training of industrial talents, the transformation of achievements of new technologies and new products, the financing of large, medium and small enterprises We will study and introduce a "1 + 3 + 6" landmark industrial policy system for high-end textile clusters from six aspects, such as the construction of excellent industrial chain and the promotion of regional brands, highlight the guidance of supporting the excellent, the strong and the new, tailor support methods for key areas and subdivided categories, give play to the role of policy as a "cow's nose", effectively and accurately help and strengthen the support for industrial development.
