In the workshop of an Indonesian printing and dyeing manufacturer, the light white grey cloth is pre-treated, dyed, mercerated, and sorted. The fabrics with different colors and distinct patterns are inspected and rolled, and eventually become clothing, shoes, hats and other textiles that can be seen everywhere in life. Few people know that the dyeing machines, shaping machines and other mechanical equipment used in the process come from Sanji Precision Technology (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. in Chancheng District, Foshan.

printing and dyeing industry is the most intuitive process to enhance the added value of textile products and is also the central link of the textile industry chain. In recent years, affected by changes in market demand and environmental policies, the printing and dyeing industry is transforming from traditional models to intelligent manufacturing and green manufacturing, which has also put forward higher requirements for the upstream printing and dyeing equipment manufacturing links.

As a group company focusing on the research and development and production of dyeing and finishing equipment such as dyeing machines and shaping machines, keeping up with market demand is a question that Sanjie Precision has been answering.

Over the past decade, Sanqi Precision has continuously expanded its business territory, from only manufacturing dyeing machines to creating dyeing and finishing equipment production lines, to building digital platforms and smart workshops, providing intelligent solutions for dyeing factories. "It can be said that from point to line to surface, taking multi-dimensional market demand as the starting point, and participating in diversified competition." Zhang Weiwei, secretary of the board of directors of Three Tech Precision, told Southern Finance All-Media Reporter. Today, Sanjie Precision products have been exported to Southeast Asia and Central Asia markets, accounting for more than 5% of the global market, and more than 1,000 units of equipment are operating stably overseas.

Facing the wave of the times, the Three Tech Precision embraces new technologies while calming down and investing in R&D, and opens up a new track for digitalization.

is oriented towards technology research and development

The "Textile Industry 14th Five-Year Plan" issued this year clearly states that the textile industry should base itself on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and further promote the high-quality development of the industry's "technology, fashion, and green". This also sets the tone for the future development of the textile industry.

For a long time, my country's textile industry has shown labor-intensive characteristics. For example, printing and dyeing factories are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, with a small scale, long delivery cycle and unstable. At the same time, the textile industry is the second largest industry in the world with water consumption, and the pollution caused by wastewater and waste gas emissions is very serious. In recent years, my country has begun to promote environmental protection rectification by making large-scale efforts. The combination of multiple factors such as environmental protection rectification and overcapacity has brought the textile industry to a reshuffle.

A lot of pressure is naturally transmitted to upstream equipment manufacturers. How to improve the efficiency and stability of dyeing and finishing equipment while reducing production energy losses and pollution emissions has become the main demand of printing and dyeing enterprises.

"This is also the fundamental reason why we can get through the reshuffle. The printing and dyeing industry has a large demand for environmental protection and energy conservation, so it also encourages our equipment manufacturers to continuously optimize products and reduce energy consumption." said Zhang Weiwei, . Since the decision to independently develop printing and dyeing equipment, the three technology precision has begun to consider energy conservation and environmental protection issues. Taking the low-energy gas-liquid dyeing machine pioneered by Sanji Precision in 2014 as an example, this equipment has the characteristics of energy saving and high efficiency, reaching the international leading level and has a very high market share.

In fact, the printing and dyeing industry is even more ill-fated. Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics shows that from January to December 2020, the main business revenue of large-scale printing and dyeing enterprises was 254.132 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.15%. By the end of 2020, the capacity utilization rate of printing and dyeing enterprises basically returned to the same level in 2019, but the business and profit situation of enterprises declined significantly.

Previously, after the domestic printing and dyeing market demand was saturated, my country's printing and dyeing industry entered the international market and became a world processing workshop. However, in the context of the repeated global epidemic, the impact of inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, order withdrawals, etc. is even more serious, which conveys a clear signal that the printing and dyeing industry has entered the stage of stock competition.

Industry insiders told Southern Finance All Media reporters that in the face of changes in the consumer market, printing and dyeing companies are usually more conservative about production investment.The cold winter seems to be coming, but the precision of the three technologies still demonstrates the calm attitude of leading enterprises and will continue to invest a lot of money in technology research and development.

"Technical breakthroughs have taken us to a new level, but technology requires time to settle." Although the cycle of printing and dyeing equipment from R&D to promotion is long, Zhang Weiwei firmly believes that if we continue to invest in R&D, there will always be a day of fruitful fruit. At present, Sanjie Precision has nearly 1,000 employees and more than 150 R&D personnel, and more than 30 million yuan is invested annually for technical research and development. In 2021, the total output value of the three major modules of Sanjie Precision Dyeing Machine, Clasing Machine, and Continuous Organizing Long Vehicles increased steadily by more than 20% year-on-year.

"For traditional industries, it is normal for the market to experience fluctuations, and enterprises must learn to adapt quickly. Doing steadily now will help improve their competitiveness in the next stage." Zhang Weiwei said.

Transformation into a digital technology enterprise

In 2020, Sanji Precision and Advantech New Group established a subsidiary, Foshan Technology and Zhilian Technology Co., Ltd., which officially entered the digital design and technical services of the textile printing and dyeing industry. In the same year, Sanji Precision won 23.9 acres of industrial land in Chancheng, Foshan, and planned to invest 300 million yuan to build Sanji Intelligent Equipment Industrial Park as a smart equipment manufacturing base for the printing and dyeing equipment. It is not a whim to open up a new track by

. Three Tech Precision has already begun to transform into a digital technology enterprise earlier.

In 2014, Sanji Precision and South China University of Technology established a joint laboratory to lay the foundation for the digital transformation of enterprises. In 2017, Sanjie Precision established an intelligent manufacturing department to research and develop software related to cloud platforms and cloud factories in the industry, and independently developed and controlled computers for data collection.

In 2019, Sanji Precision pioneered the research and development of digital dyeing plants and cloud service platforms in the industry, connecting the "information island", which can enable downstream customers to achieve the interconnection of full-process information, shorten the delivery cycle, and reduce production energy consumption.

According to Zhang Weiwei, through cloud platforms and digital intelligent dyeing plants, enterprises can integrate internal R&D, planning, procurement and other links to achieve the interconnection of full-process information. At the same time, through intelligent management and decision-making, the coordination level of various departments can be improved, the delivery cycle is shortened by 50%, production energy consumption is reduced by more than 15%, and the overall efficiency of the factory is significantly improved.

"For the textile printing and dyeing industry, the transformation of the Internet and consumption model will drive changes in the production end from downstream to upstream. In other words, it forces the upstream production link to be reconstructed." Zhang Weiwei told Southern Finance All-Media Reporter.

The power from the consumer market is forcing the textile industry to transform and upgrade. On the one hand, consumers' personalized and customized needs are more prominent; on the other hand, since the outbreak of the epidemic, phenomena such as backlog of inventory in the clothing industry have often appeared, and "small orders quickly return" has become an operational trend. Both have put forward higher requirements on the stability and delivery cycle of raw material supply, and the textile printing and dyeing industry has entered a stage of accelerated equipment upgrades and growth in digital demand.

Zhang Weiwei believes that the development of the printing and dyeing industry towards digitalization and intelligence is the general trend, and the three-tech precision also seized this opportunity in a timely manner. At present, the Sanji Industrial Cloud Platform has connected more than 1,000 devices to provide services to more than 30 downstream customers.

Last year, Sanji Precision also planned to promote the digital transformation of the textile printing and dyeing industry cluster, and took the lead in participating in the Foshan textile printing and dyeing industry cluster project, connecting hundreds of downstream enterprises, playing the role of leading enterprises, and driving the digital and intelligent transformation of downstream enterprises. It was selected by the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology as the first batch of digital transformation projects for small and medium-sized enterprises to join together.

How to take the next digital path? Sanjie Precision has formulated a development strategy for digital transformation and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. It is necessary to build an advanced digital benchmark factory in the industry and quickly replicate and promote it in the industry. At the same time, it is established a big data platform center for the dyeing and finishing industry, complete the goal of connecting hundreds of dyeing and finishing enterprises, achieve the goal of 10,000 equipment on the cloud platform, and build a global textile industry digital exchange center.
