Intelligent manufacturing and full-process control is the trend of the technology development

- Interview with Gu Ping, Vice President of China Textile Machinery Association

It is the fifth edition of the combined show, ITMA ASIA + CITME, between China Textile Machinery Association and CEMATEX. The organization of the
exhibition this year shows that the exhibition brand has been well recognized,enjoying over 100 enterprises more than the previous edition while 30% of the exhibitors are newcomers.

At present, the exhibits submitted by enterprises show that most products focus on serialization and stock transformation,and a lot of technologies are remarkable. For example, in terms of serialization, the equipment technologies in all processes are increasingly extending to automation and serialization,highlighting its effects on labor reduction and efficiency improvement.

Moreover, for the stock of 120 million spindles of yarns, many companies have introduced a more economical transformation program: automatic tube sorting and packing machine, compact spinning transformation, automatic doffing carriage and so on.

In the context of the global economic downturn, what businesses are more concerned in the purchase of equipment are benefits. Due to the changing market demands and strict customer orders, the technology and quality of home-made special equipment have been upgraded very fast over the years, developing many international-leading products,which will also be reflected in the exhibition.

It is very difficult for the current textile industry to develop subversive technology, however, there are some agreeable development trends, such as intelligent manufacturing and full-process control. During the exhibition, the exhibits cover six intelligent production lines, including spinning, chemical filament,knitting, automatic dyeing and printing,automatic non-woven fabrics and garments.
