Apparel Industry Demand Analysis

As the largest garment manufacturer in China, the company constantly uses high-tech and advanced equipment to upgrade its industrial base and improve product quality. It has successively adopted the "starch-free process" to develop "HP cotton non-iron shirt" and "VP cotton non-iron shirt", filling the domestic market and technical gaps, and has won five awards from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Quality Supervision Bureau and the State Environmental Protection Administration It was awarded the title of "National Key New Product" jointly by ministries and commissions. The company's technology center was recognized as a national technology center by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Customs and the State Administration of Taxation. In 2004, Youngor Group was rated as "China's Informatization Benchmarking Enterprise" and "China's Top 100 Informatization Enterprises".

Driven by the goal of "creating an international brand", the company not only keeps improving in clothing manufacturing, but also hopes to continue to seek development and improvement in manufacturing technology and digital and intelligent development. However, the overall intelligence level still needs to be improved, and the specific problems are concentrated in:

It is worth noting that the data collection in the textile industry is recognized as a "blind box" in the industry, which has great technical difficulties, and the "private" protocol brings great resistance to the network data collection of equipment.

5G data acquisition system architecture diagram of textile industry

The key equipment in the industrial information data acquisition system includes but is not limited to: terminal textile machine, JENET 5G intelligent industrial gateway, 5G base station, MEC edge server/UPF, firewall, cloud platform/IDC/data server, NMS gateway management system, Manage workstations, large-screen servers, and integrated displays. The system architecture is shown in the following figure:

In the above picture, the data collection between Juki clothing machine and industrial gateway needs to be realized through specific interface development. The data is sent to the platform SaaS management software through OPC UA/MQTT/Http and other transmission protocols. After system analysis, Presented on the integrated display.

Device management for SaaS layer application presentation

In terms of platform presentation, relying on the underlying data collection and systematic analysis based on equipment status information, the overall presentation of equipment point inspection information, fault information, and equipment operation-related parameters provides an intuitive visual picture for background monitoring. The overall system diagram is as follows:
