Unlike the past emphasis on scale, technological innovation is now the driving force behind the development of the textile industry.
　　After the trials and growth of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the goal of a "strong textile nation" has been initially achieved. China's textile industry has become one of the five manufacturing industries in the world with advanced technology. At the recently held expanded meeting of the Standing Council of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, the "Development Outline of the Textile Industry for the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" was officially released. The "Outline" clearly lists "strengthening the strategic support capacity of technological innovation" as a key task for the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan development, and "intelligent manufacturing in the dyeing and finishing industry" is among the key industry technologies that urgently need to be broken through.
　　Dyeing and finishing, as a unique and highly-focused link in the textile industry chain, has always focused on "green" and "intelligent" development. At the recently concluded ITMA ASIA + CITME 2020, many new products in the dyeing and finishing industry were released, attracting widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry. Among them, Changzhou Hongda Technology (Group), known as the "intelligent expert in dyeing and finishing", released several new intelligent product series, which received affirmation from a group of leaders including Secretary Gao Yong of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, becoming the most eye-catching "star enterprise" at this textile machinery exhibition.

　　Recalling the first day of the textile machinery exhibition, amidst the dazzling exhibits and overwhelming topics, our new media editorial team embarked on the "battle" of first-line interviews. When we arrived at the Changzhou Hongda booth, the first thing that caught our eye was a large machine covered with a "red veil", which is the Hawk Vision flexible intelligent warping machine, globally launched by Changzhou Hongda at this textile machinery exhibition.

　　Changzhou Hongda specializes in the research and development of online digital control products for textile dyeing and finishing. Its developed online detection products for dyeing and finishing process parameters account for more than 90% of the domestic market. For 30 years, the people of Changzhou Hongda have been committed to innovation. In 2020, Changzhou Hongda was awarded by the China Textile Machinery Association to establish the "Image Warp and Weft Machine Product R&D Center" for the Chinese textile industry. Now, with significant breakthroughs and innovations in warp and weft machines, it has undoubtedly attracted much attention.
　　Before the global launch, this mysterious new product attracted many viewers to stop and watch, all of whom were industry insiders and outsiders closely following Changzhou Hongda. With the arrival of the leaders from the China National Textile and Apparel Council, the mysterious new product finally revealed its true form.
　　The Hawk Vision flexible intelligent warping machine launched by Changzhou Hongda Technology this time is developed by the "Hawk Vision" brand, relying on its strong European technical background and Changzhou Hongda's profound technical research and development capabilities. The developed "full-width scanning warp and weft technology" has made original innovations in the warping mechanism, fundamentally changing the existing warping methods of warping machines, solving the industry problems of S-bend, W-bend, hanging feet, and wavy texture warping of textiles. It is particularly suitable for correcting the weft bends and weft arcs of knitted and woven textiles with low tension, large weft angles, and irregular patterns, ushering in a new chapter in the history of warping machine development.

The gathering of industry leaders from various fields highlights the technological content and milestone significance of Changzhou Hongda Technology's Hawk Vision flexible intelligent warping machine for the intelligent development of the dyeing and finishing industry.

　　Gu Ren, chairman of Changzhou Hongda, proudly stated in an exclusive interview with our reporter: "Currently, only China can achieve this technology, and only Changzhou Hongda in China can achieve it." Gu Ren said: "From the beginning of our business 30 years ago, we have clearly defined our development goals. For more than 30 years, Changzhou Hongda has always kept pace with advanced control technology, persisted in innovation, and adhered to its own path. Today, our warp and weft machines have reached the industry-leading level and have won the first prize of scientific and technological progress from the China National Textile and Apparel Council. This original technology has ended the era where the dyeing and finishing industry only had warping but no weft insertion. The latest Hawk Vision flexible intelligent warping machine will undoubtedly become a technological benchmark in this field again."
　　Leaders including Gao Yong and Wang Tiankai showed great interest in the new machine after the red cloth was unveiled. After Gu Ren's explanation, they stayed and asked detailed questions for a long time before leaving. Gao Yong said: "As an industry leader, Changzhou Hongda has always focused on the innovation and upgrading of image technology in the textile warping field. The new product launched this time has an industry-leading role in terms of technological advancement. We hope that Changzhou Hongda will increase its promotion efforts and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of China's textile industry."
　　It is reported that the Hawk Vision flexible intelligent warping machine has been tested and operated in many user enterprises and has achieved very good results, receiving positive feedback from users. On the day of the textile machinery exhibition, many targeted inquiries were received after the press conference, and many user enterprises expressed their intention to purchase.


　　INSHK Shaping Intelligent System
　　The "standard configuration" system for the "deep intelligence" of dyeing plants

　　As an "intelligent expert in dyeing and finishing", Changzhou Hongda has made significant achievements in the field of intelligent textile dyeing and finishing with decades of technological accumulation. At this textile machinery exhibition, Changzhou Hongda's newly launched new generation of finishing machine process execution system (INSHK shaping intelligent system) based on artificial intelligence technology also became a focus.

　　Gu Ren told reporters: "At present, most finishing machines in dyeing plants only play the role of creating an environment, but they do not monitor the state of the fabric during the finishing process or the finishing effect. This means that for some special fibers and functional finishing, or fabrics with high requirements, finishing often relies on the experience of operators, which is highly subjective. Due to the inability to achieve standard quantitative evaluation, the final effect is uncertain, so some enterprises may need to finish twice, reducing production efficiency." Changzhou Hongda's "INSHK shaping intelligent system" fundamentally solves this problem. Based on the industrial internet, big data, and artificial intelligence technology, it can make independent decisions on the finishing process and form process formulas, thereby improving the efficiency of dyeing plants.
　　As we all know, finishing machines and dyeing machines are the main equipment in dyeing plants. To achieve intelligent dyeing and finishing, "process digitalization" must first be achieved. The finishing machine equipped with Changzhou Hongda's INSHK shaping intelligent system can not only intelligently execute and comprehensively monitor the finishing process, but also establishes a finishing process database for enterprises.
　　It is reported that the Y9000 series double-layer hot air stenter, which was the focus of Yuanxin Industrial's display at this textile machinery exhibition, deeply integrates this system from Changzhou Hongda.
　　HAWKVISION launched a new generation of AI-based finishing machine process execution system, achieving deep intelligent integration with the Yuanxin Y9000 series double-layer hot air stenter. This system comprehensively collects data on textile types, target quality, processing technology, and stenter operating status. A complete finishing process database has been developed and designed for intelligent execution and comprehensive monitoring of the finishing process. Changzhou Hongda Technology Group Chairman Gu Ren stated that years of cooperation with Yuanxin Industrial has allowed him to truly feel the resonance between the two companies in terms of product innovation concepts and practices.

　　It is understood that the stenter is also equipped with the HV-PC high-precision density online measurement and control system, the HV-GM200 intelligent fabric weight online detection instrument, and the fabric falling width online measurement and control system, all from Changzhou Hongda.
　　The HV-PC high-precision density online measurement and control system adopts internationally leading digital image processing, pattern recognition, and information fusion technologies. Using an industrial camera as the detection component, it comprehensively and real-time detects the weft density of fabrics in motion and adjusts the weft density in real-time based on the weft density detection results to achieve the ideal state, ensuring high-quality textiles. This system overcomes the shortcomings of photoelectric detection methods and ordinary image detection methods, greatly improving product quality and reducing quality complaints; reducing worker workload and lowering the requirements for the skills and experience of operators to avoid errors; strictly controlling vehicle speed to reduce energy consumption and production costs; and greatly improving product competitiveness and corporate brand image. This product technology has been granted a national invention patent.

　　The HV-GM200 intelligent fabric weight online detection instrument achieves direct online weight detection, real-time continuous online recording and storage of fabric weight, and real-time detection of the width of the falling fabric. It is networked with the density detection overfeeding system to directly build a closed-loop target weight control. The system greatly improves the consistency of fabric weight, significantly reduces the number of times manual sampling and weighing are performed, reduces fabric waste caused by sampling, and reduces worker workload; it also reduces the large-area color difference at the holes during printing caused by holes formed by weighing during pre-setting. At the same time, it helps dyeing plants solve the problem of weft arc caused by excessive falling fabric tension, ensuring product quality during setting. This product, released for the first time, solves the online detection of key quality indicators that have long needed to be addressed in the industry.
　　
　　INSHK finishing intelligent system, intelligent image flower and weft machine, knitting finishing automatic online weight measurement and control system, circular screen defect detection and automatic matching system, hydrogen peroxide online detection system, intelligent fabric inspection machine… Changzhou Hongda has been deeply involved in the dyeing and finishing industry, focusing on intelligent development, and has become an important participant and leader in the high-quality development of the textile dyeing and finishing industry.
