Being named a Changzhou 'specialized, refined, and new' small and medium-sized enterprise is recognition from the government for Changzhou Hongda, and it also inspires the company to continue its commitment to original innovation. Recently, Gu Ren, chairman and general manager of Changzhou Hongda Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Changzhou Hongda"), happily said this during an interview.

　　Over the past year or so, despite the combined impact of downward economic pressure and the COVID-19 epidemic, Changzhou Hongda has used its actions to fulfill its responsibility of "small enterprises supporting large supporting facilities, small enterprises achieving great undertakings." And "specialized, refined, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises like Changzhou Hongda, which deeply cultivate professional fields and focus on key technologies, are playing a major role in promoting the high-quality development of the textile industry.

　　Ending the era of dyeing without weft straightening
　　In Gu Ren's view, the soul of "specialized, refined, and new" is innovation, and its core is technological strength.
　　"Specialized, refined, and new" is not just a simple concept, but a major project implemented by the state to improve the quality and level of development of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a comprehensive affirmation of the enterprise's economic efficiency, specialization level, refinement level, innovation ability, and business management." Gu Ren said.
　　Changzhou Hongda, which focuses on innovative research and development and insists on technological breakthroughs, has been cultivating the industry for more than 30 years and has produced good results: The company's independently developed artificial intelligence fabric image weft straightening technology has ended the era in the dyeing industry where only weft straightening existed, not weft straightening; the world's first Hawk Vision flexible intelligent weft straightening machine has achieved a major breakthrough in key technologies.
　　Dozens of well-known domestic textile and dyeing enterprises, including Zhejiang Yingfeng Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangyin Fuhui Textile Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Junlin Textile Technology Co., Ltd., are equipped with artificial intelligence fabric image weft straightening equipment. After a period of operation, these users have indicated that compared to the process limitations of traditional photoelectric weft straightening machines and ordinary image weft straightening machines on the fabric dyeing process, Changzhou Hongda's artificial intelligence fabric image weft straightening technology has reduced the equipment's requirements for the production environment, achieved precise detection of the weft texture and pattern of the fabric, and effectively solved the stubborn problem of fabric patterns being easily deformed during the dyeing process.
　　The feedback from user companies has also made Gu Ren feel very relieved. He said that the successful application of artificial intelligence fabric image weft straightening technology in the textile and dyeing industry has broken the long-standing reliance on imported equipment for high-end dyeing equipment in China. It has benefited domestic dyeing enterprises in terms of usage costs, equipment precision, and production processes, and has provided strong technical support for the transformation and upgrading of dyeing enterprises. "User companies, from equipment inspection and trial applications to current batch equipment, is not only an affirmation of Changzhou Hongda's equipment, but also an affirmation of the high-quality development of domestic intelligent equipment." Gu Ren said.
　　Deep development of the finishing machine intelligent system
　　"Specialized, refined, and new" focuses not only on the innovation of single products, but also on the comprehensive consideration of the industrial supply chain and ecological chain.
　　Changzhou Hongda's innovative research and development is not limited to a certain process, but is based on the transformation of dyeing plants' needs for intelligent and digital equipment, carrying out systematic industrial innovation.

　　In addition to weft straightening machines, Changzhou Hongda has also carried out in-depth development in the intelligent system of finishing machines. The newly launched INSHK finishing intelligent system, through big data and artificial intelligence deep learning, online detection of various process parameters, autonomous optimization and generation of finishing processes, ensures the reproducibility of the process and the success rate of new product finishing; it can also use big data, the industrial Internet, and artificial intelligence technology to build a complete finishing process execution system that connects to the enterprise cloud.

　　The Y9000 series double-layer hot air tenter finishing machine, currently the best-selling product of Yuanxin Industrial Co., Ltd., deeply integrates the Changzhou Hongda INSHK finishing intelligent system. Through this system, the Y9000 series double-layer hot air tenter finishing machine has established a complete finishing process database, completed intelligent execution and comprehensive monitoring of the finishing process, and realized comprehensive collection of data on the types and target quality of textiles, processing technology, and the operating status of the finishing machine, receiving positive feedback from users. "The INSHK finishing intelligent system achieves precise control of grammage without the need for a disc, leading the finishing process control into the era of artificial intelligence, and may become standard equipment for high-end finishing machines in the future." Chen Shaojun, chairman and general manager of Yuanxin Industrial, gave high praise to the INSHK finishing intelligent system.
　　We are trying to build an intelligent finishing machine system based on artificial intelligence technology to solve the problem of deviations easily caused by manual operation, achieving digital production from the source and building a full industrial chain digital manufacturing." Gu Ren introduced, "We are also actively carrying out intelligent transformation of dyeing machines, strengthening the digital control of dyeing machine processes and results, using digital technology and intelligent manufacturing to build a good ecological environment for the dyeing industry chain, and achieving sustainable development of the entire dyeing industry."

　　Building a new generation of digital manufacturing platform for dyeing

　　Currently, Changzhou Hongda's various online detection products for dyeing process parameters account for more than 90% of the domestic market share. As a domestic "dyeing intelligence expert," Gu Ren has focused on the application scenarios of technology in the dyeing process from the beginning, committed to building a new generation of digital manufacturing platform for dyeing using industrial Internet, artificial intelligence technology, and digital twin technology.
　　At the same time as being named a Changzhou "specialized, refined, and new" small and medium-sized enterprise in 2022, Changzhou Hongda's "Digital System for Dyeing Equipment Strategic Emerging Industry Standardization Pilot Project" was selected as a 2022 Jiangsu Provincial Strategic Emerging Industry and Service Industry Standardization Pilot Project. At the beginning of this year, Changzhou Hongda was also selected for the 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation China" New Star Enterprise List, and "Fabric Image Weft Straightening Technology Based on Artificial Intelligence" was selected for the 2021 "Science and Technology Innovation China" Leading Technology List (Equipment Manufacturing Field), the only textile machinery company in China to be listed.
　　This series of successes benefits from Changzhou Hongda's previous overall layout: from initial single-point online detection to full-system online detection, to the complete construction of a digital production process system, and the later deep integration of digital technology and artificial intelligence, Changzhou Hongda has built a complete innovation system. The simultaneous use of technology research and development and product development dual platforms has also become a key step for Changzhou Hongda to build a new generation of digital manufacturing platform for dyeing.

　　We not only need to meet the explicit needs of customers, but also to anticipate customer needs and stimulate their implicit needs. This is the main reason why we never feel lost about our technology application and product positioning. Our strategy mainly focuses on intelligent manufacturing, and we have already laid a solid technological foundation and have a clear layout for application." Gu Ren is full of confidence.
　　Gu Ren believes that by cultivating the segmented market, focusing on technological innovation, honing internal skills, polishing tools, enhancing core competitiveness, and steadily improving every link in the industrial chain, an unbreakable market competitiveness can be forged.
