Footwear Industry Enters The New Era Of "Robot" Production

"Robot shoe making is no longer a dream!"

　　该企业负责人表示，我市纺织鞋服行业的质量及生产环节正在加速提高，引进“机器人”式的全自动化生产线将提供技术保障。在用工成本走高的大背景下，泉州多个行业正逐步转变增长方式，以更新设备提高生产效率，实现从劳动密集型向技术密集型转变。

Reporters learned that, due to the high cost of labor, recently, many enterprises in our city began to dock with foreign high-end machinery manufacturers, and imported automated machinery in Europe and the United States.

Data show that 27 textile shoes and garment enterprises in Quanzhou Province, which are led by the enterprises of the Republic of China, have purchased more than 3000 advanced machines such as textiles, footwear and other advanced machinery in Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries, amounting to 60 million US dollars.

In the weaving industry, many have built up tens of millions of yuan to build automatic production lines.

"One weaving company official said that under the condition of tight employment, the benefits of automatic production are immeasurable.

By introducing the new concept of automation and applying the high-precision industrial robot, the automatic operation of a series of processes such as glue spraying, spray glue and pressing is realized in the shoemaking process.

Many people in the industry predict that automation will become a highlight of the footwear industry in the next few years.

Of course, to realize the fully automated production line and the establishment of a robot workstation, we need not only introduce a large number of foreign technologies, but also independently develop and update local production equipment.

Reporters learned that at present, the plumbing industry in our city is speeding up R & D automation production equipment and robots.
