China promovează transformarea digitală a industriei textile
Under a plan jointly released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and five other government departments on 18 June, over 70% of the key operations of textile enterprises at or above a designated scale are to be fully digitalised by 2027.
Specific measures include driving research and development relating to the application to textiles of crucial digital and smart technologies such as big data analytics and cloud computing, and promoting intelligent automation in the production of garments and home textiles. Integration of the "5G plus industrial internet" approach will be deepened and the establishment of industrial internet platforms serving small and medium‑sized enterprises will be encouraged.
The plan also focuses on integrating artificial intelligence technology with textile industry knowhow to optimise production processes. Steps will be taken to develop mass customisation, increase flexible production capacity, expand the service‑oriented extension model, and strengthen whole‑process digital management.
The textile industry will be guided towards a high‑end, intelligent, green and integrated development trajectory.
