Dye House Smart Solutions - Taiwan's Textile Innovation

領先全球的智慧自動化染整

在全球化學纖維市場，台灣排名第三，機能布料市占率更高達七成，原因除了上下游供應鏈完整、研發推陳出新，還有一個最重要的關鍵製程—染整。流亞科技的自動化方案，紡織業的染整製程，從古早的「湯匙仔師」（手動調配染劑）演進到單機自動化及產線機聯網，不止省水省染料，更讓生產現場乾淨得像辦公室。

　　流亞科技於1993創立，流亞科技董事長陳暐仁表示，創業最初是5個工程師，具備軟硬體、機電整合的背景，有志一同想要創業，但礙於旋轉門條款2年內不能從事染整產業，因此從控制器核心出發，進而切入更各產業工業電腦應用。

　　陳暐仁坦言，當初大家本來不想再做染整業，但因朋友請託做出的染色註記計量系統，做好後效益非超高，透過註記標準化，對產業幫助非常大，成為全球染整產業的必備產品，到現在還是熱賣。透過以控制器為核心優勢，發展智慧製造總體解決方案，改變傳統產業固有模式，進而為客戶打造智慧生產模式和ESG解決雲端方案。

    Logic Art was founded in 1993, Logic Art's Chairman Tony Chen said that the venture was initially five engineers, with hardware and software, mechanical and electrical integration of the background, the desire to start a business together, but due to the terms of the revolving door can not be engaged in the dyeing and finishing industry within two years, so the core from the controller, and then cut into the more industrial computer applications in various industries.

    Tony frankly said that at the beginning, we originally did not want to do the dyeing and finishing industry, but because of a friend entrusted to make the dyeing registration measurement system, after doing a good job of non-super high efficiency, through the standardization of registration, the industry is very helpful, and become the global dyeing and finishing industry must have products, and now is still a hot seller. By taking the controller as the core advantage, we develop the total solution of intelligent manufacturing, change the inherent mode of traditional industry, and then create intelligent production mode and ESG cloud solution for our customers.

    Taiwan's textile industry boomed in the 1970s, when it accounted for 30% of total exports and was the top export industry. However, due to the transfer of industries to overseas production, Taiwan needs to move towards a “high-tech” textile industry through “functionality,” “environmental protection,” and “sustainability.

   Tony pointed out that the domestic and foreign output value of Taiwan's textile supply chain exceeds one trillion dollars, contributing to the 4th place in foreign exchange ranking, of which 70% of the global market share of the functional textile products, the 3rd place in the global rankings of chemical fibers, and the overall ranking of the textile exports for the 8th place in the world. In the global textile industry, Taiwan has a complete upstream and downstream supply chain, excellent machinery and equipment, mechanical and electrical integration strength, and R&D and innovation capabilities, creating a highly competitive industrial cluster.

    The textile manufacturing process can be divided into raw materials, spinning, weaving, dyeing, garments, packaging, branding, and back-end sales. In the textile dyeing and finishing process, Logic Art provides automated solutions to achieve stable quality, one-time success rate, and on-time delivery, which allows the textile industry to differentiate its dyeing products and is an important part of increasing value-added.

      The three strengths of the Logic Art brand are R&D innovation, customized innovation, and global localized service, which has led to the corporate slogan, “We define the One,” which is used to define customized solutions with customers, such as textile stockholder Wang Ru-hung, who is one of its customers. The drip machine built in 2001 has a global patent and is the most competitive equipment in the world. The high-precision dosage process allows the dyes to be adjusted with an error of less than 0.02 grams.

    Logic Art solves the pain points of every stage of dyeing and finishing. When a piece of cloth is to be dyed, the first step is to find out the color process, and the laboratory is integrated with a global color company. After the laboratory has found the preparation, the color is dripped out with a liquid-dripping machine, and all the dyeing machines are controlled by computers, which also supports the dye-chemical registration and feeding system, which is completely Inhumanized. This eliminates the problems of inaccuracy and inefficiency of the “spoon-master” (manually mixing dyes) in the early years, and makes the dyeing and finishing environment cleaner.

    The process of automation and digital transformation also extends to the ESG level. Dyeing and finishing sites can be transformed from stand-alone machines to machine networks, and through the digital control center “IDCC system”, ESG carbon inventories can be carried out, and after the data from all the facilities is collected and visualized, data analysis can be carried out for making intelligent decisions, and the subsequent provision of the textile cloud platform's SAAS service also enables data-based energy management.

    As the textile industry shifted to Southeast Asia, in 1998, Logic Art set up a company in Thailand, which is a textile predecessor to Thailand, combined with five equipment manufacturers to form an alliance to fight for the world. 2019 due to the trade relations between China and the U.S., the industry has further shifted to Vietnam, and in order to create awareness, with the Ministry of Economic Affairs' international marketing subsidy program, and combined with the alliance experience of Thailand, we have launched the “Great Leap Forward in Vietnam” plan, including: dyeing and finishing machine factory, dyeing machine factory, fixing machine, dyes factory, and finishing factory. The “A team”, which includes: dyeing and finishing machine, dyeing machine, sizing machine, dyestuff factory, and finishing factory, has formed a successful connection with the official Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS).

    Just like the bicycle industry to form the textile industry Vietnam's “A Team” concept, the textile industry also gathered to fight, the team together to help plan, Taiwan's overall solution to the table, in order to resist the red supply chain, Vietnam “A Team” is very successful, and carry forward the “A Team” also copied to India.

    Tony admitted that Logic Art has been operating in India for more than 20 years. However, in view of the trade war between China and the US, the red supply chain in India may impact the competitiveness of the industry, so LASIK has decided to re-focus its business strategy through brand repositioning and digital marketing. In June of this year, 26% of Indian customers visited Lumia's booth at the exhibition.

      Subsequently, the India-Taiwan Representative Office also invited LASOTEK to focus on smart manufacturing and share its experience. In October, a delegation from the United Indian Trade Union (CII) visited “A Team” in the textile industry, and after successfully connecting with the officials and spreading through word-of-mouth in the community, it constructed a demonstration site in India with accumulated orders exceeding US$3 million, which was a great encouragement to “A Team”.
