Sewing Machinery Sector is "Lying Flat"?

Lying flat, 2021 Chinese Internet buzzword. It reflects a mentality that young people adopt to reject rat race. Since trying hard can't get what you want, you’d better choose to skate by and become a couch potato. The simplest examples: Japanese low desire society, the United States nesting tribe (Boomerang Kids). However, the CISMA exhibition in the same year presented the most advanced sewing technology and a wide range of sewing products. I'm sure you're wondering what is the relationship between lying flat and the sewing machine sectors. In fact, the word "lying flat" here is actually an alternative expression. It also means “the 'Why try hard when you can just skate by?” 

In 2022, the global production market faces an overlay of complexities and unprecedented operational pressure. Intermittent and repeated closures disrupt the normal rhythm of merchants' production operations throughout the year. The declining turnover cannot support the daily operating expenses of merchants, all of which intensify the blow to merchants. Higher labor costs, customized production, product quality consistency, quality tracking, environmental protection, emission reduction and energy saving are all factors that require smarter sewing equipment, all putting forward unprecedented demands for smart equipment and digital solutions.

In such a context, the degree of intelligence and digitization of sewing equipment will become higher and higher. And this intelligent, digital industry demand will start forcing companies to upgrade their production lines. In addition, the demand for so-called skilled workers and even experts are gradually decreasing, and massive layoffs are the inevitable result of technological progress. In other words, workers are forced to "lie flat", that is, the beginning of the sewing machinery field is "lying flat". For this "lie flat" for the entire sewing machinery field is beneficial, but for many production workers is extremely cruel.

At CISMA 2021, held in the same year, many intelligent and automated sewing technologies, especially automatic adjustment of stitch length, presser foot pressure, thread tension and sensing of material thickness, were well known. These products are equipped with more than one motor that can be programmed to switch according to specific needs and can automatically cut the thread, lift the presser foot and loosen the thread, thus enabling intelligent control of the sewing process.

Template machines and pattern machines for leather, feather and down products have been displayed extensively during the past show, which can identify the given patterns in an automated manner, impeccably deliver linear, right-angular, circular, curved stitches, and greatly improve the consistency and quality of the finished product. As the collection of finished products becomes more and more automated, a single operator can handle much more equipment, which noticeably enhances efficiency and reduces the reliance on skilled labors.

KINGMAX PSM-H5050&6040 Heavy Duty Pattern Sewing Machine

Just like our PSM-H5040&6040 Series machines，this series machines are the large size, extra heavy duty, thick threads, computerized pattern sewing machines, equipped with the large barrel shuttle hook and large bobbin. Dahao heavy duty pattern sewing machines control system, the touchable panel with the input punction and USB port, the linear guide feeding structure with the stable and free movement, long arm sewing machine head allows the large working space under the arm, the high needle bar stroke with the high intermediate presser foot lift (20mm), the emergency stop button for quick stop and re-start just in case, the needle cooling system and the mechanical thread trimming device (the hot knife as the option),the pattern edited software as the option. Suitable for sewing heavy duty and extra heavy duty products with the thick thread, such as heavy weight webbing, heavy leather products, lifting slings, safety belts, bullet-proof vest etc.

The analysis shows that the development of science and technology directly promotes social progress and human civilization. The development and prosperity of technology involves and affects all aspects of modern life. However, there are two sides to everything, we do not have to be alarmed and angry in the face of this "forced to lying flat". After mankind solves its own problems by developing technology, there will be more problems waiting for mankind to solve at the same time. And the important thing is that mankind is in this cycle step by step forward.

All in all, the theme for CISMA2023 has been determined as "intelligent sewing tech and digitalization solutions", and let's anticipate its arrival.
