After many years of development, domestic-made shuttleless looms have continuously improved their technical level. At present, the market share of domestic looms has accounted for almost 10%. How do users evaluate domestic looms? The statistical results of the questionnaire on the use of the "Haifu Cup" looms provide us with answers.

Obvious user evaluation of domestic equipment is only "general"

After years of continuous efforts by loom manufacturing companies, the technological progress of domestic looms can be said to be obvious to all. However, in the questionnaire survey, only 22% of the companies considered the domestic looms to be “good” and “very good”, while 97% of the companies considered the imported looms to be “good” and “very good”, indicating that the looms produced by users in China are Imported looms still have a considerable gap.

According to the statistical results of the survey questionnaire, the user's overall impression of domestic looms was evaluated as 78% of the “general” and only 19% of the respondents answered “good.” Only two users considered the domestic looms to be “very good”. There are only two users who have evaluated the overall impression of imported looms as "general", and the ratio of "good" and "very good" is 97%, of which 73% of respondents answered "good" and answered "very good." Accounted for 24%. It can be seen that the overall impression of most users on domestic looms is “general” and the overall impression of imported looms is “good”.

After years of continuous efforts by loom manufacturers, the technological progress of domestic looms, especially rapier looms, can be said to be obvious to all. The domestic rapier loom has been through the initial technology introduction cooperation and has been digested and re-innovated for many years. The models have evolved from the simple type, the introduction of cooperation type to the high-tech type of today's technological innovation, and the level of technology has been continuously improved and gradually matured. Domestic high-end rapier looms have a strong competitive edge in terms of cost performance and are gradually replacing imported brands. Domestic air-jet looms have also made significant progress. However, in the questionnaire survey, only 22% of companies believe that domestic equipment is “good” and “very good,” indicating that there is still a considerable gap between Chinese loom and imported looms.

Where exactly is the gap? From the comparison chart of advantages and problems between domestic looms and imported looms, it can be seen that the strengths of domestically produced equipment are almost always the weaknesses of imported equipment, and vice versa. The main advantages of domestic looms are focused on reasonable prices, cheap parts, good after-sales service, and easy maintenance. The main advantages of the imported looms are focused on good manufacturing quality, high degree of automation, high reliability, and ability to meet process requirements.

In the evaluation of merits, it can be seen that the prices of home-made looms and accessories are most liked by users. To a certain extent, domestically-made equipment is reasonable in price, and there is no huge profits; but from another perspective, blindly competing at low prices may cause equipment manufacturing quality to decline and the configuration to be simplified. Instead, it will damage the image of equipment manufacturers and affect companies. development of. In terms of after-sales service and maintenance, domestic looms enterprises have the natural advantages of the region and culture, understand the needs of users, and establish a good relationship with users. Many companies have a huge service team and the service is very timely and thoughtful. In contrast, some imported equipment is difficult to operate, and the structure is complex and sophisticated. In the event of a failure, maintenance is inconvenient.

In terms of automation, reliability, manufacturing quality, and brand trust, domestic looms are far lower than imported looms, and this is also a major problem with domestic looms. The user's good impression is not obtained by the effort of overnight. Foreign advanced looms manufacturing companies often put manufacturing quality first. After decades or even hundreds of years of development, they have gained goodwill and trust from users, and have maintained a leading edge in technology. The domestic looms manufacturing companies must win the price in the fierce market competition first to take advantage of the price, and this is usually at the cost of reducing equipment manufacturing quality and the quality of parts and components. The "manufacturing quality is poor", "the quality of the supporting parts is not high," and "the reliability is low" is the main problem that the user believes that the domestic looms exist.

On the other hand, some respondents lacked understanding of domestic looms and had some prejudice. Some enterprises that still use a large amount of shuttle weaving machines do not understand the functions and degree of automation of the new domestic looms, and have not seen the development of domestically produced equipment. In addition to vigorously improving product quality, domestic looms manufacturing companies also need to strengthen their publicity and promotion efforts to assist users in product restructuring.
