In recent years, with the rapid development of the textile industry, China's textile machinery industry has become a major global textile machinery manufacturing country. Energy conservation and environmental protection are the sustainable development directions of the dyeing and finishing industry in the 21st century. New technologies such as short process and automation technology, plate free printing technology, low-temperature plasma treatment, and anhydrous processing technology are the future development trends of dyeing and finishing machinery.

Therefore, automation technology should be widely adopted in the future, and the transmission system should adopt an AC frequency conversion multi unit synchronous speed regulation system; In terms of control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLC) or industrial computer control (IPC) are widely used, and parameter online monitoring is widely used, which improves the automation level of dyeing and finishing equipment and greatly improves process stability and reproducibility.

Although China's textile machinery manufacturing level has improved rapidly and the gap with the international market is narrowing, foreign manufacturers are accelerating their localization process in China in order to reduce costs and increase market share. They are also establishing operating institutions in China to improve their rapid response capabilities and provide service solutions. At the same time, there is a trend of strong alliances among international manufacturers.

At present, the scale of textile machinery enterprises in China is generally small, and the technological content of their products is relatively low. Although the enterprises are doing a large job, they are not strong, specialized, or precise, and their survival and crisis resistance capabilities are very limited. The number of domestically produced equipment in the Chinese textile machinery market accounts for 80%, but the proportion of sales is less than 50%. When the financial crisis approaches, textile machinery enterprises will face difficulties.

Recently, German textile machinery manufacturers launched a sustainability initiative and action aimed at "emphasizing energy efficiency and environmental protection" in response to the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Industry Federation. "Blue energy efficiency" is an international symbol of sustainable solutions in the field of equipment and engineering, and the concept of "blue energy efficiency" represents economic, environmental, and social responsibility.

Under this concept, the mechanical industry uses intelligent technology to provide specific solutions for saving resources and efficiency. This is a concept that our country's textile machinery should learn from to avoid situations where textile machinery manufacturers claim to be energy-saving advanced equipment but have no standards to speak of. At present, improving automation, intelligence, and energy conservation is the focus of textile enterprises, and it is also the direction of future textile machinery development. At the same time, achieving energy-saving in textile processing is also one of the symbols of advanced equipment.

Market demand provides impetus for the transformation, upgrading, and technological innovation of textile machinery enterprises. Textile enterprises need energy-saving equipment. In the future development of textile enterprises, whoever masters technology, possesses advanced equipment, and maintains a certain level of sustainable development ability can stand undefeated in the competition. At present, textile enterprises are generally facing the problem of "difficult recruitment" and rising labor costs year by year. Therefore, improving the efficiency, energy conservation, and labor efficiency of textile machinery equipment has become an inevitable requirement for textile enterprises, and it is also an inevitable trend in the development of textile machinery equipment. Textile machinery manufacturing enterprises should increase research and development investment and technological innovation efforts, accelerate the transformation from "manufacturing" to "creation", and achieve the upgrading and replacement of traditional textile machinery equipment.
