Recently, some manufacturing enterprises in Quanzhou are busy upgrading equipment and importing advanced machinery to digest the pressure brought about by exchange rate changes, labor cost increase and raw material price increase.

Chen Zhongshi, chairman of Fujian Europe and America long group, said that he invested heavily in the purchase of advanced equipment, so that all kinds of standard machines could be automatically controlled, and the quality of products was improved.

In addition, in the long run, upgrading the equipment and optimizing the technological process can not only reduce labor costs, but also reduce costs such as energy consumption and management costs in the production process, and only by raising the level of technology can products be competitive in the market.

It is necessary for enterprises to develop and increase independent innovation.

According to the introduction, the newly purchased automation equipment will make the individual shoemaking links more convenient and convenient for enterprises to place skilled workers in the shoe making links with high proficiency and improve efficiency.

"At present, the average wage of the front-line employees is about 2700 yuan / month. When new equipment is used, not only will the workers' wages be improved, but their working environment will also be improved, so as to enhance the attractiveness of their employment."

Liu Yihua, deputy director of Quanzhou science and Technology Bureau and director of Quanzhou Productivity Promotion Center, said that with the increase in labor prices and reduced profits, Quanzhou business model is approaching a crossroads.

In the past, labor intensive industries, which used a lot of cheap labor and consumed a lot of cheap raw and auxiliary materials, seemed to be struggling.

Taking the technology intensive road, using advanced equipment to improve labor productivity, product quality and economic benefits has become a good choice for spring enterprises to get rid of "cheap factories".
