Intelligent weaving is the application of information technology, automation technology, artificial intelligence technology, etc., to achieve automation, intelligence, flexibility, and networking in the weaving production process, improve production efficiency and product functionality, and meet personalized customization and diversified needs. Intelligent weaving covers Intelligent design, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent management, intelligent services and other links, covering the whole industrial chain of fiber materials, yarns, fabrics, dyeing and finishing, clothing and so on.

Digital empowerment is to use Big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, blockchain and other digital technologies to realize the digitalization, platformization, scenario and socialization of fabric design, production, sales and services, improve product innovation ability and market response speed, and create a new online and offline integrated sales channel. Digital empowerment includes multiple aspects such as digital workshops, digital supply chains, digital marketing, and digital branding, involving the entire value chain of production management, quality control, logistics distribution, and customer relationships.

Intelligent weaving and digital empowerment are effective ways for the textile industry to respond to market changes and climate change, as well as key support for improving product quality and added value, enhancing international competitiveness and influence. In terms of intelligent weaving, China has built the world's largest fiber optic and 4G networks, accelerated the construction and application of 5G networks, significantly increased the penetration rate of broadband users, and the number of active users of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) has reached 460 million. China's Textile manufacturing has formed system solutions in digital workshops, intelligent production, personalized customization, networked collaboration and other aspects, and promoted them from pilot to the whole industry, achieving remarkable results in improving production efficiency, product quality, energy conservation, consumption reduction and emission reduction. The China Textile manufacturing Federation will establish an enterprise sustainable development innovation center under the "3060 Carbon Neutralization and Acceleration Plan for China's Textile and Garment Industry", integrate the advantageous resources of the global industrial chain, and focus on supporting the "3060 Action Plan" enterprises to jointly carry out collaborative research and development, mode exploration, technological innovation, product innovation, market application research, development and practice, and talent cultivation under the "dual carbon" goal orientation.

In terms of digital empowerment, China has formed new ways of production and life such as e-commerce, mobile payment, online learning, teleconferencing, Online shopping, and live video. The Internet platform is growing, the digital business environment continues to be optimized, and the level of online government services has become a global leader. China's Textile manufacturing has also made positive progress in digital design, digital supply chain, digital marketing, digital brand, etc., effectively guiding product development, reducing research and development costs, and realizing online multi-party interconnection and communication. China's Textile manufacturing has also actively carried out international cooperation. It has established cooperative relations with textile associations in 52 countries and regions to promote the interconnection of Information infrastructure. The "Silk Road E-commerce" cooperation has yielded fruitful results. Platform enterprises in the field of digital economy have accelerated to go to sea, and their influence and competitiveness have continued to improve.

Overall, China is at the forefront of intelligent weaving and digital empowerment in the world, but it also faces problems and challenges such as insufficient innovation capabilities in key areas, human constraints in the industrial chain supply chain, insufficient unleashing of data resource value potential, and the need for further improvement of the digital economy governance system. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the self-reliance of science and technology, promote the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, improve the data element allocation mechanism and protection and utilization system, improve the collaborative regulatory rules and systems, promote the standardized, healthy and sustainable development of the Platform economy, and build a new mechanism for the development of the digital economy in which all economic and social subjects participate in a diversified and coordinated manner.
