Under the epidemic, it is difficult to hire workers in the textile industry, Suntech intelligent rapier looms help international textile production

Since 2020, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many countries have suspended work and production. After the gradual popularization of vaccines in 2021, the epidemic situation is still not effectively controlled in countries with vaccine shortages, and even intensified, such as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, etc. Major manufacturing and textile industries have had to adopt policies to reduce the concentration of people because of the epidemic.

In addition to the work being carried out at the government and departmental levels to raise the level of workers’ awareness, some factories have taken the initiative to reduce the number of workers by half to ensure social distancing, while also providing additional buses to provide transportation services to and from get off work. Some factories It is also conducting temperature measurement and forced hand washing when employees enter and exit, and the distribution of PPE materials.

Factory owners expressed concern about the nature of the apparel business structure. Facts have proved that maintaining social distancing in a factory environment is difficult for many factories because the operating structure of the production line requires a certain degree of closeness between each mechanical line. ''We reduced our workers by half to maintain social distancing, but the biggest challenge is still the nature of work. "The manager of the manufacturing workshop explained.

Global fashion brands are closing their stores, resulting in reduced demand for brand production at the factory level, and in some cases even a complete stop. This in turn caused some factories to close their sheds, while others moved the market to produce much-needed COVID-19 PPE materials during this period.

Similarly, prior to the webinar session, the ILO plans to conduct a digital survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 on factory operations. The preliminary findings emphasize this point;

• Compared with the same period in 2019, the average capacity utilization rate reported in the first quarter of 2020 has dropped by 30%

• 54% of surveyed factories expect their revenue to fall by 20% in 2020

• The factory has reduced employees’ working hours in response to slowing production and employee retention issues

• 58% of manufacturers are willing to re-use their production in response to Covid-19 products (masks, towels, bed sheets and hospital gowns). They will need to provide support in purchasing machinery, raw materials, foreign exchange and training workers.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs issued a COVID-19 workplace response agreement, outlining and encouraging employers and workers to take preventive measures to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. The protocol also proposes various legal and administrative measures to curb the economic consequences for the industry and workers. Negative effects have surfaced, and there are major uncertainties in the short-term. The factory is working hard to maintain business and retain employees.

At present, the textile and manufacturing industries of various countries are caught in a vicious circle of reducing workers, difficult to hire again, and expensive labor costs. Labor issues have become the key to the textile manufacturing industry. Perhaps the application of intelligent equipment and production lines is a good way to solve labor problems.
