How Does Yalan Textile Group Lead The Innovative Development Of Linen Industry?

Established in December 2017, the Yalan Research Institute of the Linen Industry is the first hotel linen industry research institute in China. It was initiated by the Yalan Textile Group, which has been engaged in hotel linen for 21 years, and hired famous textile scientists, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Xi'an Engineering Yao Mu, the honorary president of the university, serves as the honorary advisor, and Dr. Sun Runjun of Xi'an Polytechnic University serves as the advisor and specially-appointed expert, and cooperates closely with 18 leading textile enterprises in the United States for joint research and development, interconnected production, and joint production, forming a first-class scientific research, spinning, and weaving in the industry , a complete industrial chain integrating dyeing, sewing, sales, linen intelligent leasing, and service, and a new strategic development pattern for the hotel linen industry of "production, learning, research, government, and use" five in one.

 

 

 

At present, most domestic linen enterprises are at the bottom of the "smiling curve" of the industrial chain, with low added value of business and production activities, low innovation ability, uneven quality, and increasingly fierce market competition. In order to further form a comprehensive layout of the textile industry supply chain, further enhance market competitiveness, focus on the needs of the market and users, lead the healthy development of technology and the market, form innovative capabilities with independent development and joint development, and support the healthy and sustainable development of enterprises in all supply chain links Development, create good economic and social benefits, and continuously enhance brand value. In December 2017, Yalan Textile Group initiated the establishment of the China Hotel Linen Industry Yalan Research Institute in conjunction with Xi'an Polytechnic University, and proposed that relevant enterprises in the textile industry jointly Join, build consensus, jointly develop, interconnect production, and create a win-win situation.

The establishment of the "Yalan Research Institute" of China's hotel linen industry aims to solve five important needs of the industry: first, the demand for products with good experience and high cost performance; second, the strategic needs of enterprises to avoid homogeneous competition; third, to increase the innovation ability of enterprises The demand for soft power; the fourth is the win-win demand to guide the cooperation and development of the industry; the fifth is to jointly promote the development of the linen industry.

 

 

The research institute has 13 staff, including 6 full-time staff, 7 part-time staff, 1 honorary consultant, 1 consultant and special expert, 1 executive dean, 2 vice presidents, 1 product R&D manager, and product R&D director. 1, 1 university cooperation unit and 18 industrial chain cooperation units.

Honorary President of Xi'an Polytechnic University, Executive Director of China Textile Engineering Society, Vice Chairman and Honorary Committee Member of Shaanxi Science and Technology Association, Vice Chairman of Fiber Branch of China Standardization Association, Honorary Consultant of Yalan Textile Group Linen Research Institute.

Academician Yao Mu has been engaged in scientific research and teaching in the field of textile science for a long time. Based on the characteristics of the sensory nervous system of the Chinese human skin, he proposed a clothing comfort model that comprehensively reflects skin physiology, psychology, physics, and engineering, as well as the energy flow and material flow through the fabric. The theory of contact interface impedance opened up a new field of research on the comfort of human clothing, and laid a theoretical foundation for the development of special functional clothing. He has successively developed 16 kinds of textile instruments, drafted a number of national standards and military standards, won the first and third prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and many provincial and ministerial awards. He edited, edited, translated and published 18 books, edited the college textbook "Textile Materials Science", published more than 100 academic papers, and cultivated a large number of talents and scientific and technological backbones for the country.
