How far is the smart world from us?
In fact, smart fashion is everywhere. The breakthrough of intelligent technology has brought about the soaring manufacturing efficiency, the cracking of traditional bottlenecks, and even the subversion of thinking mode. How will the intelligence of the apparel industry be born?
In the future, intelligence is not only an intelligent step from the upstream of the apparel industry chain to the terminal, but an experience process in which consumers participate in the whole process and experience the intelligence.
So today, follow our steps to start the first experience of a full-process intelligent clothing!
The first step: self-selection tailored
In the intelligent experience, the first thing consumers are exposed to is smart ordering.
“Customers choose their own fabrics, design their own styles, choose their own craftsmanship and individualized details according to their own needs, and truly realize the complete personalized product customization of consumers.†As a clothing company that enables intelligent manufacturing and C2M personalized production system Chen Jian, deputy general manager of Hubei Saishang Garment Group Co., Ltd. said that the smart order can also be tailored according to the individual size of the customer, thus achieving the fit of “fit for the fit†and achieving the perfect integration of body shape and clothing.
Chen Jian said that through intelligent transformation and upgrading, Sai Shang will be able to directly bring high-quality personalized clothing products and high-efficiency customized service cycles to consumers, and realize automation technology upgrade to reduce labor costs and create high-performance Batch, personalized, flexible production customization system to achieve C2M customized production and service models directly to individual consumers.
If Sai Shang started from manufacturing "hardware", then Huapin customization is from the design "software" into the intelligent upgrade.
“In order to solve the current tailor-made process, the physical master's tactics and professional skills are different, and online consumers can't go to the store to measure the body. Specially developed a photo tailoring system.†Shaoxing Huapin Clothing Design Deng Xiaoliang, general manager of the company, said that with the consent of the consumers, the system can take photos of the front, left and right sides and back of the consumer in four directions to obtain the customer's body photo and measurement data and import them into CAD. After the system, the version of the consumer fit can be automatically generated.
It's not just a single fit, but the designer of Huapin can also design according to the temperament of the consumer's image through the camera-oriented software, such as choosing the collar width and shoulder sleeve shape that are more suitable for the consumer, greatly improving the customer. Satisfaction.
The second step: intelligent manufacturing full control
After experiencing intelligent ordering and intelligent measurement, the next step is the intelligent manufacturing system of the clothing industry chain that is most interested in “Technology Controlâ€.
In the Meichun intelligent manufacturing system of Hubei Saishang Garment Group Co., Ltd., after the consumer completes the intelligent order placement, the intelligent technology matching system can automatically match the technical requirements of the corresponding requirements, such as the layout, process, and process, and realize the dataization. Automated requirements are passed, which greatly saves technical manpower allocation and reduces the chance of human error.
In the cutting process, through the system of intelligent automatic cutting machine "matching custom" data transmission, CAD automatic plate making, layout, typesetting, etc., within 10 minutes can cut out a suit to maximize efficiency.
In the sewing process, each piece will be made into a chip containing all the information corresponding to the piece, such as fabric number, order number, piece information, craftsmanship and so on. The chip will be accompanied by cut pieces to the ready-to-wear products. The purpose is to ensure the ownership of the pieces. The workers will not use the wrong pieces when they are produced, which is convenient for quick identification and saves time.
In fact, clothing manufacturing is a complicated process, not to mention that many personalized designs will lead to more cumbersome processes. However, according to Chen Jian, Sai Shang's Meichun workshop MES system sums up the rules from the process and process requirements, and uses a point-to-point approach and a one-to-one correspondence model to divide the process and process into each worker. According to the display of the MES system of each process, the workers can clarify the details of the process and process, thus ensuring accurate and error-free production.
In Chen Jian's view, the biggest benefit of intelligent production is that it has greatly liberated productivity, reduced labor costs, and improved production efficiency. Due to the support of accurate data, the quality of products has been effectively guaranteed. More importantly, the delivery period has been guaranteed. It may take at least 30 days to complete the delivery, and now it can be shortened to 10 days or even 7 days.
The third step: smart clothing upgrade experience
For the end consumer, smart clothing is probably the most desirable part of the year. Technology-based experience, intelligent data, visualization, precision, stabilization, etc., seem to be high-tech vocabulary flocking to smart clothing products.
For example, having a personalized running feature that integrates moisture wicking, partial protection, ergonomics, safe night running, fashion cool, environmental technology, ice experience, data analysis, GPS positioning, etc. is no longer a science fiction movie. The bridge section.
Soaring Technology, which will be exhibiting at CHIC2017 (Autumn), has a number of core patent technologies, including the patented technology of the company, LiMax technology, smart wearable technology, bionic honeycomb patent, Yiyoula patent, seamless stamping technology, etc. .
These core technologies have been applied to the sports series of clothing, in which the waist, the foot and the trouser legs of the fitness Pants use a tensile strength, which can have a strong strength and resilience. The fitness sports tights are used in the front chest, back and hips to increase the strength of the fabric in special parts, to stabilize the muscles without shaking, to cushion the muscles, to strengthen the blood flow, and to promote metabolism.
According to Chen Jingwei, general manager of the Sports Division of Tengfei Technology, in addition to the sports series, Tengfei Technology's smart clothing and medical rehabilitation testing series. The BodyPlus product system launched by Ascendas Technology includes ECG intelligence and EMG intelligence applications.
In the future, personal data recording, medical monitoring and transformation, precision sports, private sports butlers, and vitality delay guards will also satisfy consumers' individual needs.
The fourth step: data collection fast return
In the “last mile†of the consumer – the retail sector, smart technology is trying to subvert the tradition and crack the inventory puzzles in apparel retail.
“Through the data funnel, we can analyze the customer's consumption behavior, achieve accurate and quick return and replenishment, and minimize the inventory of branded clothing.†Yu Liqun, general manager of Wuxi Hengyi Software Technology Co., Ltd. said that as long as it is used in retail stores. Hengyi Software's intelligent supply chain and smart store, intelligent retail cloud platform, RFID technology, can track a lot of data, such as the number of times the shelves are moved by customers, reflecting the attention rate of goods; the number of times the goods are in the fitting room, Reflecting the rate of trial wear; the settlement data of the goods reflects the transaction rate of the goods.
It can be seen that with the help of technology, offline shopping is no longer a purposeless wandering, and merchants can realize interaction with customers. More proactively, with the customer's permission, the merchant can give a precise new product recommendation or push a specific offer based on the previous consumption record. On the other hand, the merchant can also better explore the taste of the customer by pushing the information point and the purchase data to analyze the promotion strategy and the display of the product in time.
"The physical retail store's big bottleneck in the process of changing seasons, as well as the rapid delivery of e-commerce retailing, can be completely solved through intelligent technology." Yu Liqun said that this is through RFID The technology's full-box incremental pallet scan replaces the original scan inspection.
After using RFID technology, the goods do not need to be opened for inventory, the scanning speed is 22 times before, a store can be easily completed in only 5 minutes, and the data is more accurate.
Facts have proved that new technology has already brought considerable profits to the logistics and retail sectors of the apparel industry. In the future, it is imperative for the apparel industry to take an intelligent approach. Apparel companies must also seek truth from facts. Finding the right enterprise to join smart manufacturing and enhance brand influence can further and further in the apparel industry.
