Footwear Manufacturing Industry Increased Smart Manufacturing To Enable Supply Chain Visualization

"More links in data acquisition, visualization of supply chain links, and real-time interaction enhancement between upstream and consumers of supply chain..."

Relying on Internet concepts and technology, Quanzhou

We are opening up the "smart factory" action, through the integration of the Internet of things, the Internet and the manufacturing industry, so that consumers can directly participate in the stages of product design, raw material preparation, ordering plan, manufacturing, logistics, distribution and even recycling, so as to realize the intellectualization of R & D design, the intellectualization of production process, the intellectualization of terminal products and the intellectualization of services.

Visualization of supply chain

"In the future, as long as the terminal sells a product, the upstream suppliers will receive information synchronously and prepare the raw materials synchronously."

In the view of Xiao Lihua, general manager of XTEP electric, the intelligent factory in the future must take consumers as the core and realize the visualization of the entire supply chain at the same time.

XTEP is undergoing such a pformation.

As early as 3 years ago, XTEP set up a flexible production line for the development of electricity suppliers' special contributions.

"With the development of the Internet in the future, the voice of C is getting stronger and stronger. The first driving force of the future value chain will come from consumers rather than manufacturers (B).

In the traditional industrial economy era, large-scale, pipelined, standardized and cost oriented B2C operation models are derived, all of which are driven by manufacturers.

In the era of Internet economy, consumers will determine your marketing form, product definition, service definition, and production rhythm. C2B is a consumer driven, consumer demand as a starting point, in a chain of business links to carry out wave type, forced pmission.

Now, on the basis of flexible production line, what XTEP wants to do is connect consumers and upstream suppliers through a set of systems, so that consumers' demand can be pmitted directly to every link of the supply chain directly and without time difference, thereby reducing the proportion of "high inventory" and "high out of stock" coexistence, minimizing inventory and maximizing profits.

King Mu is also doing such a pformation.

In the planning of the king of nine, the intelligent factory is the next development direction.

"More efficient, more pparent production processes, industrial chain visualization, real-time interaction more powerful, data collection and analysis more intensive......"

The responsible person of the nine Mu Wang describes the characteristics of the intelligent factory to reporters, and the ultimate goal of building an intelligent factory is to achieve the finished products that only produce the needs of consumers, instead of producing a large number of goods that may or may not be needed in advance.

Multi-dimensional force intelligent manufacturing

In intelligent factories, the increasingly complex manufacturing process becomes controllable. The past undocumented production details can be traced and can achieve sustainable profitability in the changing environment and needs.

In fact, in the shoe and clothing industry, the red collar group in Qingdao, Shandong is the forerunner of the traditional factory to pform the intelligent factory.

On the basis of traditional mass production, the red collar flexibly adjusts the production process through the combination of software and intelligent production equipment, and creates a product that users need with a more economical cost.

With the help

Analysis shows that the red collar can achieve mass customization by data modeling. It can accomplish "one person, one edition, one garment and one" in one minute, and achieve personalized customization in all details, and achieve large-scale industrial production on the production line.

In the red collar group's Internet factory, our reporter has had an experience.

After measuring 22 data of 19 parts of the body, the information is pmitted to the preparation department, and the cutting is done on the automatic cutting bed.

After the cut material reaches the pipeline, each employee has a computer recognition terminal. The operator identifies the data on the computer, including the different needs of the customer for the suit, pocket, sleeve, button, embroidery and so on.

After 7 days, customers can receive their own customized products.

"At the sales side, we use the big data accumulated by the Internet to judge the future trend more accurately. At the end of the production line, we use the Internet to improve the efficiency of the workshop and gradually realize the customization of clothing."

In the clothing enterprises such as nine king of Mu and Emperor licensing, the combination of "Internet +" and intelligent manufacturing is applied to the pformation of traditional production processes and the design of new business models.

In recent years, a series of intelligent products have gradually emerged. For example, smart fabrics, enterprises use advanced technology in the fabric production process, so that the fabric has the functions of warmth retention, moisture retention and so on.

And 361 degrees, XTEP and other sports brands are also exploring the intellectualization of products. The children's anti lose shoes launched by the 361 degree cooperation with Baidu have developed second generation products, and will extend to the field of adult shoes and clothing. The first children's intelligent positioning shoes jointly developed by XTEP and Qihoo 360 are in the first quarter of 2016.

The open subscription will be launched in the first quarter of 2016.

In addition, XTEP also plans to launch intelligent products linked to APP, and plans to expand different types of smart equipment.
