Smart Clothing Is Expected To Become The Next Outlet For Wearable Devices.

Technology is becoming

Indispensable factors, and even lead the fashion trend.

Not long ago, a famous clothing brand in China released the new model.

。

Unlike traditional jackets, the product has 17 close pockets.

It has the functions of taking steps, controlling music, remote control taking pictures, and missing reminders. Intelligent design meets the needs of business travelers in many scenes.

Thanks to the improvement of electronic devices such as micro sensors and chips, they can be embedded or attached to cloth, making intelligent gradually become a new trend in the clothing industry.

At present, the application of smart clothing mainly focuses on two aspects: intelligent life scenes and sports health information monitoring.

Some analysts predict that compared with smart products such as bracelet, watches, etc.

The viscosity is stronger, and is expected to become the next outlet for wearable device development, leading the development of smart wearable field.

Enjoy music, answer phone calls, get navigation information...

These things that need to be done by mobile phones are now ready to be put on.

Not long ago, Google Corporation and some

Cooperation, launched a smart jacket.

The clothing is equipped with a multi touch sensor at the cuff. Users can play music only by touching the cuffs of the sliding jacket and adding other components. They can also answer phones and read maps.

This design is undoubtedly good news for the riders, security, drivers and so on, because they do not need to risk their mobile phones.

Sew up the solar panels on the pocket, the electronic equipment can be automatically charged in the pocket; the socks containing the insulation particles can absorb or release heat according to the temperature difference between the environment and the human body; when the music component is embedded, the clothes can also produce different songs according to your dance steps.

Previously, the hope was applied to the inspiration of wearable devices such as watches, and now it is starting a new exploration on the carrier of clothes.

Sports and health monitoring are the most important applications of smart clothing.

For example, wearing a sports shirt with heart rate measuring chips can get information about heart rate, heart fatigue, heart age and so on.

Most of them also embedded sensors that receive health data. They store relevant information to personal computers or data terminals. The important physiological characteristics of the wearer are recorded, and then the data are analyzed, and health medical advice is given. In case of accident, early warning is also available.

The emergence of smart clothing is the inevitable choice to adapt to the industrial Internet.

The integration of technology and clothing is the inevitable result of the extension of industrial Internet to industry and manufacturing.

Important trend of future development.

TMT (technology, media and communications) industry commentator Wang Xinxi believes that the essence of smart clothing is to integrate the real world with the virtual world.

Technology is no doubt boosting.

The important driving force of intelligent steering.

At present, technicians can embroider the circuit into cloth with the accuracy of 0.1 millimeters.

In addition, artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing are deeply integrated, and information exchange and sharing between them provide strong technical support and data support for smart clothing.

Some experts say that the diversity of smart clothing may be beyond people's imagination.

The rise of smart clothing is also the result of consumers' demand for personalized clothing.

At present, the garment industry is becoming more sophisticated, and the personalization characteristics will become more obvious in the future.

Facing the changes of the consumer market and the double impact of technology, the garment industry is an inevitable choice to embrace the Internet and realize intelligence.

Facing the potential market prospect, many enterprises have set foot in it.

Field.

At present, there are two main categories: one is technology enterprises, the main participants are Google, Microsoft, and a number of innovative enterprises focusing on technological frontier accumulation.

They focus on breakthroughs in the technical links of the industrial chain, rely on advanced technology to enhance user experience and drive the extension of related product chains.

The other is traditional clothing brand enterprises.

In the face of the trend of intelligent interconnection, traditional garment enterprises are joining science and technology and exploring the pformation path, in order to occupy the commanding heights of development.

Set foot in

Industry, technology companies and traditional enterprises have their own worries.

Due to brand sedimentation, limited user cognition and lack of channels, technology companies hope to attract attention and lead the market trend with technological innovation or breakthrough. Traditional clothing enterprises, though ambitious and many have launched their own intelligent upgrading plan, are subject to lack of technology accumulation, lack of leading original ideas, and less product updates and technology reserves.

Immature technology and industrial chain upstream and downstream to be nurtured

Despite its bright prospects, the smart clothing industry has a long way to go.

Industry experts say that some technology companies, such as Google, sensatex and pea customers, have already sold some intelligence.

However, it is still unknowns that mechanical devices will be placed on clothing and even intelligent and intelligent.

And some traditional clothing enterprises launched smart clothing attempt, lack of clear industrial structure, there is no practical direction.

Because

There is no clear direction for business, and venture capital has also been cautious in this field.

More importantly, the smart apparel industry chain has not yet formed, and no company can integrate the whole chain from clothing production, sales, hardware and software support and data services to the upstream and downstream.

In the interview with the director of Qipai men's clothing, Hong Zhao had admitted that with the development of data and intelligence and its wide application in life, smart clothing will lead the development of future fashion.

Just in

The expansion of the field can not be overnight. There must be preparations for a protracted war.

If the market can still take time to cultivate slowly, the immature technology of smart clothing is a constraint.

Key issues of large-scale applications.

For example,

Some of the functions of listening to music and preventing loss have not caught the pain point of the user.

The smart clothes on the market are mostly integrated with various sensors, but how to make sensors, wires and insulated wires to be used in clothing fibers to make smart clothes more lightsome and durable, remains to be further studied by technicians and designers.

Even the most widely used field of sports health monitoring,

Similar to the functions of wearable devices such as smart bracelet, there is much room for improvement in how to differentiate competition and enhance user stickiness.

In addition, a series of factors such as discomfort, uneasy cleaning, poor waterproofing of electronic equipment and high price are also the practical obstacles to the promotion of smart clothing.

For example, some

The use of more complex, affecting the comfort degree, when cleaning, but also to the upper part of the components removed.

This makes the practitioners of the smart clothing industry not only face the pressure of improving technology, but also have many challenges in material science.

Chen Lu said,

There is much room for improvement in both hardware and software.

On the one hand, enterprises need to actively seek innovative core technologies and applications, so that products have enough "selling points". On the other hand, they need to focus on consumer habits to create a more comfortable user experience.
