Moderator: today is very honored to invite the industry's big coffee, Beijing founder and CEO Wu Bin, together to explore the innovative way of clothing business. Please briefly introduce yourself and the company.
Wu Bin: Hello, everyone, I am CEO Wu Bin, the era of digital intelligence. The era of digital intelligence has arrived. It is a company that helps transform the digitalization and intellectualization of fashion industry. As a researcher in Tsinghua's field of artificial intelligence, we hope to make use of what we have learned to make it become a bridge between fashion and technology and promote the development of fashion industry.
Wu Bin shares it for you.
Moderator: in the digital age, how can AI technology empower the garment industry to promote better development of the industry?
Wu Bin: Compared with other categories, the overall digitalization of garment industry is relatively weak. The biggest reason is that clothing is non-standard. For example, we all know the memory of 64G, the golden mobile phone is very popular, but the clothing from the product planning, design, production, circulation basically rely on people, intermediate materials, including manuscripts, lines, inspiration to the board room to CAD, and ultimately to the sale of SKU, basically a picture. The first is the high cost of internal management, the second is the low efficiency of collaboration, and the third is the difficulty of digitalization. AI is a good way to solve these problems. We can let the computer automatically mark, quickly identify the categories of tops, trousers, shoes and bags, and know what type of collar and sleeve type it is, and know that this manuscript, line draft and SKU are connected in series, so as to quickly know which groups of people on the market are concerned about the different trends, understand the clothing preferences of these people, and integrate the data inside and outside. Digitalization is the only way to be intelligent, so I think AI is the most important in the digitalization of fashion industry.
Moderator: at present, AI technology and clothing, make-up and other integration, indeed brought convenience to our lives, in fact, all the technology is to make our lives better, but also hope that the use of AI technology, including our own advantages, brand premium space, can bring us more value-added. Recently, everyone is talking about new Chinese products. How do you view the re emergence of Lining and Anta clothing brands?
Wu Bin: In recent years, there are indeed many new brands rising rapidly. First of all, I would like to talk about my view, why rise, and then talk about solutions.
In my opinion, the first is that we all have a sense of national pride and at the same time more identify with our brand. Second, the ability of Chinese designers is rapidly improving; third, the consumers are more willing to accept new things now. It has been reported that the amount of information received by a person is a few times the amount of information that people touch before, so we can quickly receive information, quickly like new brands and new things, and then abandon some of their previous views. Therefore, in the era of information explosion, brands need to be quick to see what consumers are concerned about. The distance between people and goods needs to be gradually narrowed, so that they can get closer and closer to consumers, instead of being eliminated with the development of the times.
Back to the previous question, from the planning, design, production and circulation, its digitalization and market turnover efficiency are very important. A brief introduction to the products of the next polar technology, one is that the PIM system can play a number of auxiliary decisions before the birth of SKU, and the other is that after the birth of a SKU, ECPro can achieve convenient marketing and help businesses achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Moderator: This product is indeed very attractive. We hope that in the future there will be more AI companies such as technology and technology, which are committed to the digital transformation of the apparel industry.
Wu Bin: The age of digital intelligence is a standard direction for the apparel industry in the future. My idea is to promote the digitalization and intellectualization of the whole industry, to better allocate resources and better perceive users, so as to better design production and make the industry more benign.

Before the birth of the product, there are serious information islands, and many data can not be connected in series. The most important thing to do is to make computers understand fashion, from AI structure to marketing document production, and then to the internal brand data files, so as to achieve internal data synergy. The PIM brand data management system can do well in data opening. At the same time, after the birth of commodities, the intelligent operation tool ECPro of electric business will increase the efficiency of one commodity to 3 people 3 hours to 1 minutes, 1 minutes, save more than 90% of the labor cost of the businessmen, and can connect to the main business platform of Taobao, Tmall, Jingdong, and many other domestic businesses. At the end of the forum, the South News Center gave a deep interview to Wu Bin on how to apply AI technology to the supply chain. Next, it will also connect the foreign electricity providers, such as Amazon, Lazada, Ebay and so on, to achieve the automation of commodity circulation.
Turning to the development of artificial intelligence in the next five years, Wu Bin said that the most important thing now is digitalization, so that the internal design, production and circulation can be well precipitated, and the products on automated shelves can be well done. Five years later, it should be more efficient to do the scheduling of goods. From the most original layout of a commodity to the end user, the distance between goods and people is gradually getting closer. From the current production cycle of several months, the future will be shortened rapidly. At that time, enterprises will know more about the needs of users, and will greatly change the reduction of inventory and the improvement of human efficiency.
Very Rui technology won the 2019 clothing business year best service provider award.
The awards ceremony of the dinner announced the list of the major awards of the year, and it won the award of the 2019 best service provider of the year.
Wu Bin said frankly: "thanks to the sponsors' recognition, this is a great activity. We have met many people in the industry, learned the demands of many industries, and met many providers like us. I think it is a good bridge. It is precisely because of this collision of ideas, can really make the clothing industry become better.
