Plate making is a key link in garment manufacturing. It is not only a simple size conversion, but also a balance between beautiful appearance and comfortable wearing, with comprehensive consideration of ergonomics, fabric and other aspects. The staff of the "Painting Clothes" booth told the reporter that the enterprise tried to use artificial intelligence to enable plate making. Through big data and algorithms, it transformed online design into actual sample clothes, which simplified the design and development process and improved production efficiency.

Automatic plate making, smart matching, digital marketing... Walk around the exhibition, and the "smart" atmosphere is coming.

Some clothing manufacturers have launched new formats such as shared factories, and some exhibitors have enabled business model changes through digital products, services and industrial Internet; Cloud procurement, cloud warehouse storage, cloud scheduling... applications related to digital intelligence continue to expand.
