Bosch View | Wen Danfeng: "Electric Vehicle Moment" In The Clothing Industry

　 "Electric Vehicle Moment" in Clothing Industry

In today's wave of global scientific and technological change, digital technology, automation equipment and artificial intelligence technology are becoming important engines for innovation and upgrading in various industries. As the chief data officer of Guangdong Garment Industry Association, I visited two demonstration enterprises of digital transformation and intelligent upgrading in Shaxi, Zhongshan: Jinding Intelligent Manufacturing and Yuanyi Intelligent Manufacturing at the "Shaxi Fashion in Tidal Bay Area" event held by the Association at Shaxi branch of Guangdong Fashion Week in autumn, I deeply felt the far-reaching impact of Shaxi Town's implementation of digital transformation and intelligent upgrading project on the clothing industry. The successful practice of Shaxi clothing enterprises shows the "electric vehicle moment" of the clothing industry. The comprehensive application of digital technology, automation equipment and artificial intelligence technology has driven the process upgrading, productivity improvement and product quality improvement of the clothing industry. Shaxi is promoting the entire clothing industry to move towards intelligence and digitalization.

　 1、 Digital technology+automation equipment+artificial intelligence promote process upgrading

In the clothing industry, the limitations of traditional handicrafts and mechanized equipment are gradually being replaced by intelligent equipment. Advanced equipment such as automatic sewing equipment and intelligent cutting system not only make the production process more efficient, but also improve the precision of products and the enforceability of complex processes. In the factories of Jinding Intelligent Manufacturing and Yuanyi Intelligent Manufacturing, the automation equipment has achieved accurate control in the production process through data algorithm and intelligent perception technology, reducing manual error and production waste.

For example, the 3D virtual fitting system can enable designers and customers to preview the clothing design effect in advance in the digital space, and make rapid modifications as required, thus significantly shortening the cycle of design and sample clothing production. All this benefits from the flexible application of intelligent equipment in the process, which not only accelerates the production speed, but also improves the personalized and customized service capabilities of products.

　　 2、 Digital technology improves productivity

The application of digital technology is the key to realize intelligent production in garment industry. In Jinding Intelligent Manufacturing and Yuanyi Intelligent Manufacturing, enterprises have built a highly intelligent factory management system through digital tools such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and cloud computing. The sensors and equipment in the intelligent factory are connected with each other. Through real-time data collection, the automatic control of the production line, intelligent operation and optimization of the production process are realized.

This whole process data management greatly improves the productivity and enables enterprises to produce higher quality products in the shortest time. In addition, enterprises use big data to analyze market trends and consumer demand, and achieve accurate flexible production, which not only reduces inventory backlog, but also avoids resource waste. This data-driven production mode has significantly improved the market response ability of garment enterprises, enabling them to flexibly respond to market changes and maximize production efficiency and economic benefits.

　 3、 AI helps quality improvement and personalized customization

AI technology has played a vital role in improving product quality and meeting personalized needs. The intelligent detection equipment can monitor the quality of each product in the production process through real-time data analysis to ensure the consistency and standardization of products in all links. AI can not only quickly identify and solve problems in production, but also continuously optimize production processes through self-learning ability to improve the refinement and stability of products.

At the same time, AI provides the possibility for personalized customization. Through the analysis of consumers' purchase preferences, body shape data and fashion trends, AI technology can create a customized design scheme for each customer. By using AI design platform, enterprises can not only accelerate the design process, but also provide personalized suggestions for customers to truly achieve large-scale customized production. This flexible customization service mode has improved customer satisfaction and injected more innovative elements into clothing brands.

　 4、 Benchmarking automobile industry: "electric vehicle moment" of clothing industry

There are many similarities between the digital transformation of the clothing industry and the intelligent upgrading of the automobile industry. The massive application of new energy electric vehicles cannot be separated from the deep integration of digital technology, automation equipment and artificial intelligence technology. The clothing industry can also learn from this development model to promote the intelligent management of the whole chain from design to production to market promotion.

For example, the application of digital twin technology can enable garment enterprises to simulate the entire production process in advance, and monitor and adjust every link in production in real time through the construction of virtual factories. The intelligent manufacturing platform can help enterprises to realize the whole chain management from design, raw material procurement to production and logistics, so that enterprises can respond more quickly to changes in market demand.

This "electric vehicle moment" in the clothing industry not only means a substantial increase in production efficiency, but also means that the clothing industry has entered a new stage of innovation and development. Through digital and intelligent means, garment enterprises can optimize supply chain management, reduce inventory backlog and improve resource utilization efficiency. This new mode of production not only enhances the market competitiveness of enterprises, but also provides more cooperation and innovation opportunities for upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain.

　 5、 Future outlook: technology and data driven full chain innovation

Through this visit to Jinding Intelligent Manufacturing and Yuanyi Intelligent Manufacturing, I deeply realized that data and technology will become the core driving force for the future innovation and development of the clothing industry. In the future clothing industry, intelligent equipment and digital technology will not be limited to the production link, but will cover all aspects of the entire industry chain from design, manufacturing, quality control to sales and after-sales service.

Through the deep integration of data and technology, garment enterprises will be able to better realize flexible production, improve market adaptability, and provide consumers with more personalized product and service experience. Artificial intelligence, big data and Internet of Things technology will continue to promote the garment industry to occupy a dominant position in global competition and inject continuous innovation vitality into the industry.

The innovative development of the clothing industry driven by data and technology will be the mainstream trend in the future. The clothing industry will usher in a new development opportunity through intelligent equipment optimization process, digital technology to improve productivity and artificial intelligence to help product quality and personalized customization. This "electric car moment" will not only reshape the appearance of the clothing industry, but also lead the whole industry to a higher level of intelligent and digital development.
