Many of our friends are always arguing about who is better in the United States AI or China's AI, when Americans are still struggling in the laboratory on how to improve AI computing power and use it to gain the favor of the stock market, and the United States even tries to choke our necks by restricting the sales of AI chips to China, but do you know? Chinese don't say a word, but how fast is the implementation of AI technology? In fact, it can be said that the entire manufacturing industry has changed dramatically!
Recently, the media exposed Xtep's super smart factory in Anhui Province, which produced a ready-to-wear garment in 18 seconds! The whole scene is still very shocking and emotional. So, how does this factory manage to make a garment in 18 seconds? The secret lies in the intelligent management system.
Xtep's intelligent management system is a highly integrated platform, which covers all aspects from raw material procurement, production planning, production execution to quality monitoring. Through the intelligent management system, the factory can monitor the production progress and quality in real time to ensure the stability and reliability of the production process.
With the help of the intelligent management system, Xtep Super Smart Factory has realized the digitization and intelligence of the production process. This means that the entire production process, from the arrival of raw materials to the delivery of garments, is precisely documented and managed. This not only increases production efficiency, but also reduces production costs.
In the Xtep Smart Factory, you can see the intelligent hanging system shuttling through the three floors like a high-speed rail track, which is very spectacular. Fabrics of various colors, materials and sizes are cut in batches and hung on hangers, then mounted on the "high-speed train" and accurately transferred to the designated workstations.
This is the most striking flexible fast reaction solution of the super smart factory, and its name is "Unbounded". This solution digitizes 100% of all processes in garment production, enabling a single production line to break through category boundaries. To put it simply, no matter what kind of clothing consumers need, Xtep's super smart factory can quickly respond and produce ready-to-wear that meets the requirements in a short time.
Since the intelligent system was put into use in early 2023, Xtep's front-line employees have felt it the most. "The speed of work is much faster, and the parts of materials that need to be worked can always be delivered to the station at the most appropriate time. Work efficiency has improved, and salary income has increased significantly compared to before! "This is feedback from a female worker who is working at the workstation.
At the heart of the "Unbounded" solution lies in its highly flexible line configuration. Through the intelligent management system, the factory can quickly adjust the configuration and quantity of the production line according to the order demand. This means that whether it is producing T-shirts in summer or padded clothing in winter, Xtep Super Smart Factory can easily cope with it. This flexibility not only improves production efficiency, but also meets consumer demand for personalized, customized products.
Wang Jian, general manager of Xtep Group's manufacturing division, told reporters: "Unbounded" allows us to accurately grasp every production link and adjust it in real time according to the actual operation situation, so as to achieve a balance between material replenishment, personnel arrangement, machine linkage and other aspects. Even if a link is overlooked, or a temporary production task needs to be added, "Unbounded" can make adjustments in time to assist the workshop manager to make new arrangements.
In the Xtep super smart factory, there is also a core control system called the "brain". This system is responsible for receiving and processing data and information from the intelligent management system, and intelligently scheduling and optimizing the production line based on these data and information. It can be said that the "brain" is the soul and core of Xtep's super smart factory.
The power of the "brain" is due to its advanced algorithms and models. Through continuous learning and optimization, these algorithms and models are able to accurately predict various situations and problems in the production process and take corresponding measures to solve them in advance. This ability to predict and solve problems has enabled Xtep Super Smart Factory to stay ahead of the fierce market competition.
"Dozens of production lines are connected to the same brain, according to Xtep's full range of orders, whether it is a summer T-shirt or a winter cotton clothing, the brain can combine different production lines at will as needed to achieve flexible and fast response, which is the first in the industry." Wang Jian, general manager of Xtep Group's manufacturing division, said.
The brain can also automatically assign jobs to employees based on their output and quality data. After each process is completed, the system will automatically count the pieces, and the wages will be automatically calculated after work. How much money is earned a day is clear, which makes Xtep employees really feel the efficiency and convenience brought by intelligence.
Moreover, this system is aimed at some post-00s who have "social fear", and it can also resolve the embarrassment of having a relationship with the team leader in order to take on more tasks. Under the management of this system, employees don't need to spend money to ask the team leader to masturbate, as long as they sit at the workstation and complete their homework, the system will automatically push her new tasks or the next process, so that the busy pressure of the day is reduced a lot.
