Achievements In Customized Transformation Of Technology Enabled Garment Intelligent Factory

With the vigorous development of China's garment industry, high and new technology is gradually infiltrating into all aspects of the upstream and downstream supply chain. At the same time, after decades of changes, the clothing industry is also showing great changes.

It is reported that on the one hand, the growth of clothing retail sales is almost stagnant, inefficient production capacity has been gradually replaced, and fast fashion brands are closing shop. In 2017, ZARA closed the biggest flagship store in China, and Topshop, Forever21 and Old Navy quit the Chinese market one after another. On the other hand, there was a surging wave of national culture, including Chinese brands such as Lining and Bosideng on the international stage.

It is worth mentioning that the rising domestic brands invariably introduce advanced technology in all aspects of the supply chain, so as to meet the market demand, reduce the cost and inventory pressure, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Clothing brands such as Anta, Semir and Bosideng collect and share information through the ERP system, penetrate consumer fashion preferences and consumption habits, and improve efficiency through automated equipment in production and logistics links, so as to achieve quick response to fashion trends. Brand Lining also changed part of ODM to self owned factory since 2019 to create a complete supply chain with its own flexibility and flexible production.

As a traditional intensive production industry, garment enterprises are highly dependent on manual operation. With the increase of labor costs 10% per year, the processing costs of enterprises are also rising. The rapid adjustment of domestic leading apparel brands in the production process can be seen as a leading force in the spirit of leadership, leading the industry to achieve more intelligent and automated changes.

When garment enterprises decide to automate the transformation of manual factories, they are prone to encounter many problems. On the one hand, domestic enterprises lack practical experience in automation, and lack judgment when choosing intelligent devices and software. On the other hand, in the implementation of automation transformation, it is easy to overlook the pain relief point, and do not start from reducing inventory and manpower, and can not maximize production on demand. YSD Yun Shang Ding, a Chinese sole brand from the US listed group Cimpress, is an expert in customization and transformation service of C2M intelligent factory. It is transforming the group's experience in the global practice for 25 years into a specific solution for the Chinese market to help Chinese factories achieve more efficient automation and customized production.

Over the past year, technology has invested more than 1 billion 300 million US dollars, has more than 200 patents and 15 large scale customized production bases worldwide. Cimpress group has a solid foundation for the transformation of intelligent factories. YSD cloud also modularized the integration experience of large-scale customized production systems and processes, providing large-scale customization and on-demand production for traditional manufacturing industries. The plan is to build a "nerve center" that links all the links and information data, and helps them implement the intelligent production process, enabling them to realize customized transformation and customized production of intelligent factories, and intelligent integrated management.

Unlike the standard plan of "one size fits all", YSD cloud is going to every customer, providing customized solutions after fieldwork, and providing effective and feasible intelligent factory transformation service from the actual pain point of the factory. Specifically, YSD cloud is still building its intelligent ordering, intelligent production, intelligent warehousing and intelligent logistics system through its mass customization platform. It sets up a complete solution to provide one-stop transformation to achieve intelligent factories and supply chain customization. It can help traditional manufacturing enterprises to build platforms, undertake customized orders from upstream brands and consumers, and also open up the back-end. Directly connect production lines to help achieve mass customization and on-demand production.

Along with the continuous rise of labor costs, the supply chain of China's garment industry is moving towards important transformation nodes. It is foreseeable that the trend of Chinese garment factories will pay more attention to efficiency, automation, information and intelligence in the future, which will subvert the tradition of the industry.
