Recently, the 2021 China Garment Technology Conference was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. In the awarding session, Mingxing technology won the "2021 recommended Project Award for excellent new technology achievements and solutions in the garment industry" by virtue of the "intelligent customized suit system based on the Internet of things" and the high-end customized suit test base covering an area of 20 mu in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, with a plant area of 2000 square meters built in phase I and more than 110 sets per day.

This award is not only a recognition of the intellectual property work of Mingxing technology, but also a high affirmation of the core technical achievements in the field of Mingxing technology suit customization. In the upcoming China International Sewing equipment exhibition, after strict review and selection by the expert group organized by the science and Technology Committee of the association and the review of the office meeting of the president of China Sewing Machinery Association, Mingxing technology has successfully been shortlisted as the main demonstration product of cisma2021 by virtue of "suit personalized customization intelligent mixed production management system".

"Go ahead with dreams"

——The true story behind the award

The project was initiated in the midst of opposition, and no one agreed with it except a few people. Before, the company has made major technological breakthroughs in discrete manufacturing. As the Pearl of the crown of garment production and manufacturing with more than 300 processes - suit manufacturing, it is undoubtedly a peak that is difficult to climb. There is a bad voice within the company: it is too difficult, too complex, and the probability of success is very small.

If successful, it will bring subversive changes to the industry. Including mass production of customized suits, there are no discrete manufacturing requirements that we can't achieve; If it fails, huge R & D funds will be wasted and the company's development will be reversed for at least five years.

With the dream of changing the world with technology, Mingxing technology has been challenging all kinds of impossibilities. "Even if there is only one person who supports me on the way forward, I will firmly go on", Yu Mingli, chairman of Mingxing technology, lined up the public discussion and immediately organized elite soldiers and strong generals to form a special project team with the elite scientific researchers allocated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. No matter how difficult the project is, as long as there is a chance of success, we should also climb to the desired goal.

I can't remember how many nights the project team worked hard all night. During the R & D process, it has experienced countless failures, the system architecture has been overturned for many times, and the equipment hardware has been removed and reinstalled for many times.

"You'll never know what you've got on paper. You must practice it."

——Break through the "ceiling" of intelligent manufacturing

Finding problems and solving problems from practice is our working standard - Mingxing science and technology department.

With the rise of the industrial Internet boom, intelligent production lines at home and abroad are becoming more and more popular in the fields of clothing, home textiles and so on. However, traditional production lines also face multiple pain points:

The cost of production line equipment is high, and the number of special equipment stations required is large, which is difficult for most small and medium-sized enterprises to afford;

The traditional one-piece flow hanging production system widely used in the market can not load all noodles and accessories with a single hanger. It can also ensure a certain efficiency in dealing with the production of large goods with simple traditional processes. It is helpless in the face of complex processes, multi garment pieces and customized mixed flow production; We can only return the "online" production of complex parts to "offline" production, which can only realize "local" intelligent production. This practice is time-consuming and laborious, and can not fundamentally solve the actual pain points of the enterprise.

When the production of products with complex processes (such as suits, down jackets, jeans, etc.) requires a lot of noodles and accessories, the traditional production process requires manual pairing, inspection and audit in the production process due to the mixing of cutting pieces, and human operation judgment errors occur frequently, resulting in the frequent "color difference" problem, which leads to a waste of a lot of manpower and material resources. Moreover, due to its system defects, there is often the risk of system collapse, resulting in total shutdown.

"Although it's hard for thousands of people to wash, it's hard to blow all the crazy sand before it comes to gold."

——Solve the long-term pain points of traditional garment production line

The shared equipment module in the customized mixed production system developed by Mingxing technology can realize multi order and multi style sharing of special equipment in the same process, reducing the cost of special equipment in the production line by 25%;

Using its leading patented technology, Mingxing technology is the only cloud MES cloud management system that uses customized mixed flow production. It cooperates with multi hanger and garment flow production to replace single hanger and single piece flow production mode. According to the merging order between the processing process of cutting task and cutting task, the hanger is transferred between multiple functional units, and the whole process of complex process is put on-line Serial production is combined to support tens of millions of data concurrency and escort the stable operation of the system;

Break through the "color difference" problem of traditional mass production, develop customized mixed flow production package management module, and carry out multi-point processing of different parts of the same product at the same time when the hanger is online. It is necessary for complex processes to produce wirelessly. The whole online process management is unmanned and real-time intelligent production scheduling greatly improves the production efficiency.

Is mingxingzhizao's black technology over? no

"Small batch and multi variety" orders have gradually become the norm in the garment and home textile industry, but this model conflicts with the line transfer cost because the number of orders is too small; At present, the solution to the circulation in the market only stays in the serial production of similar process products, but this production mode can not meet the current mixed flow and mixed line production demand of small single mode with multi order, multi size, multi style and small batch; In particular, it can not meet the needs of customers in personalized customization such as suits;

The mixed production system of Mingxing technology fully refines and summarizes the tasks of the traditional production system, so that each cutting task can be processed simultaneously and serially. Taking the transfer connection station as the center, the product parallel processing and multi-component real-time multi-point processing can be realized with the help of multiple functional unit modules;

The actual effect is: the more mixed orders, the more complex processes, and the more efficient production! While saving production and equipment costs, we can truly realize the personalized customized production demand of "small batch and multi variety".

——Technological upgrading, full force and multi field flowering

Mingxing technology started with intelligent hanging technology, focused on solving the rigid needs of garment production process, and made efforts in many artificial intelligence fields at the same time. At present, it has been widely used in garment (especially suit customization), home textile, automobile manufacturing and other fields, and has covered more and more industries.

The recommended Project Award for outstanding new technological achievements and solutions in the garment industry not only recognizes the past innovation work of Mingxing technology, but also puts forward higher requirements for our company to adhere to the source core technological innovation in the future. In the future, Mingxing technology will continue to explore technology no man's land, strive to be a leader, climb the technological peak, make intelligent production more temperature, take "solving the needs of the industry" as its own responsibility, and help China's manufacturing industry upgrade and lead the world.
