Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment production technology, specifically to a cellular garment production management system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Garment manufacturing is a labor-intensive industry. Traditional garment processing adopts a bulk production model. With the modernization of mechanization and automation, hanging systems are widely used in bulk production factories to improve production efficiency. To further improve work efficiency, the structure of garment production transport lines is also being gradually optimized. Factories use intelligent sewing production lines that process according to pre-set route maps. Cut pieces are transported to various workstations via single-piece hangers for splicing. This process requires multiple groups of workers to operate together. Each group of workers is responsible for sewing one section of the garment. The sewn garment pieces are then sent to the next work group until the entire garment is sewn. After production, the garments undergo centralized finishing processes (including ironing, trimming threads, inspection, and packaging).

[0003] However, the current garment production is shifting towards the production needs of fast fashion apparel (small orders, quick turnaround), and the traditional bulk production model combined with hanging systems cannot meet the production needs of small orders, quick turnaround (low order depth, many styles, short delivery time, and high quality).

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist:

[0005] (1) The hanging system adopts a production method of one garment corresponding to one hanging piece, which increases labor and time costs, reduces production efficiency, and cannot meet the production needs of short delivery time under the small order and fast return mode.

[0006] (2) The processing methods of each processing station in the hanging system are limited and cannot be flexible. When processing orders with many styles, the production efficiency decreases and cannot meet the production needs of many styles and short delivery time under the small order and fast return mode.

[0007] (3) Under the large-batch production model, the same batch of garments needs to wait for the previous process to be completed before it can enter the next process. The finished product production takes a long time and the production efficiency is low, which cannot meet the production needs of low depth and short delivery time under the small-batch quick return model.

[0008] (4) In the large-scale production model, finished garments undergo centralized finishing processes (including ironing, thread trimming, inspection, and packaging). Workers' handling and sorting efficiency is low and prone to errors, which cannot meet the production requirements of short delivery time and high quality in the small-batch quick return model.

[0009] In view of this, there is an urgent need to improve the existing garment production system to meet the production demands of fast fashion garments, which require low order depth, many styles, short delivery time, and high quality in small-batch, quick-turnaround production. Summary of the Invention

If the inspection information is satisfactory, the goods are transported to the packaging station for packaging. If the inspection information is unsatisfactory, the goods skip the packaging station and enter the hanging production line for rework and repair.

12. A cellular-based garment production management method, characterized in that, include: Collect order information and customer information to generate order data; Acquire warehouse material data, work data of each workstation on the production line, and equipment data of the production line to generate production line data; Based on the order data and production line data, the production route map and the work tasks of each workstation are obtained through analysis and processing. The production route map is a route map of different categories of clothing through the production line, and the work tasks are different processes within the same production route map. According to the production route map, multiple workstations are organized into work groups, and each work group performs the work tasks corresponding to the production route map. According to the production route map, materials are put into the production line, and the clothing information related to the materials is set in the transport basket. After the track identifies the clothing information, the target workstation corresponding to the transport basket is determined, and the transport basket is transported to the target workstation for various same or different processing.
