Description
Production information-based clothing production management system and method thereof
[0001] The present invention relates to a clothing production management system and method thereof, and more particularly, to a production management system that digitalizes essential production data such as clothing style, size, color, and purchase order data using wireless data transmission technology, and quantifies the production capacity of individual workers in each production process of a clothing sewing factory. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a management system and a clothing production management method performed in the management system for enhancing productivity and management efficiency through data and technology linkage with an integrated management service platform related to clothing production and logistics, such as clothing production orders and material quantity / order management for these, production management, logistics management, and financial management.
[0002] Among global manufacturing industries, the sector that has been slowest to digitally transform is the apparel production process.
[0003] Moreover, the clothing production process is a field with the greatest risk of loss of opportunity costs due to the nature of the work, with many leaks and inefficiencies in terms of time / production volume / quality control. Clothing production companies (hereinafter referred to as “factories”) that perform tasks such as cutting, sewing, washing, and packing of clothing raw / auxiliary materials receive orders from numerous vendors (intermediaries) and buyers (clothing production orderers / requesters) to produce a large number of clothing types and styles (shapes). Therefore, whenever the type and style of clothing to be produced changes, it takes a lot of time and labor to adjust the clothing production process and production facilities such as production lines to execute the production work accordingly. In addition, due to the nature of labor-intensive work, it is difficult to manage the detailed productivity of individual workers or multiple stages of the production process.
[0004] Furthermore, in apparel production, manual production management and frequent changes to production / inspection processes and production lines make efficient data-driven production management impossible, leading to persistent waste of time and money. Consequently, a management system to address these issues is urgently needed.
[0005] The present invention aims to provide a production management system that utilizes wireless data transmission technology to digitalize essential production data, such as clothing style, size, color, and purchase order data, and to quantify the production capacity of individual workers in each production process of a clothing sewing factory. Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a management system and a clothing production management method implemented within the management system, which enhances productivity and management efficiency through data and technology linkage with an integrated management service platform related to clothing production and logistics, such as clothing production order management and related material quantity / order management, production management, logistics management, and financial management.
[0006] In order to solve the above-described problem, a production information-based clothing production management system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: at least one production line for producing clothing; a plurality of production tables arranged on the production line, each having a sewing device for manufacturing clothing arranged thereon; an information collection terminal arranged on each of the production tables, each receiving a work history performed at a corresponding production table; and an offline production management server for monitoring the work status of each production line and managing the clothing production process based on the work history received from each of the information collection terminals.
[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a clothing production management method performed in a production information-based clothing production management system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: (a) a step of collecting the work status of a production table for each production line from the information collection terminal; (b) a step of transmitting the collected work status of the production line to an 'online clothing ordering service server'; and (c) a step of creating a new schedule for each production line or adjusting an existing schedule applied to each production line in accordance with a 'new order' received through the 'online clothing ordering service server'.
[0008] At this time, the information collection terminal is powered by a battery and wirelessly transmits a production status signal to a repeater placed adjacent to the production line, and receives unique identifier information (UUID: Universally Unique IDentifier) for the production table using NFC (Near field communication), and the unique identifier information (UUID) includes unique information of the production line, location information of a production table in the production line, and information on a worker performing work at the production table, and the location information may include a physical location of the corresponding production table in the production line and a step-by-step work history at the corresponding production table.
[0009] At this time, the information collection terminal may include an NFC module that receives the unique identifier information (UUID); an input module that receives at least one of a production start signal, a production end signal, and a cancellation signal from a worker operating the sewing device; and a wireless module that transmits a signal input from the input module to the repeater.
[0010] At this time, the input module includes a start button for receiving the production start signal; and an end button for receiving the production end signal, and the wireless module can transmit unique identifier information for the production table and a work execution time corresponding to the input time of the start button and the input time of the end button to the offline production management server through the repeater.
[0011] Meanwhile, the input module may further include a notification lamp indicating a state in which the start button has been input; and a work amount display window that counts and displays the input of the start button and the input of the end button as one task completion.
[0012] In addition, the system further includes an administrator terminal that inputs unique identifier information (UUID) corresponding to each manufacturing step of the production line configuration into an information collection terminal placed on each production table and inputs the inspection results of the manufactured product, and the offline production management server can identify problems in the production line based on an inspection image captured by the administrator terminal.
[0013] In addition, the administrator terminal provides a reference image for inspection of the manufactured product through an administrator inspection application, and the offline production management server can specify the production line or production table that worked on the defective location that occurred beyond the standard ratio.
[0014] At this time, the inspection application for the manager may provide, as a product inspection interface, a pass item for receiving input when there is no defect in the manufactured product; and a defect detection item for receiving input of the details of the defect when there is a defect in the manufactured product.
[0015] At this time, the step (a) may include: (a-0) a step of creating a virtual production line having the same form as the production line by diagramming the indoor location information and unique identifier information (UUID) transmitted from each of the information collection terminals; (a-1) a step of deriving real-time clothing production status data for each production line by synthesizing the work details input from each of the information collection terminals by item; and (a-2) a step of deriving the 'order availability' and 'expected schedule for new orders' for each production line based on the clothing production status data for each production line.
[0016] According to the production information-based clothing production management system according to the present invention,
[0017] First, it is possible to efficiently manage resources such as time opportunity costs and labor required for changes, adjustments, applications, and operations of production tables, production / inspection processes, and production lines by clothing style.
[0018] Second, through O2O data conversion management of production status at clothing production sites, inefficiencies and leakages in production efficiency and productivity, such as workload bottlenecks within production lines and processes, and difficulties in capturing broken / idle equipment and labor, can be minimized.
[0019] Third, by linking with the apparel production quantity / order system platform (a function of the 'Apparel Business Service Platform') and actual production data, etc., production efficiency for each apparel production process and production line can be maximized, thereby enabling data-driven production management in apparel production management.

[0026] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Please note that, where possible, identical components are represented by identical reference numerals throughout the drawings. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may obscure the gist of the present invention will be omitted. For the same reason, some components in the attached drawings are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted.
[0027] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a production information-based clothing production management system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram explaining an information collection terminal according to one embodiment.
[0028] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a production information-based clothing production management system (1000) according to the present invention will first be described.
[0029] A production information-based clothing production management system (1000) is disclosed to implement an integrated management service platform related to clothing production and logistics, such as clothing production orders and material quantity / order management for the same, production management, logistics management, and financial management, and includes a production line (L1, L2, L3) for producing clothing, a production table (T1, T2, T3) on which a sewing device (i.e., a sewing machine) for manufacturing clothing is arranged, an information collection terminal (IC1, IC2, IC3) for receiving work details performed on the production table (T1, T2, T3), an offline production management server (100), a status monitor (M), and an online clothing ordering service server (200).
[0030] Typically, one production line produces one garment, but depending on the garment order, multiple production lines may produce the same garment, or each production line may produce a different type of garment.
[0031] The present invention discloses a method for effectively managing production lines by synthesizing the progress of each production line, the status of orders, etc., to prevent idle production lines. According to the present invention, individual workers' production performance can be monitored in real time, measuring their proficiency, and thus reconfiguring the production line to improve its efficiency.
[0032] A garment manufacturing plant may have multiple production lines (L1, L2, L3). While Figure 1 illustrates three production lines, this is for convenience of explanation. The layout of the production lines and the number of production tables on each production line may vary.
[0033] Production tables (T1 to T5) are arranged on a production line, and sewing devices (S1, to S5) for manufacturing garments are respectively arranged thereon. In other words, a table equipped with a sewing device (sewing machine) is a production table. In Fig. 1, the production line (L1) is composed of five production tables (T1, T2, to T5). The illustrated content is a schematic example for concise explanation, and the length of the production line can be set by adjusting the number of production tables according to the manufacturing stage of the garment to be produced. For example, if garments are manufactured through a seven-stage process, a production line can be constructed using seven production tables.
[0034] The information collection terminal (IC) is placed at each production table (T) and receives the ‘work history’ performed at the corresponding production table.
[0035] The information collection terminal (IC) transmits indoor location information, unique identifier information (UUID: Universally Unique IDentifier), and production status signal of the deployed production table (T) on the production line to the offline production management server (100).
[0036] Depending on the implementation method, a relay (J) may be used to transmit information input from each information collection terminal (IC) to an offline production management server (100) depending on the scale of the production line (L1, L2, L3). In some cases, for example, the information collection terminal (IC) may store a production status signal in the device itself, and when the manager terminal (K) is close, it may be implemented in a way that it collects the data in batches using a short-range communication method - for example, NFC - and transmits the collected data to the offline production management server (100).
[0037] The information collection terminal (IC) receives unique identifier information (UUID: Universally Unique IDentifier) for the production table using NFC (Near field communication).
[0038] That is, the input process of the unique identifier information (UUID) corresponds to the initial setting of the information collection terminal (IC).
[0039] The unique identifier information (UUID) includes unique information of the production line (L1, L2, L3), location information of the production table (T1, T2, ~ T5) in the production line (L1, L2, L3), and information of the worker performing the work in the production table (T1, T2, ~ T5).
[0040] Here, the location information includes the physical location of the corresponding production table (T1, T2, ~ T5) in the production line (L1, L2, L3) and the step-by-step work history performed in the corresponding production table (T1, T2, ~ T5).
[0041] That is, the unique information of a production line (L1, L2, L3) is information that confirms which production line among L1, L2, and L3 the information collection terminal (IC) is located on. The location information of the production table is information that confirms which production table it is among tables T1, T2, ~ T5 of the production line. The step-by-step work details are the work details assigned to the corresponding production table.
[0042] As explained, the unique identifier information (UUID) corresponds to a unique identification number for distinguishing multiple information collection terminals (IC), and can be implemented by inserting and recognizing a worker's ID card, etc., or by having a manager managing the production line manually input the unique identifier information (UUID) into the information collection terminal (IC) through a manager terminal (K).
[0043] The production table (T) may change its placement depending on the type of clothing to be produced, production schedule, production line adjustment, etc.
[0044] For reasons such as ease of location change, it is desirable for information collection terminals (ICs) to transmit information wirelessly.
[0045] If necessary, a repeater (J) placed adjacent to the production line can transmit information received from multiple information collection terminals (IC-1, IC-2, etc.) to an offline production management server (100). The repeater (J) is selected depending on the environment of the production line and is not an essential component, and multiple information collection terminals (IC-1, IC-2, etc.) can each transmit information to the offline production management server (100).
[0046] Figure 2 is a block diagram of an information collection terminal (IC) according to one embodiment. The information collection terminal (IC) includes a sensor module (11), an input module (12), a communication module (13), a display module (14), an NFC module (15), and a QR reader module (16).
[0047] The information collection terminal (IC) can be implemented using a tablet PC or a device such as Arduino. In the simplified embodiment, the sensor module (11) and display module (14) may be omitted. Additionally, the NFC module (15) may be implemented in an integrated form with the communication module (13).
[0048] The NFC module (15) receives unique identifier information (UUID) through the administrator terminal (K).
[0049] The sensor module (11) measures the operation (i.e., the operation history) of the sewing device (S). The sensor module (11) measures the type of sewing performed in the sewing device (S), the number of reciprocating movements of the needle, the time taken for sewing, the amount of thread consumed, etc.
[0050] The input module (12) receives work history signals such as a production start signal, a production end signal, and a cancellation signal from a worker operating the sewing device (S). The input module (12) can be implemented as a physical input means such as a keyboard or button.
[0051] The input module (12) includes a start button (12a) that receives a production start signal as a physical button and an end button (12b) that receives a production end signal.
[0052] A start button and an end button may be provided separately. Alternatively, the start button and the end button may be implemented as a single button, and the current status may be indicated by lighting up when pressed.
[0053] For example, assuming that a task of attaching sleeves to a top is performed at production table 2 (T2) of production line L1, a worker can input the task details performed at the production table by pressing the start button (12a) for inputting a production start signal, performing the sleeve attachment task, and then pressing the end button (12b) for inputting a production end signal at the completion point. If the start button and the end button are implemented as a single button, the button can be implemented in a way that pressing the start button lights up, and pressing it once more to end the task turns off the light.
[0054] The QR reader module (16) recognizes the unique number (i.e., the product number) of the garment currently being produced to manage the history of the "work." The "product number" is in the form of a QR code (or barcode) and is attached to an appropriate location on the product. When manufacturing a top, it can be attached to the torso, which is the main part of the top.
[0055] For example, when a worker completes the task of attaching sleeves to a top at production table 2 (T2) of the L1 production line, the QR reader module (16) recognizes the unique number of the corresponding product, so that [Production information: Worker of sleeve attachment task: Working time = Working details] can be acquired as a single data set. (i.e., QR recognition after work)
[0056] Meanwhile, depending on the work method, the 'product unique number' is first recognized through the QR reader module (16), and then the start button (12a) is pressed to perform the work, and then the end button (12b) is pressed to input the work details performed on the corresponding production table. (i.e., QR recognition before work) In this method, if the worker presses the start button (12a) first without inputting the 'product unique number' through the QR reader module (16), the worker can be notified of the input of the QR reader module (16) by means of a sound alarm or vibration.
[0057] Meanwhile, the data set of [Product Information: Worker of Retail Combination Work: Working Hours] mentioned is only an example for concise explanation, and additional information such as order information, color, size, etc. of the product (clothing) may be included as needed.
[0058] According to various embodiments of the present invention, the sensor module (11) can measure and recognize the type of sewing performed in the sewing device (S), the number of round trips of the needle, the time for performing sewing, the amount of thread consumed, etc., so that the input of a production start signal and a production end signal can be automatically input. The communication module (13) transmits the signals input from the sensor module (11), the input module (12), and the QR reader module (16) to the offline production management server (100).
[0059] The communication module (13) transmits unique identifier information for the production table and the work execution time corresponding to the input time of the start button and the input time of the end button to the offline production management server (100).
[0060] The offline production management server (100) monitors the work status of each production line based on work details received from each information collection terminal (IC-1, ... to IC-5) and manages the clothing production process.
[0061] The offline production management server (100) is located in a clothing manufacturing plant where production lines (L1, .. ~ L3) are located (however, it may be installed in a remote location if necessary).
[0062] The offline production management server (100) synthesizes the work history input from each information collection terminal (IC-1, ... to IC-5) by item, so that the manager can easily check the production status of each production line.
[0063] The offline production management server (100) can load / extract / process and output data on the overall production status or individual results for each garment type, or provide insights that can improve productivity. Additional dashboards, reports, statistics, and other information may be provided as needed. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the offline production management server (100) can further provide an interface for inspecting manufactured goods.
[0064] The offline production management server (100) monitors the production lines (L1, .. ~ L3) in detail for each production table, so that work bottlenecks can be easily discovered and improvements can be easily derived.
[0065] The Status Monitor (M) is a display device placed adjacent to the production line (L1, ... ~ L3) to facilitate the identification of work bottlenecks and other issues. It synthesizes and outputs work information received from each information collection terminal (IC-1, ... ~ IC-5) by item. Field managers can quickly address any issues by checking the Status Monitor (M).
[0066] Figure 4 is a perspective view and an actual object of an information collection terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0067] Referring to Fig. 4, the information collection terminal (IC) includes a physical start button and an end button. It also includes a notification lamp and a workload display window that can confirm that work is in progress. The notification lamp and the workload display window are embodiments of the display module (14).
[0068] The worker places his / her information collection terminal (IC) in an appropriate location on the production table (i.e., a location convenient for the worker), presses the start button (12a), and performs the task. When the start button (12a) is touched, the notification lamp (14a) lights up, indicating that the start button has been activated.
[0069] When the worker completes the task, he / she operates the end button (12b) to indicate that the task has been completed. When the end button (12b) is touched, the notification lamp (14a) turns off so that the worker can recognize this.
[0070] In the illustrated example, the QR reader module (16) is implemented separately from the main body of the information collection terminal (IC). Since not all tasks require recognition of the "product's unique number," the QR reader module (16) can be implemented in a form connected via USB.
[0071] The information collection terminal (IC) can determine the actual worker's work performance time corresponding to the difference in the operation time of each button through the start button (12a) and the end button (12b), i.e., the actual work time required for one unit.
[0072] Additionally, the information collection terminal (IC) includes a workload display window. The workload display window displays the worker's workload in increments of "1" each time the start and end buttons are pressed in a cycle.
[0073] The offline production management server (100) synthesizes the work history input from each information collection terminal (IC-1, ... to IC-5) by item, so that the manager can easily check the production status of each production line.
[0074] According to this configuration, the production status information includes not only the daily / hourly production quantity of products, but also the actual working speed and waiting time of workers, so it is easy to check where backlogs (i.e. waiting situations) occur in the production line.
[0075] Figure 5 is an example of an inspection application running on an administrator terminal, and Figure 6 is an example of an inspection management interface on an offline production management server.
[0076] In the present invention, the offline production management server (100) receives the inspection results of a manufactured product through an administrator terminal (K). The offline production management server (100) provides an "inspection application for administrators" implemented on the administrator terminal (K). The interface of the "inspection application for administrators" can be implemented via a web connection (i.e., a general-purpose browser) or can be implemented in the form of a dedicated browser (i.e., a dedicated app).
[0077] The administrator terminal (K) described herein may be implemented on the same hardware as the device that inputs unique identifier information (UUID) into the information collection terminal (IC) described above. Alternatively, it may be implemented as an app installed on a general-purpose information and communication device, such as a mobile terminal, as needed. The illustrated example illustrates an administrator inspection application running on a mobile terminal carried by an individual administrator.
[0078] Managers inspect manufactured products by taking pictures of them. This does not mean identifying defects using AI image recognition. Rather, managers visually identify defects and input a pass / fail rating into an inspection application for managers.
[0079] The specific steps of this procedure are as follows:
[0080] When the administrator runs the 'Administrator Inspection Application' on the administrator terminal (K) and takes a picture of the product's unique number (i.e., QR code) attached to the product (※The product's unique number is in the form of a QR code or barcode and is attached to an appropriate location on the product), the image of the product that was previously taken is displayed on the screen.
[0081] Here, the ‘pre-photographed image’ refers to the manufactured product matching the corresponding unique number (i.e., the image of the reference product), and is not a photograph of the product currently being inspected.
[0082] The inspection application for administrators provides front and back images of the reference product and detailed images of specific parts.
[0083] If the manager examines the product in question and compares it with the image of the reference product and determines that it is a defective and acceptable product, he / she selects the 'Quality Pass' item displayed on the interface screen of the 'Manager Inspection Application' and performs unique number recognition for the next product to conduct inspection of the next product.
[0084] If a defect is found in the product, select the 'Select Defects' item displayed on the interface screen of the 'Inspection Application for Managers'.
[0085] When "Select Defects" is selected, the "Inspection Application for Managers" displays the parts for each production line and worker, overlaid on the product image. For simplicity, only parts ① and ② are shown in Figure 5 as examples.
[0086] If a defect is found in part ②, the worker selects ②, takes a picture of the defective part, and enters it into the ‘Inspection Application for Managers.’
[0087] Inspection information entered through the ‘inspection application for managers’ is transmitted to the offline production management server (100) and is later used for defect tracking through analysis.
[0088] This "Administrator Inspection Application" recognizes the unique product number (i.e., QR code) attached to a product and provides an image of a reference product. This allows managers to easily identify differences in color, size, and detailed design based on order information. Therefore, even when inspecting multiple types of products due to low-volume, high-variety production, inspection can be performed flawlessly.
[0089] The offline production management server (100) identifies problems in the production line based on inspection images captured by the administrator terminal (K). To this end, the offline production management server (100) provides an 'inspection management interface' as illustrated in FIG. 6.
[0090] Defects in work products that exceed the standard ratio can be checked through the offline production management server (100) inspection management interface.
[0091] The "Inspection Management Interface" verifies production line information for a product and worker information for each production table on the line, allowing you to determine whether a defect is due to an individual worker or a problem with the line layout. In other words, the "Inspection Management Interface" allows you to statistically review detailed information on each task, making it easy to determine whether the defect rate is decreasing or whether there is consistency in the defects as the production line operates.
[0092]
[0093] "Online Clothing Ordering Service Server (200)"
[0094] The online clothing ordering service server (200) provides a "clothing business service platform." While the offline production management server (100) of a single clothing manufacturing factory in a city is connected to the online clothing ordering service server (200), the offline production management servers of different clothing manufacturing factories can be connected to the "clothing business service platform" through membership registration or business agreements. In other words, production efficiency management is possible by linking APIs.
[0095] A customer can order (place) clothing by accessing the online clothing ordering service server (200) through a customer terminal (300).
[0096] The online clothing ordering service server (200) receives and initiates the work status of the clothing factory from the offline production management server (100), so that the customer can place an order for clothing by referring to the status of the production line of the factory.
[0097] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing clothing production based on indoor location information according to the present invention. Even if the indoor location information-based clothing production management system (1000) illustrated in FIG. 1 is implemented in a time-series fashion, the same applies to this embodiment, so the parts described in the production lines (L1, L2, L3), production tables (T1, T2, T3), information collection terminals (IC1, IC2, IC3), offline production management server (100), status monitor (M), and online clothing ordering service server (200) are also applied to this embodiment.
[0098] A method for managing clothing production based on indoor location information according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of collecting work status (S100), a step of initiating an online clothing ordering service on a service server (S200), and a step of adjusting a schedule according to a new order (S300).
[0099] At step S100, the offline production management server (100) collects the work status of each production table (T-1, ,,, T-5) for each production line from each information collection terminal (IC-1, .. IC-5).
[0100] At this time, step S100 includes a step of creating a virtual production line in the same form as the production line by diagramming the indoor location information and unique identifier information (UUID) transmitted from each information collection terminal (S110), a step of deriving real-time clothing production status data for each production line by synthesizing the work details input from each information collection terminal (IC-1, .. IC-5) by item (S120), and a step of deriving the 'order availability' and 'expected schedule for new orders' for each production line based on the clothing production status data for each production line (L1, L2, L3) (S120).
[0101] That is, the offline production management server (100) generates a virtual production line of the same form as the production line by diagramming the indoor location information and unique identifier information (UUID) transmitted from each information collection terminal. The generated virtual production line can be simulated in a manner that it is recombined to form a production line with optimal production efficiency when a new order occurs. The simulation can be performed in a manner that the manager arbitrarily recombines the production table, or it can be performed by an artificial intelligence method such as an optimal route generation method using a machine learning method.
[0102] At step S200, the offline production management server (100) transmits the collected work status of the production line to the 'online clothing ordering service server (200).
[0103] At this time, step S200 may transmit information on the virtual production line created in step S110, data on the clothing production status for each production line derived in step S120, and the 'orderable quantity' and 'expected schedule for new orders' derived in step S120 to the 'online clothing ordering service server'.
[0104] At step S300, a new schedule can be created for each production line in accordance with the 'new order' received through the 'online clothing ordering service server (200)' or the existing schedule applied to each production line can be adjusted.
[0105] In other words, when a "new order" for clothing production occurs, a simulation can be conducted to reconfigure virtual production lines based on garment production status data for each production line, creating a new, optimized schedule. This enables effective production line management.
[0106] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed in this specification and drawings are merely specific examples intended to facilitate easy explanation of the technical content of the present invention and aid understanding thereof, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical concepts of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
