Integrated Information Labeling for Traceable Footwear Manufacturing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods of adding identification information to three-dimensional objects, such as body wear articles, risk impairing their original appearance and functionality, particularly in products like clothing and footwear.
Innovation Solution
A body wear article is manufactured with an information label that includes identification information, joined to the main body during the manufacturing process using three-dimensional lamination, ensuring the original appearance and functionality while enabling traceability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If identification information is added directly to the surface or interior of the product, then traceability is improved, but the original appearance and functionality of the product is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The identification information is segmented from the main product body and placed on a separate information label. This label can be attached to or integrated with the product without modifying the product's original appearance or functionality, while still providing the necessary traceability information.
Solution Approach 2:
An information label acts as an intermediary carrier for identification information. Instead of directly embedding identification data into the product, the label serves as a mediator that provides traceability while preserving the product's original state and appearance.
2Loss of information
If identification information is added directly to the product, then traceability is improved, but the functionality of the product is impaired
Solution Approach 1:
The identification system is segmented into a separate information label that does not interfere with the product's functional components. This ensures that the product's functionality remains intact while traceability is achieved through the attached label.
Solution Approach 2:
The information label serves as an intermediary that provides traceability information without interfering with the product's functional operations. The label can be removed or detached without affecting the product's functionality.
