Automation of production in the textile and footwear industry: step by step over the pressure of the Industrial Revolution 4.0

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 with robotic and AI (artificial intelligence) is threatening outsourcing, the application of LEAN manufacturing, automation in operation monitoring will help the textile, leather and footwear industries reduce costs, improve labor productivity and gradually respond to the pressure of alternative technologies.

In the footwear sector, Nike and Adidas are the first two big players apply robots to the production process, reduce the dependence of labor. In the textiles sector, the technology also applies in the textile chain, enhancing the bulk garments to increase the rate of automated applications and robots. That is making it difficult for the outsourcing business.

In Vietnam, textiles and footwear are spearhead industries with high export value. In addition, foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises have also invested heavily in outsourcing, bringing in benefits as well as arranging jobs for millions of workers. With the existing fierce competition, what should the machining enterprises do to improve the situation?

In fact, the factors that make outsourcing process less effective are mainly wasteful in production. The ineffectiveness of production wastes has reduced productivity, yields and orders are not delivered on time, resulting in reduced productivity. With fashionable characteristics, apparel and footwear can not be replaced by complete roulette. Therefore, the application of measures to optimize and reduce waste is the first and most effective way to do so.

Automated production monitoring Andon technology helps factories monitor the operation status of machinery systems, lines and workers. Continuous, real-time monitoring makes it easy to spot instantaneous, stagnant, easy-to-maneuver and remedied operations. The system also monitors the frequency of use of the machines, ensuring that the downtime is measured, which helps the manager, the manager optimally in the work assignments of each phase, eliminating the time period dead time The solution offers outstanding efficiency in saving wasted time in terms of machinery and workers.

Automated production monitoring helps textile and footwear businesses improve efficiency, ensure supply and enhance sustainable competitiveness.
