Application of smart factory in the field of high-class garment production (Part 2)

The application of Big Data and Process Modeling are the key factors that determine the success of the Hugo Boss smart factory.

In order for an organization to operate smoothly and smoothly, each employee in the organization abandons the notion that their job is only in the area they are in charge. Of course, this does not mean that their workload increases but actually they just need to focus on completing the assigned tasks.

For example, at Hugo boss, before each start of a shift, restarting and preparing will take about 40 minutes. To overcome this problem, managers called on workers to spend 5 minutes after every shift to clean, organize and calibrate equipment. Thanks to that, the operator of the after shift can almost start work immediately.

Usually, the number of errors will be proportional to the scale of the production. However, with the support of science and technology, it is possible to limit errors. More than 1600 tablets have been integrated with sensors to track errors in the process; thereby red flag and leave note so that the operators do not repeat this error.

More than 1,000 production activities were carried out simultaneously in the Hugo Boss factory through operating computer systems. Although there is no need for direct manipulation, people still need to constantly improve their management skills to monitor whether the machines are operating effectively or not.

In addition, the constant updating of parameters obtained from the sensor in real time can provide predictions about the risk of equipment failure, so that the operator can know in advance to perform maintenance. maintenance prevention. This also helps Hugo Boss save a large amount of money for solving the consequences of unexpected incidents during the production process.

The artificial intelligence operating system even predicts when employees leave the company, allowing Hugo Boss to hire and train new employees before the former employee leaves. The same principle works but the technology of “Digital twins” is not aimed at workers. This technology is used by Hugo Boss to model the experimental production lines, so the introduction of new products is no longer as expensive as before.

In general, the application of modern technology has completely changed the production apparatus of Hugo Boss in a positive way, improving the competitiveness of the company and gaining more and more trust from customers.
