02 Wei Qiao textile built the world's first "textile AI"Workshop: everywhere" unique 」

With the helpAITechnology, originally specialized knowledge can be mastered by ordinary people, and the work that originally required ten people to complete now only needs one person. In the world's largest textile enterprises, "the world500Strong "Wei Qiao Venture Group's workshop, can be seen everywhereAITechnology does not show off its skills, but aims at problems, is closely related to the production process, and continuously generates value.

Spinning cotton into yarn generally goes through the main processes of clearing flowers, carding, rolling, combing, drawing, spinning, packaging, etc. In the past, these processes relied on "human sea tactics", with hundreds of spinners circling a pile of machines. But high-tech intervention has changed the traditional model.——benefit from12.5Ten thousand spindles intelligent production line, where all the spinning process is automated.

Entering the workshop, the neatly arranged equipment of various colors runs in an orderly manner, but few people move around. Instead, the "robots" that can be seen everywhere are becoming the protagonists in the workshop. For example, the most intuitive packaging link. As one of the main links of the spinning industry, packaging was originally synonymous with "hard work, hard work.

But this workshop was built with a length35Kilometers of track, roving from the first floor to the second floor automatic storage, the whole process without any human direct participation.

04 ChinaAITechnology Challenges Human Fashion DesignersFashion Tide New Favorite

A few days ago, in2019In the China International Fashion Design Innovation Competition, a "non-human designer" won the runner-up of the competition, which attracted the attention of the industry. This "artificial intelligence player" comes from Deep Lan TechnologyDeepVogueApparel-aided design system.

According to the technical team, the system is based on precise artificial intelligence deep learning technology algorithms, usingGAN(Build an adversarial network),VAE(variational autoencoder)With advanced technologies such as learning together, designers can set the design theme or key words they want as long as they import the materials such as fashion show maps and product photos they have collected into the system, and generate thousands of non-duplicate design drawings in one second, which can effectively shorten the design time of designers and train unique for brands.AIcalculation, while ensuring the unity of clothing brand tonality.

The organizers of the competition said that the future fashion trend will be driven by scientific and technological innovation and cultural creativity. Therefore, this year's competition specially invited leading enterprises in China's artificial intelligence industry to participate in the competition. It is hoped that through this move, the re-deconstruction of science and technology and fashion is attempted. Through a large number of user purchase behavior data and social network wear picture data in the industry, artificial intelligence algorithm can adjust the market and sales strategy for the clothing industry, increase sales volume and reduce inventory. On the other hand, it is also hoped that consumers who passively accept fashion information can reshape their own fashion and let artificial intelligence create their own fashion trend for everyone.

The on-site public review also said that they were not worried about artificial intelligence replacing fashion designers, but according to the results of the competition, artificial intelligence transformed big data into fashion design scientifically and systematically, which was quite amazing, and the clothing style was also in line with the public's aesthetics, reflecting the high level of integration of technology and fashion.

In the future, textile and garment enterprise management or will beAIChange

Used by Amazon.AITo decide whether to recruit or not, and eventually because of the voices of opposition and abolished. Well, now Amazon has changed a method to useAITo decide whether to fire an employee.

The first to bear the brunt is the Amazon shipping warehouse picking workers, clothing factory packaging workers pay attention! Amazon uses digital trackers to monitor how quickly they pick and pack items from the shelves, with strict timing and targets. Originally Amazon's requirement for employees was to pack hourly80This requirement was later raised to hourly.120pieces. Some employees said that this is almost impossible to complete, and4000Employees have jointly petitioned for Amazon to lower its target.15%.

The work of the workers was already intense enough. What's even more shocking is that Amazon's system can also manage and limit the time employees leave their jobs! This in the clothing industry can hardly think! Unable to completeKPIAnd under the dual pressure of system monitoring, many employees dare not drink water or go to the toilet. Because the toilet is too far away, a round trip may be required.10Minutes, someone chose to settle in the aisle with a plastic bottle. This is too sad!

According to a survey, Amazon3/4Employees are afraid of wasting time by going to the toilet. Not only warehouse workers, but also distributors are running at high speed. In order to complete the distribution target, their excretion problem is also solved in the car.

What is this supervision system, which Amazon employees regard as a tiger, like?

According to relevant documents, the system tracks the productivity of each employee and automatically generates work efficiency reports without the advice of a human supervisor, and further issues warnings or decisions to terminate labor agreements. In other words, Amazon's employees are going or staying, all controlled by an emotionless, cold automated robot. It says if you let you go, you can't stay.

What's more, this system can not only score the work efficiency of employees, but also monitor and accurately calculate the "fishing" time of employees! If the employee does not scan the package for a long time, the "fishing prosecutor" will automatically issue a warning. If someone does not change after repeated teaching, it is good to be dismissed directly. It is such an automated system that makes Amazon employees miserable. Imagine such a decisive and vigorous system used in the clothing industry, is really the slightest chance to drag the water!

Whether it's spitting or fighting injustice, automated regulation is undoubtedly the big trend of the future. Now, Amazon isn't the only one monitoring employees with automated systems. According to the survey, there are organizations in all walks of life around the world.22% are recording employee activity data,17% is monitoring employee work computer usage data,16% Using employee email or schedule data. Wal-Mart has developed a monitoring system for cashiers that can predict whether cashiers are working efficiently based on the sound of bags and the speed of scanning bar codes. Foxconn factories in China cooperate with security companies such as Haikang and Pengsi to use video cameras to judge whether production line workers are working hard or lazy......

In fact, any possible items/Equipped with a small chip, you can let all your information exposed. Maximum degree"Press"Employees, Amazon has done it... In the future, clothing smart factories will useAlWill it be far to come to the supervisor?

Summary

Artificial intelligence has swept through almost every industry and has become a new economic growth point and the focus of international competitiveness.It has had a profound impact on our work and lifestyle. This technological boom will also have a subversive impact on the development of the textile and garment industry.
