Apparel Industry

The Application

What do we build for them?

What Functions Of System do They Need?

• To allow tracking and usage of the fabric roll. It handles the entire life-cycle of the fabric roll.
• To allow quick receipt of goods for GRN via the QR code scanning. Each shipment may contain a few hundred to thousands of rolls. 
• To use the QRcode for faster issue for the work order material requirements.
• To be able to analyze the roll count in the warehouse as well as the practical yardage usage in terms of roll length. 

What Are The Usages Of This App For Apparel Industry?

• As fabric constitutes a major part of the cost in Garment manufacturing, the accurate receiving and issuing of the fabric rolls is critical. 
• By using QR code, they can handle huge quantities of fabrics in the region of 10,000 rolls to support large production facilities. 
• Intainer that are used to store the fabric rolls can be identified with a unique QR code and tagged to a physical location in the warehouse so roll fabric locations can be tracked easily. 
• Fabric rolls information on the Dye Lot can also be easily tracked.

“Before we had the Roll-Management (RM) system we did not have any digital system that could provide visual tracking and monitoring of our fabric rolls in our warehouse. We needed a system that could track each roll individually throughout its life-cycle.”

All Features Of This App To Meet Their Needs

Roll Tagging

The Result Achieved After Using Role-Management

“The result we achieved was we managed to fully integrate our Sage X3 ERP system with the RM system to fulfil the following areas: Goods Receipt and Material Issue via work orders. Where the goods will be received via RM and then uploaded to the Sage GRN transactions.  Similarly, any work order material issues will be carried out in RM and then reported to the Sage Work order tracking which tightly integrates things smoothly.”

What Functions Of System do They Need?

• To allow inline QC to be carried out on the production floor.
• Record any QC issues, linking the sewer to the quality issues and with follow-up action.
• Integrate to the endline QC system to match the type of quality issues and the repeatability of defects.

What Are The Usages Of This App For Apparel Industry?

• Check at every stage of production quality to rectify quality issues immediately and ensure a good quality product at the end of the sewing line, ready for a final inspection.
• Identify training areas and skill level of sewers using statistics. Common quality issues can be identified and improvements can be targeted into these areas.

All Features Of This App To Meet Their Needs

Staging Preparation Function

• Retrieve the Style to be made in the production line, getting this information from FastReact.
• Allocate the different sewing steps to different sewers based on the information from Skillmath.

Batch round inspection

• The Inline QC inspector will initiate a new round, and the inspector will go round the line by each sewer. 
• From a batch of 5 pieces, the quality check will be made for that sewer operation, and the quality issue will be recorded if any defect is found. 
• The inspector will still mark the quality check as complete checking even there’s no defect. Any follow-up action will also be captured in the system.

Various Dashboards

Various dashboards will be available to display different quality breakdown issues.
