If sales are the most important task in the chain of production and business activities of enterprises, production management is the next important task. Optimization in production management is an important and necessary job of any manufacturing enterprise in general and the garment industry in particular. RFID technology in particular has been and is an inevitable choice for most companies in the world as optimal salvation.
Grasping the weaknesses of the garment industry, we focus on smart solutions for the garment industry. Production Management Systems in Garment Industry is a combination of solutions: smart warehouse management, production management system.
The garment manufacturing process management solution applies RFID technology, providing you with an overall and transparent picture about storage – rotation of inputs (raw materials – accessories, equipment, machine, people…) and output (semi-finished products, finished products,…) an efficient intelligent production process. From the factory to the distributor, to the retailer, and finally to the customer. Financial experts assess how RFID technology can save apparel companies billions of dollars, it provides data. Fast and accurate data of different items located in different locations at any time.
Features of the garment manufacturing process management solution:
– Tracking the stages of the production process
* Track production steps
* Data acquisition at the workstation (PC) and real-time synchronization with the server
* Show dashboard for manager/supervisor
– Measure the KPI’s worker by stage in production
* Worker start/end time,
* Finished products quantity
* Apply KPI for workers.
– Measure production efficiency in each stage
* Quantity of semi-finished products, lead time for each stage
* Defective goods quantity at each stage
– Warehouse management (Smart warehouse Management System – SWMS)
* Track export/import/inventory: materials, semi-finished products, and finished products (cartons, pallets, …)
* Stocktaking
* Warehouse management by location (Bin Location)
* Warehouse transfer
* Picking and placing orders (Picking and putting)
* Searching (Searching)

Brief description about the solution:
The fabric will be spread and cut in batches through automatic cutting software to optimize based on the fabric size as possible. After the fabric is cutting, it will be bundled into bundles with RFID tags. The bundle will be distributed to the sewing room and the workers. The worker will swipe the chip card to the reader at the machine to confirm the start of the batch processing. The bundle will be rotated through different stages such as (sewing, thread trimming, ironing, needle checking,…) and recorded through the readers. The end of the sewing process can be finished goods or semi-finished products. Finished goods will be attached with separate RFID chips in each product and packed into each box. These boxes will be checked for the last time with information (size, color, quantity, PO number,…) through the inspection system at the finished product warehouse.
The process of rotating through the stages will record the worker’s KPI during the processing process. The processing amount of each team will be displayed on the statistics screen to encourage and promote between the groups.
