平行制造及其在纺织鞋服产业中的应用

 分析了如何借助机器视觉、VR等新型智能技术将工业机器人和工业物联网应用于纺织鞋服装行业，提出平行制造的架构体系，以此为基础打造全球化分布式的柔性供应链，实现对传统产业的智能化转换。平行制造综合应用工业机器人、物联网、云计算和计算机视觉技术，打造与车间高度自动化的生产设备同步进行决策管控的云端虚拟工厂，同时与终端无人化的制衣和制鞋工厂相结合，虚实互动、终端制造、云端管控，构建基于工业互联网的全球化分布式协同生产管理平台。以宁波慈星股份有限公司的“云制造”平台为例，阐释了平行制造如何使得针织鞋服产品的大规模柔性“按需”生产成为可能，平台有效提升了劳动生产率、降低了生产成本、减少用工人数。

Parallel manufacturing for textile,footwear and garment industries

This paper concerns how to apply machine vision and virtual-reality technologies into industrial robots and Internet of Things and to combine big data and cloud computing to construct a parallel manufacturing infrastructure. A worldwide flexible supply chain of footwear and garment industries is introduced to demonstrate the workflow and efficiency of parallel manufacturing. Firstly, a virtual factory is constructed in the cloud, where management policies and decision control data are synchronized with the data generated by highly automated production equipment in the workshop. The virtual factory, executing in parallel with the physical one, supplies tested and optimized decisions and guides the production process in physical factories. To provide worldwide service, a global and distributed cooperative production management platform is built based on the industrial Internet of Things, namely CIXING's cloud manufacturing platform. It operates with low production cost, high work efficiency and reduced labor numbers. It has also been listed as one of the national intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration project by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
