Can a hanging system boost both efficiency & quality in clothing production?

Intelligent Hanging System: A Double Leap in Efficiency and Quality

GOODTEX Factory has fully adopted the advanced intelligent hanging production system, enabling the entire process from fabric cutting to garment manufacturing to be fully automated. The application of this system has brought about significant manufacturing advantages:

Production efficiency has significantly improved: The garment pieces are automatically transferred from the air-hanging system to each workstation, completely eliminating the traditional manual handling and waiting times. The system can balance the workload of each workstation in real time, automatically distributing the semi-finished products to the workstations with the lowest inventory of work-in-progress, effectively addressing the issue of operational worker efficiency differences and achieving balanced production throughout the line.

Highly flexible production: Supports the parallel production of multiple styles and specifications of products on the same assembly line, meeting the demand for small-batch, multi-variety quick response orders. Combined with the digital management platform, GOODTEX has the "7-day rapid response" capability, which can flexibly meet the high requirements of European and American customers for delivery time and customization.

Transparent management: Using RFID technology, real-time production data for each finished product is collected. Managers can view the output of each workstation, individual efficiency, and rework rate at any time. The large screen in the workshop clearly displays the bottleneck processes and abnormal issues, facilitating prompt intervention and adjustment.

Work environment optimization: The hanging system enables semi-finished products to be neatly suspended in the air. The workshop floor is clean and orderly, completely eliminating the traditional situation of mountains of unfinished products. The simple and bright production site effectively supports 6S management, significantly improving the efficiency of on-site management.

Enhanced quality control: Real-time tracking of rework data helps the quality team identify and eliminate the root causes of problems at the earliest possible time, reducing quality losses. The system can also be linked with the inspection equipment to automatically complete the inspection process, ensuring that exported products meet safety standards.

Professional Pattern Development Team: Precise Development, Shortened Sample Cycle

Product development capability is one of the core competitiveness of clothing manufacturing enterprises. GOODTEX has an internal pattern development team of 10 members, with an average working experience of over 8 years. They are proficient in pattern-making techniques for knitted and woven tops, dresses, and sweatshirts, etc. Team members are well-versed in industry-leading software such as Gerber and Lectra, possess both manual pattern-making and digital layout capabilities, and are skilled in the cutting techniques for complex styles. With profound experience and efficient collaboration, the team can complete sample development within 7 to 15 days (depending on the complexity of the style), effectively supporting the company's rapid prototyping and small-batch customization services.

The pattern-making team works closely with designers and purchasing staff. Without sacrificing the pattern design and sense, they optimize the paper pattern structure to enhance the production efficiency of the bulk goods. The team regularly participates in technical training and continuously learns about the characteristics of new fabrics, sewing techniques, and fitting standards, ensuring the continuous output of high-quality samples.

Order Management and QC Team: Comprehensive Control, Uninterrupted Communication

GOODTEX has a professional order management and QC team of 20 people, covering the entire process from material procurement, sample confirmation, production follow-up to delivery coordination. All order management personnel possess fluent English communication skills and are familiar with the cultural habits and compliance requirements of European and American customers, enabling them to communicate via emails, phone calls, and video conferences without language barriers. The team can proactively identify potential risks in the production and logistics processes and provide solutions in advance to avoid delivery delays or quality incidents.

The QC team sets up multiple quality inspection points during the production process and collaborates with the order tracking team to monitor the production progress and quality data in real time, ensuring that the finished products fully meet the customer standards. The company also has the experience of coordinating with international third-party inspection agencies such as SGS, BV, and Intertek to ensure that the products meet the quality and compliance requirements of the buyers before shipment.

Product Structure and Capacity Distribution

With years of industry experience, GOODTEX has established a clear product structure:

T-shirts, sweatshirts and sports pants account for 60% of the total production capacity.

Woven tops and dresses account for 20%.

Knitted sweaters account for 20%.

The company strictly adheres to international social responsibility standards and has obtained BSCI certification. It undergoes an audit every two years to ensure continuous improvement in labor rights, working conditions, and ethical manufacturing at the factory, and to meet the corporate social responsibility requirements of European and American buyers.
