Analysis of AGV application in the clothing industry with small batches and multiple batches
在时尚潮流瞬息万变的今天，服装行业的竞争已从T台延伸至供应链。传统的“大批量、长周期”生产模式正被“小批量、多批次、快反应”的柔性供应链所取代。这一转变，对仓储物流环节提出了前所未有的挑战。仓库在“找货、搬货、配货”的循环中疲于奔命，如何实现高效、精准且灵活的物资搬运？ 打造一个数据驱动、实时决策的智慧物流新内核，这正成为推动服装企业供应链升级，塑造未来新优势的关键所在。
In an era of rapidly evolving fashion trends, competition within the apparel industry has expanded beyond the runway to encompass the entire supply chain. The traditional production model which characterised by high volume output and extended lead times is increasingly being supplanted by a flexible supply chain framework cantered on small batch sizes, frequent replenishment, and rapid responsiveness. This shift presents unprecedented challenges for warehousing and logistics operations, where facilities are often overwhelmed by the repetitive tasks of locating, transporting, and allocating inventory. Achieving efficient, accurate and agile material handling has thus become a critical imperative. Establishing a smart logistics core powered by data analytics and real-time decision-making capabilities is now essential for enabling supply chain transformation in apparel enterprises and securing sustainable competitive advantages in the future.
行业痛点：传统仓库难以承受之“重”
Based on Robest AGV’s years of in-depth research in the field of mobile robots and practical experience in providing smart logistics solutions for numerous clothing enterprises, we believe that the current industry mainly faces the following core pain points:
- 人力依赖与效率瓶颈。服装生产多环节物料搬运依赖人工推车，效率低且易出错，在 “小批量、多批次” 订单下，人工调度难以应对高频次需求。Human Dependency and Efficiency Bottleneck. In the multi-stage material handling of clothing production, manual trolleys are often relied upon, which is inefficient and error prone. Under the “small batch, multiple orders” model, manual scheduling struggles to cope with the high-frequency demands.
- 成本管控压力突出。人工搬运的长期人力成本持续上涨，且传统模式下物料易积压损耗、存在无效搬运，双重因素进一步压缩企业利润空间。Prominent Cost Control Pressure. The long-term labour costs of manual handling continue to rise, and in the traditional mode, materials are prone to accumulation and loss, with ineffective handling, further squeezing the profit margins of enterprises.
- 数字化管理断层。多数中小服装企业依赖人工记录物料信息，数据滞后易出错，导致生产与物流调度脱节，影响订单交付效率和客户满意度。Digital Management Gap. Most small and medium-sized clothing enterprises rely on manual recording of material information, which is lagging and error-prone, leading to a disconnect between production and logistics scheduling, affecting order delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction.
- 柔性适配能力不足。服装行业需频繁调整产线，传统物流模式难快速适配变动，物流系统响应迟缓，无法满足 “快速换产、敏捷交付” 需求。Insufficient Flexibility and Adaptability. The clothing industry frequently needs to adjust production lines, but traditional logistics models struggle to quickly adapt to changes, with slow response from the logistics system, unable to meet the demands of “rapid production line changes and agile delivery”.
破局之道：无人叉车AGV的柔性赋能
面对服装行业四大核心痛点，艾吉威以“柔性智能”为核心，提供精准高效的无人叉车智能物流解决方案，其标准化‘小千斤’AGV更以 “省钱、省地、省心” 的核心特点，精准破解服装行业物流痛点，在赋能企业降本增效、提升物流柔性上大放异彩。
Facing the four core pain points in the clothing industry, Robest AGV, with “flexible intelligence” at its core, offers precise and efficient unmanned forklift intelligent logistics solutions. Its standardized “X-QIANJIN” AGV, with the core features of “cost-effective, space optimisation and flexibility and reliable”, precisely resolves the logistics pain points in the clothing industry and has demonstrated outstanding performance in enabling enterprises to reduce costs, boost efficiency and enhance logistics flexibility.
- 首先便是省钱。‘小千斤’AGV作为一款24小时不停歇、性价比极高的无人叉车，有电便有‘小千斤’忙碌的身影。可替代人工完成原材料产线送料、成品从包装区到出库区等多场景搬运任务。节省人工带来的培训、管理等成本，从根本上缓解人力依赖难题，打破传统人工搬运效率瓶颈，是提高效率的一把好手。Cost efficiency. The ‘X-QIANJIN’ AGV delivers exceptional cost efficiency as a 24/7 autonomous forklift with outstanding performance and value. It replaces manual labour in multiple material-handling scenarios, such as delivering raw materials to production lines and transporting finished goods from packaging to out bound areas. By automating these repetitive tasks, it significantly reduces costs associated with labour training and management, alleviates dependence on manpower, and overcomes the efficiency bottlenecks of traditional manual operations. It is a true driver of productivity improvement.
- 其次是省地。‘小千斤’AGV搭载AI、Slam导航、AGVS调度系统，做到手自一体灵活变通，提高效率确保操作准确性的同时使用多场景需求，无论是货物形状不规则，摆放位置不统一还是搬运节拍不统一等场景，‘小千斤’都不在话下。其体积小、载重大、灵活性好的卖点，能在节省空间领域一骑红尘，不仅适合服装行业，也适用于快递物流、3C 电子等狭小空间物料搬运场景。Space optimisation and flexibility. Powered by AI technology, SLAM navigation, and an AGVS scheduling system, the ‘X-QIANJIN’ AGV offers seamless integration between manual and automatic operation modes. It enhances operational efficiency and precision while adapting effortlessly to diverse and complex working environments.
