Abstract
The industrial sector of garment and fashion manufacturing is quite special. Materials are soft and flexible, lead times are highly compressed and very short, order variety and volume could range widely. Customers and markets, fashion designers and tailors, production facilities, and logistics and deliveries are geographically distributed. These characteristics demonstrate a strong case not only for Industry 4.0 smart social manufacturing but also for Industrial Large model. This talk will share recent efforts in developing ChatCustomers, ChatTailor and ChatFactory which utilize large model, social manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies for fashion production.
