Abstract: The apparel industry is a prime example for the field of manual manufacture. Problems in manufacturing control are caused by manual handling of garments and influence the availability and correctness of information. This bad information quality leads to problems along the supply chain from production to disposition. Automated data management based on radio frequency identification technology is proposed to solve these problems. Autonomous control can be established on top to increase the system robustness and flexibility and to enable smaller manufacturing batch sizes. Although autonomous control is easily applicable in highly automated systems its application in manual processes is generally difficult. Three different system architectures are discussed, diverse technical approaches are analyzed and decision is made for one approach based on radio frequency identification and manufacturing batches that suits the apparel scenario well.
Keywords: Autonomous control, Apparel industry, Production planning and control, Smart labels, System architecture.
