<< Arrangement of sewing work line >>
As shown in FIG. 1, in the sewing operation line according to the present embodiment, in order to sew one garment (items constituting a garment set), a part set (for example, a front body set Sm, 4 (a) and 4 (b), such as the back set Sb), the sewing operation is started almost simultaneously and in parallel.
That is, a front body part set (a front body set Sm in FIG. 4A), a reversion part set, and a back part set (FIG. 4B) that constitute one garment (or an item constituting the garment) The back set Sb), the part set of the collar, and the part set of the sleeve are mounted on the hanger 32 to which the RFID tag 34 is attached, respectively, and the front body sewing line 61 for sewing the front body of each hanger 32 is provided. It is almost simultaneously fed to a reverse sewing line 62 for sewing, a back sewing line 63 for sewing the back, a collar sewing line 64 for sewing a collar, and a sleeve sewing line 65 for sewing sleeves.

Here, since the time and man-hours required for sewing each part set are different, in order for a certain part set or a sewing product sewn there to proceed to the next sewing work, another part set or a sewing product sewn this is sewn. Sometimes you have to wait for your arrival.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, a pool (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, the third pool 72, A pool 73) is provided. The management device 10, when there is a hanger 32 on which a set of parts or a sewing product that requires a work time adjustment in the sewing operation is mounted, according to the RFID tag 34 that is a management sign of the hanger 32, temporarily attaches the hanger 32 ( That is, management is performed such that the first pool 71, the second pool 72, and the third pool 73 are temporarily stored as appropriate.

FIG. 5A is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a sewing management system according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 5B is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a conventional sewing management system.
5 (a) and 5 (b), the values in parentheses are indications of the length of time required in each sewing operation line, and are, for example, (3) and (2.5) Shows an image having a time difference of 30 minutes. The numerical values shown here are not strictly required times.

For example, in the present embodiment, when comparing the time required to sew the front body in the front body sewing line 61 and the time required to sew the back body in the reverse body sewing line 62, the front body is sewn. It takes 0.5 longer. That is, it is necessary to sew the front body and the reversion after sewing the respective parts, and then sew them together in the front body / reversion sewing line 66. However, for the reversion, the sewing of the front body is completed after the sewing is completed. It is necessary to wait 0.5, for example, about 30 minutes. In this manner, a pool as a temporary placement section is arranged near the sewing work line where the waiting time occurs, and the finished component set or the sewing product obtained by sewing the component set is temporarily stored. .
For example, in the present embodiment, a first pool 71 for temporarily storing a reversion waiting for the sewing of the front body is provided near the reversion sewing line 62 or between the front body sewing line 61 and the reversion sewing line 62. Are located.

Further, the back must be sewn to the front body and the back in the front body / return / back sew line 67 after the front body and the back are sewn in the front / return sewing line 66. Assuming that the time required to sew the back on the sewing line 63 is 2, and the time required to sew the front body and the reversion is 2.5 + 0.5 + 1 = 4, that is, for example, 2 You need to wait about an hour. Therefore, in the vicinity of the back sewing line 63 or between the front body / return sewing line 66 and the back sewing line 63, a second pool 72 for temporarily storing the back waiting for the sewing of the front body and the reversion is provided. Are located.
Further, since the collar and sleeves are sewn to the front body, the reversion and the back after being sewn, it is necessary to wait for the completion of the sewing of the front body, the reversion and the back. Therefore, in the vicinity of the collar sewing line 64 or the sleeve sewing line 65, or between the front body / return / back sewing line 67 where the front body, the reversion and the back are sewn, and the collar sewing line 64 or the sleeve sewing line 65. Is provided with a third pool 73 for temporarily storing collars and sleeves.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the time for waiting for sewing of other parts or the like occurs every time, pools (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, and the third pool 73) are provided in the vicinity thereof. Adjustment of the waiting time can be performed easily and smoothly.
Since each part can be sewn in parallel while adjusting the time in the pools (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, and the third pool 73), the overall sewing time can be reduced. it can.
For example, in the related art, as shown in FIG. 5B, a method has been adopted in which parts constituting one garment (or items constituting the garment) are sequentially sewn in series.
In this case, the time required to sew one garment (or an item constituting the garment) is simply the accumulation of the time required to sew the parts together, and is 18.5 in the illustrated example.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the sewing work is performed in parallel in the portion that is simultaneously advanced, the time required for completing the sewing of the same clothing (item) is 11, which is 7.5. Time can be reduced.
Which of the hangers 32 is to be kept in which pool (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, the third pool 73), and at what timing which hanger 32 is the pool (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, the second pool 73). The return from the third pool 73) to the sewing work line is automatically managed as appropriate by the control unit 11 of the management device 10 by reading the RFID tag 34 of each hanger 32, and the hanger 32 is controlled so as not to cause loss as much as possible. Is smoothly controlled.

《Response when an error occurs on the sewing work line》
In the present embodiment, when a delay occurs in the sewing operation line and it is difficult to achieve the target predetermined delivery date, the management device 10 is delayed to a monitor (not shown) or the like. Displaying the sewing work, the delay time, the elapsed time after the sewing target (the hanger 32 on which the sewing target is mounted) enters a certain sewing work line, an alarm prompting a response, and the like, are displayed to the worker in the sewing factory. It is preferable to notify the occurrence of the occurrence.
In addition, the management device 10 appropriately grasps to which work stage each hanger 32 has progressed by reading the RFID tag 34 of the hanger 32 by the sign reader 20 as appropriate, and thereby, the occurrence of delay ( Location, type of delayed component, etc.).

An alarm may be transmitted when the elapsed time or the number of stays in the process of each sewing operation line is likely to exceed a predetermined threshold value, or may exceed the predetermined threshold value.
It is preferable to determine whether or not to perform the notification by an alarm or the like based on the estimated date of shipment of the final product (shipment from the sewing factory) as to whether or not the shipment can be performed as scheduled.
Further, an alarm may be transmitted according to the preliminary production time.
More specifically, a spare time obtained by subtracting the average production L / T (lead time) from the delivery date is managed, and an alarm is transmitted when the spare time exceeds a predetermined threshold.
The production L / T is calculated by, for example, stacking (for example, cutting 4.5h + sewing 6.5h... = 30h) the average production L / T of the last several days in each process, and the degree of crowding (including prospects) of each process. It can be calculated by multiplying (for example, 1.3 times) a certain constant considered.

For the sewing target (the hanger 32 on which the sewing target is mounted) staying in the sewing work line for more than a predetermined elapsed time, an alarm indicating that priority sewing is to be performed is displayed on a monitor or the like of the management device 10, and the sewing work line is displayed. Sewing may be preferentially performed by raising the sewing order within the sewing machine. Further, the sewing target (the hanger 32 on which the sewing target is mounted) may be moved to another sewing work line or the like so as to be sewn first.
Further, when products with different delivery dates are mixed in the sewing work line, a product with a shorter delivery date may be given priority.
Specifically, the hanger 32 on which the parts of the product with a short delivery time are mounted is preferentially put into the sewing work line of the next work, and the hanger 32 with the long delivery time is prevented from entering the sewing work line. The control unit 11 may control the movement of the hanger 32 by the hanger transport device 30.
If the order of the hangers 32 is restricted or prioritized in accordance with the priority of the work, the pools (the first pool 71 and the second pool 72) are merged together. When there is a hanger 32 waiting in the third pool 73), the timing of returning from the pool (the first pool 71, the second pool 72, the third pool 73) to the sewing work line is also controlled in accordance with the recombination. You.

As shown in FIG. 6, a normal sewing line (in FIG. 6, a normal line 60 (each of the sewing lines 61 to 69 in FIG. 1 and the like) is added to a sewing operation line configured by the hanger transport device 30. Alternatively, an overtaking line 80 may be provided.
In this case, it is in the vicinity of a branch point Dp between the normal line 60 (in FIG. 6, the flow is indicated by a solid line arrow) and the overtaking-only line 80 (in FIG. 6, the flow is indicated by a broken line arrow), and An information reading device 20 that reads the RFID tag 34 attached to the hanger 32 is arranged on the upstream side of the sewing operation line from Dp.
The control unit 11 of the management device 10 preliminarily formulates an overall plan relating to sewing of clothes (this is also referred to as a “production plan”), and performs sewing management according to the plan.
For example, an unexpected situation may occur at the beginning (for example, if a scratch is found in the fabric constituting the part, and the sewing needs to be restarted, etc.), and the original production plan cannot cope with the situation. When it has run out, the control unit 11 reviews the original production plan itself. Then, the control unit 11 specifies the hanger 32 (RFID tag 34 attached to the hanger 32) on which the component to be sewn is mounted with priority, and causes the hanger 32 to flow to the overtaking exclusive line 80 at the corresponding location. Specify.
When the RFID tag 34 of the hanger 32 specified by the control unit 11 is read by the information reading device 20 arranged at a predetermined position, the hanger 32 deviates from the normal line 60 and passes only the overtaking line indicated by the dashed arrow. The control unit 11 controls the movement of the hanger 32 by the hanger transport device 30 so that the hanger 32 flows to the hanger 32.
The component set mounted on the hanger 32 that has entered the overtaking exclusive line 80 is sewn in preference to the component set mounted on the hanger 32 flowing through the normal line 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, even when a plurality of hangers 32 stay in the normal line 60, if there is a hanger 32 that has entered the overtaking line 80, the component set mounted thereon has priority. Sewn. As a result, even when there is a part set that has been delayed due to an unexpected situation, the effect of the delay can be minimized, the sewing time of the entire garment can be shortened, and the sewing operation can be performed efficiently. .
Note that information on the hanger 32 entering the overtaking line 80 and a sewing instruction for giving an instruction to preferentially sew the component set mounted on the hanger 32 are displayed on a display unit (display) (not shown) of the management device 10. Is preferably displayed so that a worker or the like can appropriately check the work status.

Further, in the present embodiment, when an error occurs due to, for example, the fact that a part (cloth part) at the sewing stage is found to be damaged, a replacement part (cloth part) is newly prepared. However, in this case, the cutting is started again.
Specifically, for example, a production number is specified from the barcode No. of the barcode seal 35 attached to the component which is the component identification mark associated with the component, and the fabric is taken out based on the production number. Cut again as necessary. At this time, other parts are on standby on the sewing work line, and after the cloth is cut and sewn again, the part returns to the predetermined sewing work line of the hanger transport device 30 again, and when the necessary sewing is completed, the other parts are used. The hanger 32 on which the parts associated with the same serial number are mounted also moves. Then, they join at a normal sewing work line and are sewn together.
When the hanger 32 to be mounted on the part (cloth part) is changed, the RFID tag 34 of the hanger 32 after the change and the serial number of the garment as the final product are re-associated.
In the present embodiment, since the RFID tag 34 of the hanger 32 is associated with the serial number of the garment that is the final product, some trouble has occurred in some of the hangers 32 (parts equivalent to the hangers 32). At this time, the information is shared with the hanger 32 associated with the same serial number, and the control and management is performed by the control unit 11, so that appropriate measures can be taken.

Although FIG. 1 illustrates a case where the outerwear is sewn as the sewing operation line, for example, when the clothing is configured by a set of a plurality of items (for example, the clothing is configured by upper and lower parts such as an outerwear and pants). In the case of such a suit, the sewing operation of the pants is performed substantially in parallel with the sewing of the outerwear in the same manner as in the case of the outerwear.
Then, it is preferable that each item of the clothing to be set (for example, outerwear and pants) is completed almost at the same time.

Finished clothes (items constituting the clothes) are subjected to final finishing such as finishing ironing and pressing (see FIG. 1).
Further, when the clothes are composed of a set of a plurality of items (for example, outerwear and pants, etc.), a set combination operation of combining items assigned the same serial number is performed. The work may be performed manually, or the sign reader 20 reads the serial number of each item, so that the items with the same serial number are automatically combined as a set. Is also good.
A tag indicating a production number, a tag, and the like are attached to one set of clothes. The timing of attaching a tag indicating a serial number or a tag to a garment (an item constituting the garment) is not limited to after the set combination work. When each item is completed, the tag or the tag is attached to each item. May be attached.
Finally, the needle reading operation is performed, and the sewing operation is completed.

《Structure of packing device》
Next, the packing device 40 dries the garment completed after the sewing operation at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time and packs the garment while maintaining a predetermined low humidity state.
In the present embodiment, the packing device 40 is, for example, a solid drying device (not shown) that dries completed clothes hanging on a hanger or the like and a drying device (not shown) that puts the clothes after drying into an airtight packing bag (not shown). It is composed of a packing mechanism for packing.
The "predetermined drying temperature" and the "predetermined drying time", such as how many times the atmosphere temperature in the three-dimensional drying apparatus is to be used when drying clothes and how long the clothes are to be dried, are determined by the cloth constituting the clothes. Depends on the material and the like.
The "predetermined drying temperature" and the "predetermined drying time" also depend on various conditions such as the number of clothes to be put into the three-dimensional drying apparatus and the distance between hangers on which the clothes are hung.

For example, when drying a suit jacket in which the outer material is wool and the lining is polyester in a three-dimensional drying device, if the drying temperature is too high and the drying time is too long, the polyester in the lining may be damaged, and conversely, the drying temperature may be reduced. If the drying time is short and the drying time is short, sufficient drying cannot be performed, and wrinkles are likely to occur.
For this reason, the “predetermined drying temperature” and the “predetermined drying time” are set so that the “predetermined low humidity state” after drying is optimal for each fabric so that wrinkles are less likely to occur. It is desirable to set appropriately according to the conditions.
The drying temperature, the drying time and the degree of the low humidity state after the drying vary depending on the material and the like of the cloth constituting the clothing.For example, when the cloth is a blend of cotton and polyester, It differs depending on the mixing ratio and the like.
Therefore, it is preferable that the optimal drying temperature, drying time, and degree of low humidity after drying are appropriately determined in consideration of the mixing ratio of each material in the cloth constituting each garment.

  Although FIG. 2 shows an example in which the management device 10 that manages the sewing operation also controls the packing device 40, the packing device 40 may be managed and controlled by a separate control device. Good.

《Configuration of slip output device》
Next, the slip output device 50 reads the production sign associated with the clothing (items constituting the clothing) completed by the sign detection device 20, and acquires the order information associated with the production sign, A delivery slip indicating the destination of the clothes is output based on the order information. The target to be read by the sign detection device 20 may be an RFID tag or the like, or may be a simpler barcode or the like.
In addition, the label | marker detected by the label | marker detection apparatus 20 is not limited to a manufacturing label, and may be a specific label | marker which specifies a manufacturing label. For example, the component identification mark (the bar code No. indicated by the bar code seal 35 in the present embodiment) constituting the sewing management information includes a manufacturing number which is a manufacturing mark. Therefore, the marker can be specified by reading the component identification marker by the marker detection device 20, and the order information associated with the manufacturer marker can be acquired.
The slip output device 50 outputs a delivery slip or the like on the spot based on information such as the customer address included in the order information.
In the present embodiment, as described above, by reading the production sign attached to the completed garment, the delivery slip is output on the spot, thereby causing a mistake between the completed garment and the delivery destination. Nothing.
What is output by the slip output device 50 is not limited to the delivery slip. For example, when there are a plurality of items associated with one production number (for example, when the clothes are composed of a set of a plurality of items such as outerwear and pants), a document indicating the set contents, an invoice, A delivery note or the like may be output.

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the slip output device 50 is also controlled by the management device 10 that manages the sewing operation. However, the slip output device 50 is controlled by a control device or the like provided on the side that manages the delivery operation. Alternatively, management and control may be performed by a separate control device.

<< Operation and effect of the sewing management system >>
