Clothes designed by AI large models are so in line with market demand? That's right. Not only that, AI large models can also provide fashion design fashion trend predictions, design work protection innovation services, fashion intelligent design, big data analysis... In recent years, AI has provided a strong boost to the digital R&D transformation of the clothing industry and empowered clothing. Production realizes digital ODM upgrade. Especially under the fierce competition in the international market, as an important export base for my country's textile and clothing, Ningbo has followed the wave of digital transformation and equipped with an efficient "brain" for the development of the clothing industry.

This year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has made every effort to promote the development of 5G into a new stage of "5G-A". As the country's first A²+ new industrialization practical base, Ningbo Mobile focuses AI+ on industrial sub-sectors and common scenarios, creating 4 major industrial AI large models and 4 major sub-scenario small models; and has made innovations in business models , providing different models for different types of enterprises, and at the same time providing central kitchen-style services for local governments, parks, and chain owners. What is A²? In this regard, industry experts explained that A² is the multiplication of two A's, forming a multiplier effect, superimposing and doubling, realizing the effective integration and docking of 5G+ and AI+, and exploring a new path to empower new industrialization. It is understood that Ningbo Mobile currently has many AI+ large models, including Yong Zhiling-industrial virtual expert large model, textile and clothing design large model, industrial auxiliary design large model, generative AI large model intelligent defect data generation assistant, etc. At the same time, AI+ new industrialization has been put into practical application and has achieved remarkable results in factories such as Bull Group and Ikodi. In addition, AI+ video large models have also been widely promoted in the production field, and many products such as industry video general visual value-added services, AI guarded unmanned stores, and cloud-side AI intelligent security boxes have been developed. The AI large model enables efficient design, which is more in line with market demand. Zhejiang Mobile has integrated mobile 5G+ computing network capabilities and created a service platform based on the AIGC artificial intelligence large model at Chunhe Fashion Group that integrates R&D functions such as clothing styles, fabrics and patterns." LINKHAND AI”. Based on AIGC's creative design capabilities and big data analysis capabilities, users can obtain a series of functional applications such as "fabric fitting", "line drafting", "style development", "inspiration creation", "pattern creativity" and "smart version library"; For enterprises, it greatly shortens the R&D cycle of clothing products and reduces R&D costs. Most garment R&D work is automatically completed by AI. Garment designers only need to invest a small amount of manual participation to complete the overall design work, and the R&D cycle is shortened by more than 80%. . The AI platform provides great convenience for garment making work. “It used to be that when designing clothing, we had to look through a large number of seasonal fashion styles for planning and draw sketches by hand. From the sketch to the final sample, it took three to five days, with a lot of communication and adjustments required. Now I use LINKHAND After AI, you can directly upload the popular styles of the season, and in five to ten seconds the system will give you various ready-to-wear effects that can be used for reference, and the final effect will be the model's try-on effect," said Chunhe fashion designer Yuan Mingyang. AI large models can create pictures from text and pictures from pictures, helping designers to efficiently produce fashion styles that meet market demand. The cost of new clothing is greatly reduced, and the hit rate is increased, further promoting the flexible design, production and delivery of the industry; at the same time, Provides fashion design fashion trend prediction, design work protection innovation services, fashion intelligent design, big data analysis and other functions. Yuan Mingyang said that AI large models greatly improve design efficiency, and inspiration can burst out at any time to continuously output works. With the help of AI large models, designers can even draw sketches while completing line drafts at any time, and then adjust the sketches according to the effect of the garment. This is like using a time and space portal, and the process can be adjusted directly based on the results. Let AI better understand product features and design personality. With the advancement of the national small and medium-sized enterprise transformation pilot cities, full digital coverage of AI empowerment for clothing companies has become a general trend. However, promoting AI to empower small and medium-sized enterprises is still a big problem at this stage. "Unlike large enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises have professional management teams and strict management systems. If you want AI capabilities to be applicable to small and medium-sized clothing enterprises, you need to make the functions 'dumb-friendly' enough so that you don't have to enter prompt words or Through complex model training, clothing design works that highly meet the needs of the enterprise can be generated at any time," said Dong Guanling, general manager of Linghang (Zhejiang) Industrial Internet Co., Ltd. If you want to build a smart factory that provides one-stop supply chain services for all categories and has a high degree of informationization and transparency, you cannot do without advanced digital management tools. It is understood that Chunhe Fashion Group has adopted tools such as supply chain platform, corporate big data command center, production line hanging system, sample workshop intelligent logistics transportation system, LINKHAND AI intelligent design platform, etc., to achieve seamless connection of important data and real-time updates. . The production workshop, including new product development, adopts an intelligent hanging management system. The entire process starts from placing an order. Whether it is new product development or mass production, the progress can be tracked online in real time like express packages. Industry insiders say that as a fashion industry, the clothing industry is highly dependent on design. The emergence of AI has broken the traditional clothing design process, greatly improved the work efficiency of designers, and provided customers and consumers with more personalized and convenient services. choice.
