Industry Solution

Apparel & Footwear · Multi-SKU Piece-Rate Pay

Purpose-built for the apparel & footwear industry's traits: many styles, many color-size combos, production lines, and piece-rate pay. How many pieces each worker completes × unit price = transparent, auditable pay; a WeChat mini-program handles scan-to-receive and scan-to-report, digitizing the shop floor without PDAs.

Industry Pain Points vs. MES Solutions

6 Typical Challenges of Apparel & Footwear Factories

Apparel is a flexible yet labor-intensive industry, where digital transformation needs to be "lightweight + practical"

👔 Pain Point 1: Multi-SKU Listing

One garment in 5 colors × 6 sizes = 30 SKUs; many styles add up to thousands of SKUs → a spec generator + Excel batch import

💰 Pain Point 2: Piece-Rate Pay Disputes

"Why did Little Wang earn 7,000 and I earned 6,000?" is a frequent shop-floor conflict → publish each operation's unit price, with transparent scan-based piece counting

🔁 Pain Point 3: Line Rotation

Sewers flow along "sleeve → collar → hem → setting," with rotation chaos → digitized operation cards + scan-to-flow

👥 Pain Point 4: Big Skill & Speed Gaps

Workers on the same operation can differ 3× in speed, creating big pay gaps → fair pay by operation unit price + individual output

📱 Pain Point 5: High PDA Investment

Issuing a PDA to every worker is too costly → a WeChat mini-program + workstation QR codes lets workers scan with their own phones

📦 Pain Point 6: Tight Order Deadlines

An eCommerce hit must ship in 3 days, beyond traditional scheduling → APS auto-schedules by deadline urgency

Multi-SKU Batch Management: 4,000 SKUs Listed in 30 Minutes

A summer collection of 200 styles × 4 colors × 5 sizes = 4,000 SKUs, which takes a week to enter by hand. SBK MES uses a spec generator + Excel template to list them in batch — enter a master style once to auto-expand all SKUs, done in 30 minutes.

Piece-Rate Pay: Scan to Accumulate, No Month-End Disputes

Each operation has a defined unit price (sleeve 2 yuan/piece, collar 3 yuan/piece); a worker scans to confirm each completed piece → pay accumulates automatically. At month-end, the pay slip lets anyone scan to see the source of every entry, leaving no room for disputes.

WeChat Mini-Program Reporting: Zero-Hardware Digitization

Apparel factories often have hundreds of workers, making it impractical to issue everyone a PDA. SBK MES provides a WeChat mini-program + workstation QR-code approach — workers scan with their own phones to report, at zero hardware and zero training cost.

Workers bind their employee ID in the WeChat mini-program
Workstation / operation / work-order QR codes recognized by scan
"Receive / report / pause / complete" in one tap in the mini-program
Check pay / rankings / notifications inside the mini-program
