    Work-Order-Driven Closed Loop (Typical SOP for the Weaving Scenario)

    Taking a typical work order in the weaving workshop, the following 6 steps are the recommended flow for standard platform deployment; dyeing and finishing and home textile workshops are tailored to their own processes, and the project implementation blueprint governs in each case.

    ①
    Order Entry

    Sales orders capture customer, fabric specifications, quantity and delivery date, then are automatically pushed to the scheduling pool; MRP runs according to customer-configured rules.

    ②
    Production Scheduling

    Schedules production against warp beam, loom and dye vat capacity and priorities, with exception handling for rush order insertion, order changes and suspended orders.

    ③
    Process Execution

    Three channels — loom PLC, warp breakage device and PDA scanning — report output, downtime and warp breakages; dyeing parameters and color difference ΔE are entered per dye lot at the vats.

    ④
    Quality Inspection

    4-point scoring, GB2828 sampling, and defect records tied to fabric rolls and dye lots; the AI pushes the Top 3 causes automatically, with a rework closed loop.

    ⑤
    Finished Goods Warehousing

    Qualified fabric rolls and bedding sets are scanned into stock and bound to storage locations; batch records and traceability QR codes are generated automatically.

    ⑥
    Outbound and Shipping

    Goods are picked against shipping orders by scanning and verified at outbound; traceability codes are retained, supporting reverse factory audits by SN / batch number when customers visit.

    8 Questions on Selection / Deployment / Customization / Data Integration

    FAQ1 · Which loom types does the textile MES support? Are there PLC collection requirements?
    Compatible with water-jet looms, air-jet looms, rapier looms, projectile looms and other mainstream models; data integration offers three channels: PLC collection, LoRa connection via the light-beam warp breakage device, and manual PDA reporting. PLC collection requires the customer to open the corresponding communication points (e.g., Modbus / OPC UA, depending on the machine model).
    FAQ2 · How long does deployment typically take? What needs to be prepared from contract signing to go-live?
    Typical timelines: the public cloud SaaS form usually goes live quickly in 2-3 months, while on-premise private and multi-plant aggregation forms generally take longer; exact durations vary with blueprint review, master data cleansing, network preparation and user training, and a clear implementation plan is issued at project kickoff. Typical items customers need to prepare include: collation of baseline data such as orders, materials, process BOM and equipment ledgers; preparation of the workshop network and terminals such as PDAs and dashboards.
    FAQ3 · With on-premise private deployment, does all data stay entirely on the customer's own servers?
    Yes. Under the on-premise private deployment form, the database, files and reports all reside on servers in the customer's own data center or private cloud; Zhisuo performs remote or on-site O&M only within the maintenance period and under customer authorization. No production data is uploaded to third-party servers without the customer's written permission. (This reflects standard commercial terms; the contract governs in practice.)
    FAQ4 · With multiple groups and plants, how do you achieve group-wide aggregation without disrupting each plant's local operations?
    This corresponds to the "edge node + HQ aggregation" deployment form: each plant runs a local MES edge node handling local production flows, dashboards and traceability; key metrics and records sync on a schedule to the HQ aggregation node, where headquarters sees cross-plant comparison dashboards, the AI assistant supports cross-plant voice queries, and plants keep running even during brief network outages.
    FAQ5 · When the workshop network is poor, do PDAs and mobile terminals support offline entry?
    Typical PDA functions (reporting, barcode inbound, barcode outbound, defect entry, etc.) support offline caching on the PDA itself and automatically sync once the network is restored (the supported function list for a given scenario depends on the customer's actual PDA version; we do not make a blanket offline promise for every function).
    FAQ6 · Where do the data sources for the OEE dashboard's availability / performance / quality come from?
    Availability typically comes from loom PLC running status and warp breakage event feeds, plus manually entered downtime reason tags; performance comes from reported output against the standard takt time (provided by the customer's process engineering department); quality comes from 4-point and sampling inspection entries. The AI assistant can automatically analyze the Top 3 causes behind low-OEE looms.
    FAQ7 · For loom operator piece-rate and team performance calculations, is it appropriate to pay wages directly from this system's results?
    Piece-rate and performance belong to the professional domain of HR compensation. On the production execution side, this system provides "typical-scenario reference estimates" for piece-rate results — including process output, rework, defect counts and responsible teams. We recommend customers treat this data as one important input for payroll; the final wage rules and approval workflows remain defined in the customer's HR or finance systems, preventing cross-system overreach.
    FAQ8 · What kinds of questions does the Zhisuo AI voice assistant support? Could it accidentally modify data?
    The Zhisuo AI voice assistant supports colloquial, fuzzy and technical-term queries on output, inventory, orders, equipment, quality and traceability, handles multi-turn follow-up questions, and auto-generates Excel reports. Strict read-only permission design: the AI can query but never modify, and it cannot issue commands to looms; sensitive data is isolated by account permissions, keeping data security fully under control.
