Baison Joins Force with MSC to Provide

Revolutionary Factory Management Solutions for Apparel Industry

 

Shanghai, December 7, 2007 - Baison Software, leading solution provider for apparel industry in China, announced today that it had entered into strategic alliance with Hong Kong based MSC Limited (member of the Zymmetry Group) to promote MSC’s patented and award winning RF125 factory floor solution in mainland China. 

 

The RF125 factory floor solution applies latest radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to capture real time production data and worker performance throughout the production process.  It offers a complete solution from data capturing to a software platform allowing line supervisors to monitor and balance production lines real time.  It also comes with a suite of sophisticated yet easy to use tools for management to analyze their factory floors from different perspectives.

 

Mr Edgar Tung, Chief Operating Officer of the Zymmetry Group said, "Garment manufacturing is one of the most labour-intensive industries in the world. Most manufacturers are still relying on manual job ticketing system to track production progress and worker performance.  As a result of the lack of real-time and automated data, most manufacturers do not have effective control of the work-in-progress, often have to suffer from inflated payroll due to manipulation of job tickets from workers, as well as the lack of coordination from different departments.”  The RF125 factory floor solution tackles the problem by collecting the real-time production and staff performance data automatically, allowing line supervisors and factory managers to have full visibility of the factory floor.   

 

"Full visibility is the key to enhancing productivity at the factory floor”, said Mr. Huang Fei, General Manager of Baison, during the recent Apparel Industry Summit organized by China National Garment Association.  “We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with MSC and we believe that we are about to bring major revolution to the garment industry in China.  While "Made in China" products can now easily been found in different parts of the world, this is not the ultimate goal.  The apparel industry in China is moving toward the goal of Created in China”.  To achieve this goal, manufacturers in China need to vastly improve the productivity through innovative technologies and the RF125 solution is a prime example of such solutions”, Huang Fei continued.

 

“Elegant use of modern technology to handle traditionally intractable problems”, “Fast resolution of bottlenecks” and “reduced WIP inventory and rapid tracing of quality issues at their sources” were some of the comments made by the judges at the Hong Kong Information and Communications Technology Award who have selected MSC’s RFID solution to be the winner of e-Business Gold Award in 2006.
