In 2023, BYD released a video titled “Together, We Are Chinese Cars,” which garnered widespread attention and enthusiastic response across the internet. This video not only serves as a declaration of the BYD brand but also symbolizes the confidence and determination of China’s new energy vehicle industry. It marks the shift towards new energy vehicles becoming a major trend for the Chinese automotive industry to compete globally, continuously leading into the future. The global promotion and development of new energy vehicles not only demonstrate advancements in new energy technology but also underscore the importance of precision manufacturing of various car components for automakers. Among these components, the manufacturing process of car seats is particularly crucial. When selecting seat suppliers, major automotive brands follow a set of evaluation criteria, preferring suppliers who can provide comprehensive solutions, demonstrate excellent environmental records, and possess innovative capabilities. These criteria include meeting standards in cutting processes, effectively saving leather materials to enhance cost-effectiveness, and other key indicators, all aimed at providing consumers with the ultimate comfort experience.                                             However, manufacturers are confronted with challenges...

“As the rigid demand for living space grows among the younger generation, the demand for furniture catering to small spaces, cost-effectiveness, and integrated design is increasing. This trend, coupled with increasingly stringent environmental standards set by the government, is pushing leather furniture manufacturers to transition towards digitization and green manufacturing, aiming for dual optimization of cost-effectiveness.”   01 Leather Nesting and Cutting: Manual vs. Automated   Traditionally, crafting a standard leather sofa requires nesting and cutting different sizes and qualities of leather for various parts of the sofa. During this process, craftsmen face challenges such as material displacement and wastage through manual nesting and cutting. This method not only lacks efficiency but also results in low material utilization. Additionally, it’s difficult to transfer such skills, leading to challenges in finding experienced craftsmen.   In contrast, employing digital equipment for nesting centralizes data processing and swiftly provides multiple nesting schemes through cloud computing analysis, significantly reducing material wastage and achieving efficient cutting. This integrated solution of nesting and cutting saves considerable time, labor costs, and boosts leather utilization rates to 85% or higher.   Moreover, the nesting equipment seamlessly connects with cutting equipment, achieving nesting + cutting in one step, saving...
