Return To List

As the global footwear market continues to expand, Indonesia stands at a new starting point for development. Industry giants such as Pou Chen and Feng Tay are actively expanding their factories, injecting strong momentum for capacity growth next year. These groups are not only deeply rooted in the local market but are also expanding their horizons to Indonesia, Vietnam, and even India. Through flexible capacity allocation and long-term capacity layout strategies, they are laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the industry.

Amid this prosperous scene, the Jakarta International Expo Center hosted a significant industry event — the Indonesia Footwear & Leather Exhibition (ILF) from July 31 to August 2, 2024. This highly anticipated event attracted dozens of top global exhibitors and over 20,000 industry professionals, collectively witnessing the innovation and prosperity of the footwear and leather industry. The influence of the ILF in the footwear and leather industry is undeniable.

GBOS, a smart manufacturing equipment company with 18 years of expertise in flexible manufacturing and a local office in Indonesia, also participated deeply in this exhibition. At the event, GBOS showcased its one-stop digital cutting + innovative process solutions for the footwear and leather industry, engaging in in-depth discussions with the media and audience on topics such as machine innovation, application cases, and digital trends.

  1. Digital Management for Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

First, GBOS showcased the IoT Bridge digital management solution. This technology effectively breaks down data silos by enabling unified management of manufacturing workshops, providing robust support for digital management and manufacturing optimization, and laying a solid foundation for the intelligent transformation of enterprises.

  1. Intelligent Layout Attracts Crowds

Next, GBOS set up a “layout experience zone” at the site, aiming to provide a more intuitive understanding of the high efficiency and material-saving capabilities of digital layout through a real layout experience. This experience challenged traditional layout perceptions, utilizing every inch of available leather.

  1. Technological Innovation Draws High Attention

Another highlight of the exhibition was GBOS’s one-stop digital intelligent cutting + innovative process solutions, which include laser cutting, laser marking, vibrating knife cutting, drawing lines, and other automation solutions. Integrating an AI visual recognition system, it achieves high-speed recognition of contours or positioning points, completing tasks such as cutting same-color mesh, identifying and cutting leather contours and defects, performing nail hole processes, and moving away from traditional screen printing lines. This not only shortens the entire process but also significantly reduces manual labor.

  1. Media Interviews Discuss Industry Future

During the exhibition, GBOS’s impressive “Digital Cutting Center+” garnered the attention of many local brands and manufacturers, as well as invitations from numerous niche media for interviews. Our foreign trade department manager represented GBOS in a comprehensive and in-depth discussion with local media about the company’s overview, its deep connection with ILF, profound insights into Indonesia’s footwear and leather industry, and future strategic plans.

In the interview, the manager detailed GBOS’s digital cutting and innovative process solutions, demonstrating our pioneering vision in the field of smart manufacturing. By showcasing the “Digital Cutting Center” in depth, we illustrated GBOS’s foresight in smart manufacturing.

Following this, the foreign trade manager elaborated on the proactive expansion efforts of industry giants like Pou Chen and Feng Tay. With the completion and operation of new factories, significant capacity growth is anticipated next year. Against this market backdrop, GBOS is full of confidence in the development prospects of the Indonesian market and has been increasing investment, expanding and upgrading the local office in Indonesia to meet the growing market demand.

As the exhibition concluded successfully, GBOS not only demonstrated cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions in smart manufacturing but also underscored its firm commitment and ambitious vision for the Indonesian market. We look forward to continuing to lead industry trends and bringing more innovation and value to the global footwear and leather industry in the future.
