On March 22, the NIKE MM WAVE 1 TEAM from global sports giant NIKE visited GBOS. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on one-stop digital cutting solutions for the apparel industry and reached a consensus on collaborating to establish an AI digital cutting center and build an open industrial ecosystem.

NIKE’s MM WAVE 1 TEAM consists of globally renowned manufacturing factories, playing a key role in ensuring high-quality, high-efficiency production and innovation for NIKE products. It represents the industry’s top production standards.

01 Deep Integration of Concepts: Exploring Industry Trends Together

During the exchange meeting, the MM WAVE 1 TEAM showcased NIKE’s top-level supply chain design approach, engaging in an in-depth discussion with GBOS on its intelligent cutting solutions, from technology matrix analysis to flexible production, process innovation, AI and digitalization, and industrial ecosystem applications. GBOS’s green intelligent manufacturing technology aligns with NIKE’s “Zero Carbon Manufacturing 2030” strategy, creating a strong technical synergy. Both parties also had a dynamic and productive discussion on how to meet consumers’ growing demands for functionality, sustainability, and fashion in apparel.

02 Exploring the Innovation Center: Experiencing the Power of Technology

[Process Innovation] During the technology demonstration, the NIKE team conducted an in-depth evaluation of GBOS’s innovative cutting solutions. The core modules include AI vision-based single-layer pattern alignment cutting, ultra-high precision cutting for low and multi-layer fabrics, and versatile multi-material cutting solutions, providing high-precision craftsmanship for premium sportswear manufacturing.

[Laser Technology Breakthrough] The digital laser equipment lineup showcased its advanced capabilities in processing specialty fabrics. The non-yellowing laser cutting system, designed for white fabrics, ensures pristine cutting results, while the cutting process for outdoor functional fabrics meets the standard for zero perceptible thermal damage. It also delivers flawless edge quality on heat-sensitive materials such as light-colored polyester, nylon, seamless bonding fabrics, and cotton, preventing charring and yellowing.

[Intelligent System Integration] The automation technology innovation modules include: the AI vision-guided intelligent PUR seamless dispensing system, the laser-based non-contact marking process (enabling damage-free marking on elastic materials such as elastics), and the 3D-linked laser micro-perforation system, which enhances fabric breathability and wearing comfort.

03 Lean Workshop Exploration: Experience Quality Control

The NIKE team visited GBOS’s modern, lean manufacturing workshop, where standardized processes are strictly followed. From raw material selection to finished product inspection, every step is meticulously controlled. The collaboration of advanced equipment and scientific management ensures product stability and consistency, closely aligning with NIKE’s quality standards, leaving a deep impression on the team.

04 Partnering for Brilliance: Looking Ahead to the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing

The visit from the NIKE team marks a significant milestone in the collaboration between both parties. Through the exchange, mutual trust was strengthened, laying the foundation for deep cooperation in the field of intelligent manufacturing. GBOS will continue to innovate and invest in R&D, working alongside partners like NIKE to drive the apparel industry toward a higher level of intelligent cutting.

  • White and light-colored apparel remains a timeless choice in the fashion industry, valued for its clean look and versatility across work and casual settings, reflecting today’s preference for simple, quality living. Behind this “pure aesthetic,” however, lies a long-standing cutting challenge for manufacturers: preserving the fabric’s original beauty while ensuring production efficiency and precision. 01 White Fabric Cutting: A Seemingly Simple but Highly Demanding Challenge In the business world, real pain points are often hidden within needs that appear simple at first glance. Consumers expect white apparel to be clean and flawless, breathable and comfortable, and durable down to the finest details—but meeting all three expectations at once is a real challenge for manufacturers. Natural cotton, linen, and eco-friendly specialty fabrics offer excellent breathability and comfort, yet they are extremely difficult to cut. Traditional laser cutting generates high heat that can cause yellowing, darkening, or scorching along the edges—an almost “fatal flaw” for white fabrics. The result is either scrapped material or compromised brand reputation, driving up waste and production costs. At the same time, modern garment features such as seamless pockets and waterproof bonding tapes require highly precise cutting to ensure quality. Inaccurate cuts from traditional methods often lead...

  • The true refinement of automotive interiors is often hidden in the details you don’t immediately see. From a single piece of plastic raw material to a contoured trim part that fits seamlessly into the cabin, the precision and efficiency of the cutting process directly define the upper limit of product quality—and ultimately shape a manufacturer’s core competitiveness. 01 The Dual Challenge of Cutting Complex Automotive Interior Components As you sit inside a vehicle and run your fingers along the smooth curves of the center console or the precisely cut openings on the door panels, you probably don’t stop to think about how these complex, contoured parts are produced with such consistency. For automotive component manufacturers, however, achieving this level of precision has long been a hidden pain point in production. Traditional stamping dies are bulky and costly to change over, making them ill-suited for customized or irregularly shaped interior parts. Manual trimming, on the other hand, relies heavily on operator experience, often resulting in inconsistent accuracy, excessive burrs, and additional finishing processes that consume time, labor, and may even compromise part precision. As a result, the machining of complex interior parts is often trapped in a dilemma between low efficiency...
