In the vibrant and energetic city, more and more people choose running as a way to release pressure and enjoy life. From the quiet park trails in the morning to the illuminated riverside walkways at night, people who love sports are everywhere.
However, for runners, a pair of suitable sneakers is crucial. It should not only meet the functional needs of running, but also be able to show fashion, trend and versatility.

 

In recent years, the same-color mesh material has become a highlight in sneaker design with its unique visual effect and lightweight texture. Through the fine preparation process, this material cleverly integrates patterns and colors, breaking the single image of traditional mesh and injecting new vitality into sports shoes.

PART 01

The Footwear Industry Challenge

However, in the production process of sports shoes, how to efficiently and accurately cut this same color mesh material has become a major problem for footwear industry. Traditionally, footwear industry usually use punching machines and dies for cutting, but this method is not only inefficient, but also increases the cost of labor, tooling and site management, limiting the flexibility of footwear industry to respond quickly to brand needs.

Cracking the cutting problem and improving cutting efficiency

In order to reduce operation cost and increase manufacturing flexibility, we bring the AI visionscan dual-head asynchronous high-efficiency laser cutting machine (GH1660TT-AT-3SCCD-P) to footwear industry. This machine is equipped with the latest AI visionscan system, which is able to accurately locate and identify different styles of mesh materials of the same color, no matter how complex and varied the patterns are, it can achieve high efficiency and accurate cutting. Meanwhile, the addition of automatic feeding system makes the cutting process without manual laying of material by hand, which greatly improves the work efficiency. In addition, the use of projection preview positioning system makes the cutting process more intuitive and controllable.


In addition, for footwear accessories material cutting, we also bring 4-head laser footwear accessories cutting machine (GH1610F-AT), which has become the right-hand man in the production line of footwear industry with its high efficiency and versatility. Equipped with 4 laser heads and an automatic feeding system, this machine is able to cut materials synchronously, solving the problem of personnel feeding and at the same time realizing a direct multiplication of cutting efficiency. The machine is capable of cutting footwear accessories materials such as midsole fabric, TPU and PU synthetic materials with ease. In addition, with the optional scribing device, it can also complete the scribing work at the same time of cutting, further simplifying the production process and reducing costs.

We are well aware that in this competitive era, reducing costs and increasing efficiency and improving the core competitiveness of enterprises are the keys to the sustainable development of footwear industry. Therefore, we hope to provide footwear industry with more efficient and accurate cutting through these advanced solutions, thus promoting the high-quality development of the sports footwear production industry.

 

In the future, we will continue to devote ourselves to technological innovation and industrial upgrading, provide more high-quality equipments and services for footwear industry, and jointly promote the prosperous development of the sports footwear industry.

  • Competition in denim manufacturing is no longer just about achieving the desired visual effects. It increasingly depends on equipment investment, maintenance costs, and the ability to respond quickly to orders. Since its launch more than a year ago, GBOS’s XXP5-600 COMPACT has continued to secure repeat purchases and bulk orders from overseas customers. Behind this sustained demand is a clear understanding of the practical challenges denim factories face. 01 Understanding What Overseas Factories Really Need One factory in Vietnam purchased four machines at once. With no prior experience in laser mass production, the team was initially concerned about complex commissioning, lengthy setup times, and potential delays in order delivery. In practice, however, installation and commissioning of each machine took just half a day. Operators quickly became familiar with the system, allowing stable mass production to begin soon afterward. The factory successfully established a complete laser washing line. Several other experienced manufacturers have also switched from their existing equipment to this model. With their extensive mass-production experience, these customers provide valuable comparisons of production parameters and practical suggestions for process optimization. The GBOS team responds promptly and works closely with them to refine production processes and improve the equipment based on...

  • Leather processing companies want to grow, but their growth is constrained by more than order volume. The real challenge lies in balancing factory space, equipment, and labor productivity. Many manufacturers find themselves caught in a dilemma: market opportunities are there, but their existing equipment and floor-space layout limit their production capacity. 01 Why Capacity Expansion Has Become Increasingly Difficult Factory rents continue to rise, making every square meter of usable floor space increasingly valuable. Meanwhile, orders are becoming more fragmented, and processing leather alongside various auxiliary materials has become increasingly common. Expanding capacity often means renting a larger factory and taking on higher fixed costs. Without expansion, however, existing equipment may reach its capacity limit and struggle to handle additional orders. Processing multiple material categories often requires multiple machines, each occupying valuable floor space and adding to operating costs. Space constraints eat into profits, while scattered equipment limits production capacity. This is a major challenge for manufacturers pursuing smart manufacturing. 02 How One Machine Can Deliver More Than Twice the Capacity The GBOS VC9-3080T Gantry-Type Multifunctional Digital Cutting Machine challenges the traditional approach of assigning one machine to one task. By integrating multiple cutting functions into a single system, it...
