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.

  • The footwear industry is undergoing a profound transformation. As consumer demand becomes increasingly personalized, manufacturers are faced with fragmented orders, shorter delivery cycles, and the need to process multiple materials simultaneously. Small-batch, high-mix production has become the new normal. However, many factories still rely on manual or semi-automatic marking processes that struggle to keep up with today’s manufacturing demands. Skilled marking operators are becoming harder to recruit, while labor costs continue to rise. Manual material positioning often leads to alignment errors, resulting in inconsistent marking quality and higher defect rates. Different production processes require different types of inks, forcing manufacturers to invest in multiple dedicated machines and separate production lines. At the same time, repetitive loading and unloading of cut parts consumes valuable labor hours, creating production bottlenecks during peak orders. To overcome these challenges, manufacturers need more than incremental improvements—they need an integrated, intelligent marking solution. 01. Smart Inkjet Marking System: One Platform for Every Footwear Application GBOS offers three specialized inkjet marking solutions that together support virtually every marking process used in footwear manufacturing. Whether producing standardized sports shoes or high-value specialty footwear, manufacturers can choose the configuration that best fits their production needs.

  • As graduation season approaches each year, demand for customized paper gifts continues to rise. From intricate university emblem greeting cards and appreciation cards for teachers to personalized paper-cut keepsakes for classmates, paper-based cultural and creative products have become meaningful ways for people to express their emotions. At the same time, the market for premium customized greeting cards is expanding rapidly. Today’s consumers are no longer satisfied with conventional flat cards—they seek sophisticated craftsmanship, personalized designs, and higher-quality finishes that reflect genuine sentiment. 01 Challenges Facing Today’s Paper Goods Manufacturers As customer expectations continue to evolve, greeting card production has become increasingly demanding. Modern buyers expect far more than simple die-cut cards. Intricate hollow patterns, multi-layer 3D structures, personalized portrait engraving, and unique customized designs have become premium value-added features. Meanwhile, stricter environmental regulations require manufacturers to deliver odor-free products with clean edges and no burn marks. However, many paper goods manufacturers still struggle with traditional production methods. Conventional die-cutting equipment offers limited flexibility for complex designs, while manual loading, unloading, and waste removal significantly reduce production efficiency. During seasonal demand peaks such as graduation season, labor shortages often become production bottlenecks. Traditional laser systems can also leave yellowed or charred...
