As a global hub for athletic shoe production, several domestic footwear manufacturing clusters are undergoing a profound transformation from "manufacturing" to "smart manufacturing."
On one hand, leading enterprises are using AI-powered intelligent design models to drastically compress the R&D cycle for athletic shoes—from a month down to just a few days.
On the other hand, breakthroughs in new material R&D are tackling industry pain points, such as balancing breathability with waterproofing, and integrating cutting-edge graphene technology into material design to significantly enhance product lightweighting and structural strength.
Additionally, the application of embodied AI robots and automated production lines is substantially reducing labor costs while boosting production efficiency.
