The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a sublayer in which a layer is applied on the basis of a sewing line as a unit and an apparatus thereof in making 3D clothing by computer simulation. A partial region within a pattern is designated by selecting a sewing line through a user interface, and a sublayer in which a layer is set on the basis of the sewing line is set.

Due to rapid advancement in computing technology of both hardware and software, the labor intensive sewing process has been transformed into a technology-intensive automated process. During an automated process, processing of a work piece can be visually monitored using a sensor system. Data gathered from the sensor system can be used to infer the condition and/or position of the work piece in the work area using, e.g., models of a sensor profile. Evaluation can be carried out before processing begins, during processing and/or after processing of the work piece. Examples of systems and methods are described that provide for initially and successively matching the model of the expected shape for a product work piece to a set of sensor readings of the work piece in order to determine the position of the work piece and support a variety of useful features.

A sewn product making apparatus such as a sewing robot can be used to produce a variety of products over a broad range of sizes, shapes or materials. Various examples are provided related to the automation of sewing robots, and the making of sewn products. In one example, among others, a system can generate a product making path using a product construction file, and instruct a sewing device and fabric mover(s) to automatically sew the product based upon the product making path. The product making path can be modified when a deviation is detected, and the sewing adjusted based upon the modified product making path. The product construction file can be generated using information from a computer aided design associated with the product.

A computer simulation technology that processes 2D clothing patterns and thus creates digital clothing. The purpose of the present disclosure is to easily adjust a length of another segment to be sewn the same as a length of a selected segment on a pattern when free-sewing.

The present embodiment provide a monitoring system for monitoring at least one of fixed equipment installed in a floor and a moving object moving in the floor, the fixed equipment and moving object being monitoring targets, the monitoring system includes a recognition device that recognizes the monitoring target and outputs recognition information, and a management device that collects position information of the monitoring target from the recognition information.

A sewing machine acquires a selected pattern that is selected from among a plurality of embroidery patterns. The sewing machine displays a pattern image representing the selected pattern. The sewing machine identifies a specified position indicated by the instruction. The sewing machine determines, when the selected pattern is acquired a plurality of times, whether one of a plurality of the pattern images is displayed at the identified specified position. When it is determined that the pattern image is displayed at the identified specified position, the sewing machine identifies the selected pattern for which the pattern image is displayed at the specified position as the editing target. When it is not determined that the pattern image is displayed at the identified specified position, the sewing machine identifies the selected pattern for which a mask region encompassing the selected pattern is set at the specified position as the editing target.

A computer-readable medium stores instructions for a processor in a sewing data generation device. When the instructions are executed, the processor acquires pattern data of embroidery pattern including partial patterns using different thread. If first common data indicating the same thread is included in first data of a first embroidery pattern and second data of a second embroidery pattern, the processor sets a sewing order in the first data, while causing the partial pattern using the thread of the first common data to be the partial pattern that is last in the sewing order in the first embroidery pattern, and sets a sewing order in the second data, while causing the partial pattern using the thread of the first common data to be the partial pattern that is first in the sewing order in the second embroidery pattern that is the embroidery pattern subsequently to the first embroidery pattern.

The sewing management system includes a sewing machine that performs sewing on a sewing line, a management server that manages various information on the sewing line, and a wearable terminal that detects physical condition management information of an operator on the sewing line. The sewing machine transmits production management information, including identification information of the operator who perform sewing operations on the sewing line and operation information of the main unit of the device, to the management server. The management server estimates a sewing skill of the operator based on the production management information and estimates the production capacity of the operator based on the physical condition management information.

The present embodiment provide a monitoring system for monitoring at least one of fixed equipment installed in a floor and a moving object moving in the floor, the fixed equipment and moving object being monitoring targets, the monitoring system includes a recognition device that recognizes the monitoring target and outputs recognition information, and a management device that collects position information of the monitoring target from the recognition information.
