Renowned soccer brand Adidas’ insole board process originally needs 5 working process (WIP), which are insole board cementing, insole board size stamping, shank board skiving, shank board cementing, and insole and shank boards attaching. These WIP require 5 labors and 5 machines.
MINZ Automation Team analyzes each WIP with shoe producer to develop a brand new WIP. The result is the same product now being produced by only 1 labor and 1 machine.
