SIMAC & TANNINGTECH 2013, one of the most prestigious events in the global fashion, technology, leather, and leather products industries, took place from October 8 to 10 at the Bologna International Exhibition Center in Italy. During the same period, the LINEAPELLE Autumn Leather Exhibition was also held in the same venue. According to the organizers, while the total number of visitors remained similar to the previous year, there was a notable increase in high-quality attendees. Over 248 companies from 22 countries participated, showcasing innovations in footwear, leather goods, leather technology, and machinery. The official pavilions represented regions such as Eastern Europe (including Bulgaria, Russia, and Ukraine), Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, South America, and Asia. LINEAPELLE also unveiled its autumn/winter 2014 fashion trends, setting the tone for the upcoming season.
The exhibition continued to highlight cutting-edge technologies that not only ensure product quality but also promote environmental sustainability and social harmony throughout the production process. This year’s event lived up to expectations, with numerous companies presenting their latest innovations and advanced materials. The show featured unexpected breakthroughs, pushing the boundaries of design, automation, and efficiency in the industry.
**Keyword 1: Intelligence**
1. **Smart Design**
This year’s CAD sector saw participation from three leading international software companies: Shoemaster (Italy), Delcam (UK), and Mind (Portugal). They showcased their 2014 shoe design software, which introduced new intelligent features. For instance, DelcamShoemaker 2014 included a transition from manual imitation to independent development, allowing for more efficient 3D modeling. The software enables real-time visualization, helping consumers view and customize shoes online before placing orders. It also includes automated color and line variations, reducing labor input and speeding up the design process.
2. **Intelligent Identification and Calculation**
CAMOGA, an Italian shoe machine manufacturer, presented a groundbreaking leather scanning technology. This system can identify and classify natural leather defects, automatically calculating utilization rates. It helps optimize material use by assigning different quality levels (A, B, C, D) to various parts of the leather, ensuring the best sections are used for critical components like toe caps.
3. **Smart Typesetting**
Leather typesetting has long been a challenge in NC processing. Dongguan Emma from China introduced the "iwin Love Cloud" multi-core cloud-based intelligent typesetting system. With a 2-4 times faster calculation speed than previous versions, it significantly improves production efficiency and reduces manual workload. This technology has already been tested at major fairs, including the China International Leather Fair.
4. **Smart Operation**
CERIM, a leading Italian clamp force machine company, introduced the "CALIBRATORE" visual system. This smart tool uses cameras and software to ensure precise alignment during production, even for left and right shoes. It simplifies operations, making it accessible to non-experts while maintaining high-quality standards.
5. **Smart Delivery**
ANZANI and VOLONTE demonstrated advanced "smart delivery technology," enabling efficient order differentiation and three-dimensional transmission between sewing seams, minimizing manual intervention.
6. **Smart Peeling**
Future shoe-making is trending toward modular and small-batch production. Smart peelers now allow computers to store and recall previous operations, improving efficiency and reducing reliance on manual experience.
**Keyword 2: Automation**
With industrialization advancing, automation has become essential. SIMAC & TANNINGTECH continues to showcase the latest in shoemaking and leather automation.
1. **Automatic Cutting**
Top CNC cutting machine brands like COMELZ, TESEO, ATOM, EliTRON, and EMMA (Dongguan Emma) displayed advanced technologies, including multi-head cutting systems designed to boost productivity and reduce labor dependency.
2. **Automatic Sewing**
This year's automatic sewing machines offered improved precision, including 360-degree rotation and multi-level stitching capabilities, enabling complex designs with greater accuracy.
3. **Clamp Machine Automatic Glue**
New smart glue application systems can adjust glue thickness and location automatically, reducing waste and improving finish quality.
4. **Automatic Transmission**
Robotic arm-assisted transfer systems now handle tasks like shaping and clamping without human intervention, streamlining the production process.
5. **Automatic Grinding**
Automated sanding and polishing technologies have been introduced, offering more consistent results and reducing manual effort.
6. **Automatic Spray Adhesive**
Smart spray adhesive systems use cameras to precisely control the application, ensuring uniform coverage and minimizing waste.
7. **Automatic Injection**
Injection molding techniques now eliminate the need for manual bonding, significantly increasing efficiency.
8. **Automatic Polishing**
While still in early stages, robotic polishing systems are being developed to replace manual processes in the future.
9. **Automatic Logistics**
Warehousing and logistics automation ensures faster product movement, improving supply chain efficiency and order fulfillment.
Automation is no longer a distant dream—it is here, transforming the industry through smart planning and resource optimization.
