As the first unmanned factory was put into practice in Dongguan recently, is it far for leather goods manufacturer to go unmanned?
For leather goods manufacturers, factories won’t go unmanned in a short while. While unmanned factories primarilyserve such industries of standardized production, it’s unrealistic for machines to utterly replace handicraft in a highly hand-reliant industry such as the leather goods manufacture. Also, handicraft is a point of value for some leather goods. Thus, leather goods manufacturers don’t need a complete mechanical transformation, since senior craftsmen are still valuable.
Leather goods manufacturers that focus on craftsmanship won’t accept the unmanned factories. Nonetheless, those seeking mass production and a high standardized level will gradually replace manpower with machines to eventually make unmanned factories available some day in the future.
