Abstract: The current one-piece flow assembly line cannot effectively solve two core problems such as process balance, individual workload and qualified rate statistics. A novel one-piece flow assembly line was developed aiming at the problem. The automatic flow assembly line consists of a mechanical transmission system, an electrical control system and a software system. The mechanical driving system, the electrical control system and the software system were designed one by one. The on-site test in factory results show that the system can acquire and analyse the production process parameters such as product specifications, quantity, production qualification rate, tact time and operators. The system can greatly improve production efficiency and the level of information management of clothing enterprises which will provide technical guidance for the development of China's clothing manufacturing equipment.

Key words: one-piece folw, assembly line, process balance, main control system
