Tooling Customization: A Modern Narrative from Labor Protection to Identity

In an intelligent manufacturing factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, when Xiao Li, a young engineer, put on a newly customized tooling, the corners of his 
mouth unconsciously rose. The left chest of this dark blue suit is embroidered with his name and title, the cuffs are specially reinforced to adapt to his habit
