Foot health is crucial to the human body, but finding a well-fitting pair of shoes is difficult. Due to the confusing shoe sizing system, most consumers struggle to find shoes that match their feet. Incorrect sizing leads to many returns and disposals. Producers face uncertainties in different stages, resulting in overproduction and inefficient resource use.



Arcdate is an advanced data collection and management system for the footwear industry, offering products and services for various stakeholders. By leveraging 3D scanning technology and a big data platform, Arcdate helps consumers find the best-fitting shoes through 3D foot profiles and personalized recommendations while providing producers with accurate data to optimize production, reduce waste, and minimize financial losses.



The Arcdate stationary 3D foot scanner enhances the in-store shopping experience. Consumers can take off shoes, stand on the scanner, and complete a foot scan in less than a minute. The store terminal will quickly analyze the 3D foot data to offer personalized recommendations based on available inventory.



The Arcdate portable foot scanner supports efficient online shopping. After paying a rental fee, consumers can scan their feet at home to create a 3D foot profile. The Arcdate app then provides personalized recommendations based on their profile, helping them discover new brands, evaluate the fit rate of interested shoes, and record their wearing experiences.



The Arcdate multi-functional information platform acts as the system's central hub of data. It acts like a professional footwear engineer to provide producers with valuable insights for optimizing R&D and production. It is also a patient consultant to bring consumers smooth and satisfying shopping experiences.



The Arcdate system reveals the positive future potential of the mass production model in the footwear industry. The potential impacts on the whole industry include:



Improving consumer experience: Simplifying the shoe sizing system, promoting foot health, and reducing waste from returns and disposals.



Seamlessly integrating with production models: Requiring no costly manufacturing adjustments, while allowing producers to target customers more effectively.



Promoting sustainability: Reducing resource waste through optimized production and distribution, fostering responsible production and consumption.
