Fremont, CA: Currently trending technology in apparel manufacturing indicates a bright future for apparel manufacturing technology. Designing products with artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the industry. Technology streamlines manufacturing supply chains to expedite production, facilitate direct-to-consumer distribution, redefine shopping experiences online and in stores, and create personalized products. In apparel manufacturing today, five popular trends include machine learning, supply chain improvements, rapid data analytics, 3D capabilities, and customized production.
The Rise of Robotic Manufacturing
A hand-stitched garment is unbeatable in many situations. In the fashion industry, a trained professional provides a level of quality that is priceless. By eliminating manual intervention at key stages of production, machine learning is enhancing apparel design. In robotic manufacturing, outdated processes, such as traditional sewing machines, are being replaced with advanced technology, such as laser cutting machines, buttonhole machines, and fusing machines.
Streamlined Supply Chains
Keeping a strong presence in the apparel industry requires quick lead times, prompt deliveries, and flawless products. A hiccup in your supply chain could damage your growth and revenue. It is possible to control the flow of production by actively streamlining your supply chain. You can eliminate production delays and disruptions by bringing sourcing, packaging, and shipping into-house.
Instant Data Analysis
The apparel industry is driven by fashion trends that influence consumer buying patterns. To stay up to date with which styles and trends buyers’ desire, you need to be able to pull reports instantly and analyze production data quickly. Each day, dynamic software is developed that integrates cloud computing with manufacturing processes to deliver comprehensive data to all supply chain parties. By doing this, all departments and partners will be able to receive and discuss data instantly.
3D Technology
Industry across the globe is being revolutionized by 3D rendering and printing. Using a variety of materials, these innovative machines can quickly customize products. T-shirts, pants, shoes, and hats can all be printed on demand when incorporated into garment manufacturing technology. Furthermore, 3D rendering allows designers to manipulate the design in real-time to ensure that the creation reflects the design's specifications exactly. This creates a more accurate representation of how the finished product will look.
Sustainable and Customized Production
Customized apparel can also be produced using 3D technology using sustainable methods. Customized clothing is in high demand among consumers. Making-to-order products are sold before they are manufactured, giving suppliers the benefit of a committed sale prior to investing in production. They use fewer resources and are cheaper to produce since they are made-to-fit.
