Eficiencia Productiva
The textile and apparel industry is a constantly growing and highly competitive sector, so in addition to ensuring the quality of our garments and the timely delivery of our products, it is very important to understand how to produce well while using the least amount of resources possible.
Production efficiency refers to the excellent balance between the costs of manufacturing a product and the profit obtained from it.
Increasing fashion production by reducing waste through more efficient use of fabric contributes to the profitability of our business and digital transformation is a key tool to increase fashion production in companies of all sizes becoming an essential means for greater efficiency of creative and production processes.
Here I explain how digital transformation and the adoption of Industry 4.0 contribute to increased production and profitability:
Productivity
Replacing manual scribing with the use of patterns or markers printed on an inkjet plotter generates higher productivity, reduces errors and optimizes set-up times, achieving more in less time and always meeting your delivery deadlines or increasing the speed of the launch of your collections.
Efficiency
Digitizing patterns in CAD software allows you to take advantage of all the time needed for production, quickly generating high quality and accurate patterns and streamlining the scaling of garments. All this by simply taking a photograph of your paper molds.
Cost and waste reduction
Markers’ specialized CAD software calculates the maximum utilization of raw materials ensuring that waste is reduced or even eliminated.
Reduction of errors and reprocessing
Reducing the tasks performed by humans by using intelligent human-operated software reduces the amount of errors and rework in production.
Adopting these recommendations together will lower your direct costs, avoid invisible production costs, and make your fashion production more efficient, faster and more accurate.
These are the 3 most important technological tools to save resources and increase productivity in the garment industry.
