Publisher's Synopsis
In the apparel industry, it is often seen that productivity is communicated in terms of number of garments produced per sewing machine per shift or per operator per shift.
Following the above concept, a series of articles review the different levels of technology solutions available for an operation, the make and models of machinery and equipment available in the market. At the outset, it must be borne in mind that many of the operations are complex, time consuming and require a skilled operator. The process can be greatly simplified by using automatic machines available for the purpose, which, promisingly enough, also give a fair ROI. This is calculated for each of the operations to gauge the overall advantage an automatic machine holds over a basic manually operated one.
