Daily analysesThe day that started with ‘disaster’ ended up well... It’s like a Bollywood movie in which everything always ends well. Or is it that we Indians have so few expectations... the people who were quite voracious and upset were the foreign participants because of the poor infrastructure and also the visitation, but the Indian counterparts were quite satisfied... I guess that is why the fair works at a larger platform.

Personally, I think lot of introspection is required on what type of technology should be displayed at the forum. The visitor-base has changed a lot since the event was initiated and increasingly we are seeing much more visitation from smaller towns as also domestic players...

Players from these areas and also those who are manufacturing for the domestic market are increasingly becoming the focus for the technology providers as they are the new investors and are giving a fresh lease of life to machine suppliers.

What I found very interesting on Day-2 was the number of companies coming from the south… I met the Production Head from Kitex Limited, Kerala and was impressed with his understanding of why automation and training are important in the industry… good to know that the industry is moving beyond the few known and established hubs. Also of interest was the new hub coming up in Sonepat.

Supplement for Day-2 is in today… a sum up of all that we heard and saw here at GTE.

Owing to adverse economic developments

in the competitive apparel manufacturing destinations such as rising cost of labour in China, non-compliance to safety standards and political unrest in Bangladesh, Cambodia facing labour problem, high cost of credit in Vietnam and appreciation of Indonesia’s currency, Viraf Turel, Managing Director, Turel Group expects a robust growth of 20% in Indian exports and 12% in the domestic market. “A good technology with limited automation is going to be the preferred technology by the industry,” reiterates Viraf.

BroTHer launches new range of sewing machines for eliminating manual thread trimming

Cost of manufacturing a quality product impacts

the profitability margin of the manufacturer as additional efforts are made to ensure adherence to pre-defined quality standards. This entails employing more workers, having more quality checkpoints and incorporating newer technologies. One such aspect of manufacturing, which requires extra workers, is thread trimming. These workers are not only a liability in terms of extra wages but are also the cause of rejections due to improper thread trimming.

To resolve this issue, Japanese sewing technology provider Brother Industries Ltd. has developed sewing solutions which it introduced at GTE 2015 at the booth of the company’s agent, Magnum Resources. “As per our estimation, 10 thread

trimmers are required for every 100 sewing machines. They are paid Rs. 8,000 per month, which amounts to an additional cost of Rs. 80,000 per month. Add to this the cost of rejected garments which are 0.36% of the daily output of 1,400 pieces, equivalent to 5 pieces, amounting to US $ 30 per day @ US $ 6 per piece. On a monthly basis, it would be an additional US $ 30 X 25 = US $ 750 or Rs. 45,000 burden. Hence, companies look for opportunities to save Rs. 1,25,000 (US $ 2008) every year,” points out Randeep Sahani, General Manager India, Brother.

Since reducing fixed costs such as on infrastructure, transportation, etc. is not possible, apparel manufacturers look at reducing variable manufacturing costs such as on labour. “Not only will

the new sewing machines meet buyers’ requirement of trimming less than 3 mm seam thread, but they will also resolve issues such as bird’s nest, clogging at thick edges and of short threads remaining,” adds Randeep.

Brother attributes the development of the new machines to its in-house R&D team, which has been working on the concept for the past 5 years. The Brother S-7300A is a single-needle direct-drive lockstitch machine with electronic feeding system, thread trimmer and a color LCD touch panel. It is the world’s first lockstitch sewing machine which adopts the electronic feeding system directly with stepping motor. It is a next generation lockstitch machine, which minimizes the remaining short thread length to just 3 mm, possible because of a 2-way trimming mechanism.

I am here to see what all new and innovative machines the suppliers are offering at the event. Hope to find something useful for my setup. The focus is on labour saving and productive machinery.”

The Indian apparel manufacturing industry

has been witnessing steady growth in both domestic sales and exports. It is driving companies to adopt new technologies and systems to optimize operations, reduce overheads, increase margins, and remain ahead of the competition. French company Lectra has more than 4 decades of global experience in optimising and speeding up product development and cutting room operations in the apparel industry, and it offers several solutions which the industry can use to meet the challenges in a dynamic market scenario. At this year’s Garment Technology Expo, Lectra is demonstrating its Kaledo® design solution, Modaris® 3D design solution, Diamino® marker making solution, Optiplan® cut order planning solution, Vector® cutting systems, and Lectra Fashion PLM for lean product development, optimising cutting room operations and increasing speed of product development. “We will use this opportunity to communicate our exciting plans for education institutions to enable students to face the changing needs of this industry, from design to production. For this we will organize a special event on our booth from 3 pm to 4 pm, on 2nd March,” shares Hari Kenkare, Marketing Coordinator, Lectra Technologies India.

The Vector cutting system enables manufacturers to save energy, reduce the number of workers per machine, minimize errors in production, and provides preventive/ maintenance alerts. The

Vector cutters are equipped with dynamic vacuum control which enables high pressure fabric holding and up to 15% reduction in energy usage. Their (vacuum control’s) over 120 sensors transmit data in real time such that Vector cutters can maintain a continuous dialogue from anywhere in the world with experts at Lectra’s five international call centres.

Lectra’s suite of solutions for product development encompasses fitting, costing, pattern & marker making, designing and communication. Lectra Fashion PLM seamlessly connects different teams to the product development ecosystem from the product’s conceptualization stage. Creative and technical

designers can add product specifications and other information directly from Adobe Illustrator, reducing the time usually spent on file management, and minimizing the risk of working on an old version of a file. The PLM’s deeper integration with Lectra’s 3D virtual product sampling, reduces the number of physical prototypes required, further reducing the cost and time to market, which results in better looking and better fitting styles. Design and product development teams can review several design options, check fit for multiple sizes, and make modifications by adding annotations to 3D snapshots. This collaborative platform enables extended teams to have direct access to this information and to also get it in real-time.

It is always interesting to visit the GTE and there is something new to see every time. This time at the fair I’m looking for new machines and technology for bikini manufacturing. The venue is also a good platform to catch up with what other people in the industry are doing.”

The Italian cutting room pioneer IMA is promoting

its exemplary range of Evo Plus synchronized cutting and spreading system. The completely synchronized range of loading, spreading, marking and cutting machines has already been installed at SKL Exports, MPM Textiles, AKR Textile and Shivalik Prints. “This range has the Phoenix 890 spreader with more than 100 installations worldwide, and has been awarded as the world’s best spreader,” says Guna Sekaran, Managing Director, IMA Asia Pacific. The new IMA Phoenix 890 is equipped with features such as an encoder group for spreading plies of different length without clamps, electronically controlled feeding and tension control mechanism, auto-diagnosis function, automatic braking

system, automatic edge alignment through infra-red photocells and low turret for easy loading-unloading of the cloth roll on double PVC belt. The spreader can spread fabric in six ways – face up, zigzag without clamps and end cut, zigzag with movable clamp and end cut, zigzag with clamps but without end cuts and face up with turntable.

The new Evo Plus 919 automatic cutting machines can cut compressed lay thickness from single ply to 70 mms of any kind of fabric. The use of latest electronics and total digital control of each single micro-function allows for detection and rectification of

any anomaly, even before it shows. This important technical innovation permits IMA Evo Plus 919 to adapt its own technical-operative specifications to different fabric types (from denim to Lycra) and to different lays (from 70 compressed mms to single ply), granting in any situation, consistent precision of cutting performances, maximum speed and vacuum power adaption to real requirements with high energy saving. Further, the Evo Plus cutter’s digital technology also allows the flexibility to setup the working conditions of the machine at every level (electronic and software) and to adjust to different cutting situations.

I am visiting GTE for the first time, which is an important platform to see latest technology and interact with the best brains in the business. I came looking for laser cutting machines, steam press and other new technologies required for men’s suit manufacturing. I’m happy to see that many companies are offering technologies for the same at various price points.”

The years has begun on a very positive note for the company. Having made sales worth Rs. 1 million this January IMA looks forward to a very receptive market.
