All the Industrial Revolutions started with introduction of a disruptive technology which acted as a change agent across industries

4. World is already adopting this change…
Values for 2015
Advanced Robotics
US$ 35 bn.
Artificial Intelligence
US$ 8 bn.
3D printing
US$ 5.2 bn
Wearables
US$ 0.7 bn.
Data Source: World Economic Forum
Presently, North America, Europe and some parts of Asia (China, Japan and South Korea) are leading in technology adoption

5. Factors Driving this Change …
Changing Demand & Supply Dynamics
Shorter product cycle, faster launches
Shift from high volume, low mix to low volume, high mix
Rising Limitations in Factors of Production
Scarcity of skilled labour
Rising wage cost
Ever Evolving Technology
Automation and efficiency in production
Gaining Scale in advanced material, robotics, nanotechnology
Strong Emphasis on Sustainability
Growing population and changes in lifestyle require development of new technologies that will be able to reduce the resources uses (water, material, energy)
Hence, it is right time to move towards advanced digitized technologies and new business models

6. Key levers that will reshape the textile industry
Big Data Analytics
Collection and Analysis of large sets of data
Used in making informed strategic and operational decision
Artificial Intelligence
Machines which can think humanly
Can be used for consumer trend predictions, self diagnosing machines
Advance Robotics
Application of automation in business operations
Extensive use possible in cut & sew industry
3D Printing
Creating 3-D objects using Computer Added Design (CAD)
It is generally used in high-end fashion products
Smart / Wearables Textiles
Intelligent textiles which can sense and react to environmental conditions
Used in textiles for health, military, defense, and sports
Internet of Things
Interconnected machines that can transfer data without human intervention
Automated monitoring of factory operations and predictive maintenance

7. Globally Companies are Already Gearing up for Textile 4.0
Hugo Boss is one of the forerunners of Textile 4.0
Factory in Izmir, Turkey produces 4 mn. pcs of garments annually
It is investing heavily in robotics & automation of processes
Goal: To create a digital twin of their facility.
Strategy: Digitization,
Automation, Robotics and finally Artificial Intelligence
Case-Study
Hugo Boss - Digital Twin Strategy
Hugo Boss is aiming to run an entire factory as one “Suit Machine” with focus areas as:
Robotics
Artificial Intelligence
100 Data Collecting Robots collect Data from Man, Machine and Material
Artificially Intelligent Machine that can predict maintenance requirement, schedule lines etc.
Focus on IT & R&D
Layout of Digital Factory
Establishment of IT Department and TecknoLab
3D Space Planning (Robots and Drones working from above)
One point access,
One point connect for all departments

8. Some Examples of Organizatio ns Exploring New Technologie s
Using Artificial Intelligence in Textile Processes
Developing Smart Wearables
AFFOA
THEN, Germany
Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA), is working towards the progressive textile industry
THEN Germany is working towards artificial intelligence application in textiles and apparel.
Programmable & Scannable Backpack - A coding system is woven into the plaid stripes on the backpacks
Recipe prediction for fluorescent dyes- Using Artificial Neural Networks
Fabric Lifi - Fabric-based communication system that converts LED light into sound
Artificially Intelligent Machine – Which can measure performance and carry out predictive maintenance
