Since past few years, we all have been discussing the scope of Indian growth that lies ahead
I would briefly touch upon the need for improvement in the Indian Textile industry
I shall elaborate the of adoption of digital methods of growth
And shall cite a few examples how globally the industry has adopted digitalisation to improve performance and enhance consumer experience.

4. Evolving Sourcing Preferences
Design/Branding
Logistics/Sourcing
Production
Raw Materials
Yarn Production
Fabric Production
Apparel Production
Distribution Sales
Accessories
India Ideal Sourcing base
Equipment/ Machinery
India has presence at all levels across the textile value chain. Only very few countries have this advantage.
We are capable of delivering both products and services along with the spice of variety.
Need to improve quality and scale of our deliverables
Buyers prefer more transparency and ease of operations.
Increasing Value Addition
Tangible Manufacturing
Intangible Services
Buyers prefer solution providers

5. Indian Textiles: Creating Competence
Research and Training
Manufacturing Facilities
Robust Economy and Financial Backup
Logistics
In FY India exported $ 37 bn textiles. Only 48% of this was ready made garments.
It is opportunity lost.
Large amount of value addition is still required.
We need to grow our fabric production, finishing and garmenting facilities.
Adequate Raw Materials
Further Focus Areas

6. Indian Textiles: Size Matters
India Share: 20%
Need For
Integration
and Scale
Spindles
India Share: 45%
Shuttle-Less Looms (India Share): 5%
Just building capacity is not enough.
India has 54 million spindles, global share of 20%.
India has 24 lakh looms, However only 80,000 are shuttle-less looms.
India has a global share of only 5% in shuttle-less looms.
Along with downstream integration, we also have to build scale.
Efficiency, better economies and superior quality.
Weaving Looms
Shuttle-Less Looms (Organised): 2%
Opportunity for investment in shuttle-less looms

7. Textiles: Growing Digitally
Make In India
Today is digital age
Capacity growth has to be accompanied with digitalisation

9. Building a Digital Ecosystem: Need of the Future
Procurement
Production
Machinery
Purchasing Pattern
Logistics
Services
Everything is connected
Need to integrate machinery for efficient execution
Adapt to changing customers and purchasing
Procurement Production Logistics Services
No unit is isolated.

All these data are generated at various levels of interaction.
Machines interact amongst themselves as a system
System interacts with users and consumers
Gives rise to products and applications.
Constant feedback giving rise to solutions
Let us go further to examine how data is generated and utilized at various levels in the textile industry.

11. Weaving the Digital Fabric
Lets look at few examples used in textile industry

12. Factory Floor: Automation and Integration
Vision Sewing System
Sewing patches, emblems, appliques etc
Deskill the operation
Increase production speed & consistent quality
Source: Qondac
Sewing Network (Qondac 4.0)
Network 1500 machines
Centralized coordination/program setting
Easy indivisualisation
Real time status and quick redressal
Vision Sewing System
Embroidery is a skill oriented.
Machines eliminates high skill requirement. Reads design and stitches automatically.
Sewing Network
Large number of machines can be integrated to one network.
Only one person can handle all machines simultaneously.
Also can control different setting in different machines.

19. Model Factory: Affordable Customisation
Digital Textile Micro Factory
Textile CAD
Digital Printing
Identify Customer Needs and Design the dress
Cutting
Stitching
The digital Textile Micro Factory was presented first time at the Heimtextil in 2017.
Starting with the designing and printing of the fabric to the final stitching and labelling all processes are automated.
The process is scalable and can be programmed to manufacture as small a cycle size of one unit.
It enables individualised products to be manufactured in a competitive, regional way.
This opens up new avenues for customization, sample design and product testing at affordable costs.
