All are looking forward to ITMA 2019 to see the next level of sustainable technologies Textile Today Analysis The textile industry is an immensely global value chain that has a great impact on every country in the world either directly or indirectly. For example, solid waste problem generated mainly in the west from the ‘Fast Fashion’ trend has created a demand of establishing ‘Circular Fashion’ and the whole textile world is likely to feel the corresponding changes.

The advent of ‘Industry 4.0’ and its impact also will not only be confined in its developers mainly the European country.

So whether it is a problem or an innovation, everything has to be shared globally in the age of globalization. So, the global platforms are very important which are setting the trends and changing businesses of the future. In addition, whether it is sustainability or anything else, all the stakeholders in the textile industry are looking forward to ITMA 2019 to be held in Barcelona, Spain.

ITMA has been called, as the Olympic of textile machinery is the world’s most important textile and garment machinery exhibition since 1951. It has been a catalyst for changing and competitiveness for the industry over the years.

This time the exhibition will be held from 20 to 26 June 2019 at Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via venue where over 1,600 exhibitors will exhibit their latest technologies and sustainable solutions.

Why sustainability is the center focus In recent time, sustainability issues are getting priority in all aspects of the textile and apparel industry.

ITMA 2019 to be held in Barcelona.

Companies from Germany, Switzerland, and the UK will not fall short as well.

Digitalization & automation Every company’s solution need to complete in a digital way, which aims to maximize profits while achieving zero inventory loss, zero leftover stock, and zero, lost sales opportunity and most importantly zero waste through smart, speedy and sustainable production.

Without automation and integral decision making it won’t be possible.

Machinery companies are continuously working on bringing new featured machinery making things digitalized connected through smart devices. They will be showcasing the latest technology for better productivity to cope up with fast fashion trends as automation can offer cost reduction and value-addition in garments products.

Automation, especially in an integrated textile and garment manufacturing chain, will help address the fashion and clothing industry’s current concerns of short production cycles and sustainable business practices, according to CEMATEX, the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers.

What is new in ITMA 2019?

ITMA innovation lab is the main attraction of the people aims at driving industry focus on technological research and development. Innovation Lab will provide an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with a truly international gathering of expert researchers and academics who are involved in a vast range of textile-related projects.

Christine Karin Schmidt, Chair of the CEMATEX working group of the ITMA Innovation Lab, and Technical Director of VDMA Textile Machinery Association explained, “There is much more to be discovered at the ITMA Innovation Lab. The Innovation

Figure 2: At ITMA 2015, a remarkable number of global visitors turned up for textile solutions.

Video Showcase will spotlight the most groundbreaking exhibits at ITMA 2019.

“By presenting these latest innovations in a video format at the Speakers Platform, CEMATEX aims to further promote excellence in R&D and make the Innovation Lab a hotspot that will inspire visitors from all sectors of the textile and apparel making industry.”

Automation and Industry 4.0 are one of the key focus areas in Europe, and Germany’s Institutes of Textile and Fibre Research Denkendorf (DITF), for example, has recently been involved in the multi-company co-ordination of digital textile micro-factories.

These have involved fully automated and interlinked textile production lines for ‘make on demand’ products – from design through to the finished and printed garment.

Many major textile institutions from across Europe, organizations will also be present at the show from North and South America, Asia and Australia. Adding to the vibrancy of the area will be a number of first-time participants, such as Fundació Eurecat, Leitat Technological Centre, Manchester Metropolitan University, Mittelstand 4.0-Kompetenzzentrum Textil Vernetzt, Thomas Jefferson University, and Universidad De Buenos Aires’ Fadu, Cátedra Nirino Diseño Textil.

Within Europe, some key research trends in individual countries are notable, even as the European Union’s comprehensive research programs strive towards encouraging co-operative projects across borders.

In both France and Germany, for example, there is a strong emphasis on the further development of textile technologies for the composites industry, backed by major enduser organizations such as Airbus, as well as car brands such as BMW, Daimler, Peugeot-Citroen, Renault and Volkswagen.

Reinforcements for composites involve a wide range of technologies, which will be displayed at ITMA 2019, including weaving and knitting, as well as nonwovens manufacturing, embroidery and braiding.

One nerve center for developments in this area is RWTH Aachen University, where more than 20 university institutes focus on state-of-the-art production techniques and are cooperating with machinery makers, robotics companies and software developers to make manufacturing processes efficient enough to allow high-wage countries such as France and Germany to compete on a global level.

Technology can transform apparel industry FT Research Team New wage board of apparel industry is already in effect from this December, price war is also on the battlefield and production cost is increasing constantly. For this reason, it is being gradually hard for the apparel makers to secure a better profit margin.

However, they are not sitting idle, rather trying to find out different ways to increase the profit margin.

In this regard, technological development or automation could be a better solution as it helps to cut production cost and increase

productivity.

In this situation, automation is the crying need for the industry to sustain the business,” he also added.

Vietnam, Turkey, India, Cambodia etc. rival countries are also seeing a huge growth within a short span of time in the apparel export earnings. China is already shifting their focus from basic textile to more high-end and technical products, which is creating an opportunity for others.

But, experts predict that after China, Bangladesh is a more capable and ready hub for the apparel industry and it is also working really hard to grab more global market share. After the Rana Plaza incident, Bangladeshi RMG industry has improved the safety standard significantly which restored the buyer’s confidence and they are now positive of placing more orders here.

However, as competition is getting harder day by day, so that, there is no option to stop the progress process. In addition, to sustain in this competition, Bangladesh apparel manufacturers need to adopt technology that will further boost the industry.

Right now 51% increase of workers wage is the headache for the apparel manufacturers, as they have to find way outs to stay afloat. There could be many solutions but the technology could play a vital role in this context.

H N Ashiqur Rahman, General Manager of Brother International Singapore Pte Ltd, working as a technology provider for more than a decade in the apparel industry said to Textile Today, “Technology always opens a new horizon for the manufacturers.

As a technology provider, we are committed to support the industry with better technology.

We are continuously working to add new cost-saving features to our machines that will give extra mileage to the manufacturers.”

“Currently automation could create an opportunity to expand our garments industry in terms of productivity and value-

The most beneficial feature of S-7250A is ‘puckering free sewing quality’. Because DFF technology can change the feed motion depending on sewing material and process.

Before at A-One Polar Ltd, the machine-man ratio was 1:1.2 but after installing Brother’s m/c, it is reduced to 1:0.8 which is remarkable for both parties.

“We are saving crores of Tk. by using Brother’s m/c specifically the S-7250A and it is also helping

How technology is the solution Many people may say that Bangladesh is not enough prepared to catch the opportunity that has been created for China’s policy. And many may ask “Is Bangladesh enough capable to take that huge load?” The answer is “Yes”! But, many issues have to be considered to remain competitive and to ensure a better profit margin.

involvement is a must. So, other than technology, an increase of manpower efficiency also could save a significant amount of money.

Concededly, technology providers will always provide the latest technology but manufacturers should know what is suitable for them and which technology will last longer and would be feasible for them. It is often seen that factory owners love to buy low price machinery but in the end, it turns into a cost center!
