Digitization, garment-making’s new revolution

The Human Solutions Group showcased at the Texprocess from May 9 to 12, 2017 in hall 4.0, C21, how digitization is revolutionising product development in the apparel industry. The Group offers innovative solutions for all process steps.

Becoming digital, step-by-step – these days many apparel industry companies are going down that route with their product development. At the Texprocess, the Human Solutions Group showcased product development, production and showroom solutions – and several rooms are solely dedicated to the various process steps.

“At the Texprocess, we showed our guests just what digitization can do for them – and that it’s no longer a pipe dream. Digital is now – we have developed our solutions for the Texprocess to such an extent that the entire product development process chain is now digitally possible,” says Dr. Andreas Seidl, CEO of Human Solutions. “In our booth rooms, visitors experienced how our solutions can be integrated into a perfect interactive process and how they can reduce their time to market significantly.”

How to design a customised garment and produce it within a short timeframe was showcased in the Digital Textile Micro Factory in Hall 6. In the Microfactory, presented for the first time at the Texprocess, one could see the completely-integrated production chain for textiles right before the eyes – from design and digital printing to automatic cutting and ready-made apparel, and the Human Solutions subsidiary Assyst uses the 3D simulation software Vidya to demonstrate how a garment is created digitally. The Digital Textile Micro Factory is a joint project with the DITF Denkendorf and other partner companies.
