ITMA 2007: Information Technology in the Textile Pipeline |
|
2007-4-28
Flexible production, short delivery times and globally organised production are not possible without the use of sophisticated information technologies. Consequently, an increasing share of investments of the textile and clothing industry is being put into software and information technologies systems for developing internal processes and integrating the pre- and post-stages of the textile value-added chain. This development will also be reflected at ITMA 2007 in Munich. More than one third of all ITMA exhibitors will offer modern software solutions for all areas of textile engineering.
Competition in a short time-to-market makes it imperative for companies to plan production efficiently with management of demand, product data and suppliers to ensure smooth control of product cycles from the initial idea to retail sales of goods. This requires strong integration of production control in supply chain management by the textile and clothing industries. This is linked with substantial demands on logistic planning and control systems, because time is becoming an increasingly important competitive factor in the development of complex value-added chains.
Thanks to automatic identification using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), bottlenecks can be identified quickly and the complete production and logistics area can be optimised. Process optimisation in partnership has become an important success factor in the textile and clothing industries in the meantime. The goal is the creation of a high degree of transparency of all processes in the value-added chain as well as smooth flow of information throughout every part of the textile chain.
The competitive factor in the textile and clothing industry is also based increasingly on its ability to act innovatively. This requires comprehensive innovation and knowledge management on the part of companies. ITMA visitors can obtain information about the latest trends in this sector from software companies in the centrally located Hall A2. The internal know-how of employees is thereby supplemented with knowledge acquired externally from the Internet, trade publications, trade conferences and trade fairs. ITMA 2007 provides the ideal platform for this with its complete offer of machines and accessories for the whole textile pipeline from fibre manufacturing all the way to clothing production. Consequently, a visit to the “Place for Innovation” in Munich from 13 to 20 September 2007 is a must for all specialists and managers from the textile and clothing industry, who want to obtain information about the novelties and trends in textile engineering.
