Have you ever heard of advanced manufacturing? The term refers to Industry 4.0, which is characterized by remote production controls, which are carried out through sensors and equipment connected in a network.<\/p>\n

Although many believe that this concept is far from being implemented, in reality it is already applicable and has been tested in the market. To learn more about this topic, just continue reading!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is advanced manufacturing, exactly?<\/h2>\n

In practice, an industry that uses advanced manufacturing <\/a> has intelligent assembly lines that have minimal human interaction. Assembly lines and products exchange information, carrying out work autonomously.<\/p>\n

The systems exchange information including about purchases and stock, indicating when a material is running out so that replacement can be carried out. Sensors then detect and notify the supply chain, which delivers the materials on demand.<\/p>\n

What benefits does it provide to the textile industry?<\/h2>\n

With advanced manufacturing, consumers are able to design their own clothes, using technologies that enable mass customization. This possibility of customization will satisfy different buyer profiles, who will be able to purchase the product with the chosen style and in the right sizes.<\/p>\n

Among the benefits are inventory reduction and production gains.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, time will be saved, as production will be autonomous and more agile. As raw materials are replenished on demand and products are sold when orders are requested, there is still a reduction in inventory.<\/p>\n

With less human interference, consequently, fewer failures occur. As long as the system is working properly, all parts will be produced equally and with the expected quality.<\/p>\n

This is because Big Data helps to understand different possible scenarios, then simply interpret such data to make the best decision. Productive gain <\/a> is really impactful when analyzed in general.<\/p>\n

Who is already implementing it?<\/h2>\n

If this scenario is far from becoming reality for you, know that the technology is already available, all that is needed is for companies to start using it. Proof of this is the SENAI CETIQT<\/a> 4.0 clothing model factory.<\/p>\n

In it, the consumer uses a virtual mirror that simulates the product worn, then chooses customizations such as prints and sizes. A collaborative robot measures muscle tone to adapt the modeling. The consumer signs the work and it goes to production, which starts on a printer.<\/p>\n
