Key Takeaways:
- Environmental factors such as energy and water consumption, pollution, material waste, and the supply chain footprint impact the fashion industry daily. To control sustainability efforts, companies must take advantage of advanced digitalization solutions such as cloud nesting and on-demand manufacturing.
- A cloud-based, automated nesting solution can forecast fabric consumption and preproduction costs with greater accuracy, making resource optimization and waste reduction easier to implement, track, and trace.
- On-demand production can improve equipment efficiency, increase material throughput, and develop higher-quality garments to extend product and equipment utilization and reduce production costs.
To stay ahead of the curve, material optimization and agility in production are key if brands want to limit their material waste, improve efficiency, and control product consistency and quality. Energy and water consumption, pollution, material waste, and the supply chain footprint are major environmental factors that impact the fashion industry daily. If companies want to control their sustainability efforts such as reducing, optimizing, and limiting the amount of waste through their operations, they must take advantage of advanced digitalization solutions, such as cloud nesting and on demand manufacturing.
Through a cloud-based, automated nesting solution, companies can forecast their fabric consumption and preproduction costs with greater accuracy. This enhances fashion brands’ manufacturing processes by empowering executives with performance data to make resource optimization and waste reduction easier to implement, track and trace. Using an on-demand solution connects and automates on-demand production so brands can improve equipment efficiency, increase material throughput and develop higher-quality garments to extend product and equipment utilization and reduce production costs.
