This document discusses the use of real-time data in the garment industry. It defines real-time data as information delivered immediately after collection without delay. The garment industry has lagged other industries in adopting new technologies. Real-time data sharing is important to ensure smooth workflow within and between departments. Real-time production data allows managers to make quick decisions and check reports from anywhere. A system called QONDAC Networks from Durkopp Adler links sewing machines in a network to analyze productivity and enable remote maintenance.

Introduction Real Time
Data
Garment Industry Vs Real
Time Data

• The apparel industry has been regarded generally as lagging
behind other industries such as electronics and automotive
industries in regards to the utilization of innovative technologies
• For tracing the textile products is difficult because of the
properties of textile material so its difficult to gain the real time
data related to the product
• Most of the garment industry they use a paper to trace their
product information
• The automation level of the machineries .Most of the
production is done only one task example sewing machine only
doing sewing it can not able to record the data
• All garment industry machinery are not Networking to each
other

7. Why real time
