The document discusses recent developments in computerized and automated systems for garment manufacturing. It describes technologies like CAD for design, 3D body scanning, automated spreading machines, laser cutting, unit production systems for transporting garments through the manufacturing process, and automatic finishing machines. The key benefits of these computerized systems compared to manual processes are improved quality, higher efficiency and productivity, and reduced time needed for production.

2. 1.Introduction
 Manual works are being replaced
by automated and semi-
automated machines.
 Automations have improved the
quality of the product and
efficiency of the plant.

3. 2. Computer Aided Designing

4. Features of CAD
 Designers can easily create original
concepts or adapt existing ideas.
 Software are available for fabric
designing, fashion design, pattern
making, grading and marker planning.
 Communication tools helps us to
interact with the software and visualize
the exact output that we want.

8. 4. Automated Spreading
Machines
•Touch panel display.
•Cutting device
•Catcher
•Automatic fabric
relaxing control
•Edge control device
•Fabric loading sensor
•Flaw Detector
•Emergency stop.

9. •Laser cutting is clean and
silent.
• The beam can be
focalized on an extremely
small area (from 0.1 to
1mm in diameter).
• Unlike water and
traditional cutting systems,
light exerts no mechanical
pressure on the piece.
• The laser is a non-contact
instrument that guarantees.

11. 6.Automations in garment manufacturing:
Unit production system (UPS)
• Load all the pieces in a
product carrier.
• Product carrier with the
pieces is routed through the
different operation steps.
• At every machine/operation
the patented chain will
position the product ideally.
• Completed the product
arrives to an unloading
station.
• The empty product carrier
returns to the loading
station.

12. Transporter
System is used to
move the garment
components

2. Mixture of
steam/air
3. Hot air zone

16. 8. Summary
Using of computerized system for
garment manufacturing we can
observe that There is a significant
improvement in productivity, and
quality, leading to time reduction.
