AUTOMATION THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED IN THE LONG RUN

This issue of PERFECT SOURCING highlights the need for automation and its growing importance in the apparel industry. While on the one hand, automation in the apparel industry has become the need of hour, especially with increase in labour cost and less availability of skilled labour, on the other it has become an extra burden on manufacturers as most of the automatic technology available is expensive and getting a return on investment for the same is not an easy task.
In this issue we have highlighted areas of automation and their usefulness in saving
time, money and resources. Alongside, we spoke to many production experts on how
automation has proved in terms of attaining results and the success rate in achieving
desired results. While most technology suppliers assure us that it is one of the most
reliable ways of reducing overheads, the users of this technology feel that complete
automation has its own glitches, but with the increasing cost of labour, there is no
option other than to rely on these automated technologies.
