Shima Seiki Mfg., Ltd. of Wakayama, Japan is set to partake in the Première Vision show, the global event for fashion professionals, to be held on January 16 and 17, 2018, in New York, in booth L14. Shima Seiki is a leading manufacturer in the computerised flatbed knitting machine industry and the pioneer in complete garment manufacturing technology.
The company will participate in the “Manufacturing” area dedicated to technical and logistical manufacturing solutions as sole machine technologist with a machine exhibit.
Given current conditions in garment manufacturing especially in the US, Shima Seiki’s proposals at Première Vision New York should be of timely significance. Reinforcing the Made in USA movement for returning garment production back on-shore, consumer trends such as increase in online shopping activity have also changed supply chain requirements, with growing demand for mass customisation and short turnaround. The combination of Shima Seiki’s Wholegarment knitting technology and SDS-ONE APEX3 3D design system offers an ideal manufacturing model to support such new demand in e-commerce and customisation.
Because of their capability to produce elegant items in their entirety in 3D without the need for sewing or linking, Wholegarment knitting machines realise high-quality quick response production thanks to reduced lead times as well as reduced dependence on labour. These qualities are maximised with the latest MACH2XS machine which will be displayed at Première Vision.
Wholegarment knitting, together with the aforementioned SDS-ONE APEX3, form a synergy that provides revolutionary game-changing flexibility in the knit supply chain. Ultra-realistic simulation capability on APEX3 allows virtual sampling to minimise the time, cost, energy and material that the sample-making process requires with current manufacturing. With this new manufacturing model, on-demand knitting realises optimised inventory, eliminating waste from the production cycle for truly sustainable fashion. (GK)
