| | August 20204EditorialIndustry 4.0 is here and no industry is shying away from reaping the benefits of the technology available. The most profound change we will see in the fashion supply chain of the future is the ability to gather real-time data during the production process and use it to increase production efficiency. Production lines can be optimized by exchanging specific data and even individual processes (such as sewing) can be improved in terms of efficiency through automation, self-optimization and the use of artificial intelligence.We are going to experience changes in how people interact with machines. In developed countries, human-machine interactions will be driven by demographic change and a shortage of skilled workers. Trends point to integrated production technologies and hybrid processes in which several steps are grouped into a single machine. Mass customization leads fashion and apparel brands to produce their models in the proximity of end consumers.Innovations in the textile and fashion industry can be seen in the initial applications of human-machine communication, such as voice-controlled weaving devices. Other changes, such as artificial intelligence in big data, will take longer. Some technologies will take several years until they are mature enough, such as fully automated spinning. When comparing digital solutions, sensor-assisted production data collection ­ for example, with RFID ­ will have the greatest effect on process efficiency and product quality. The Adidas "factory-shop" is a good example of where things can go. It's a new approach where product development, from custom design to production, actually happens in the store. Such an application is promising from an economic point of view. There are numerous examples that are already in play in various stores and factories. This edition is dedicated to the few tech enablers in the textile & apparel industry. We hope to see these enablers play a major role in the country's textile economy next year.Do let us know what you think.Emmanuel Christi DasManaging Editoreditor@cioreviewindia.comWith a Drape for TechnologyVOL 8 · ISSUE 9 - 3 · AUGUST 21, 2020 PublisherOffice Editorial queries editor@cioreviewindia.com To subscribeVisit www.cioreviewindia.com/magazine/or send email to: subscription@cioreviewindia.comCover price is Rs 150 per issueAshok KumarVirupakshi PattarAlok ChaturvediGroup Art DirectorVP - Sales & MarketingMagendran PerumalCirculation ManagerEditorial TeamCIOReviewIndia No. 124, 2nd Floor, Surya Chambers, Old Airport Road, Murugheshpalya, Bangalore-560017ManjunathS SivasankarManaging EditorEmmanuel Christi DasVisualizersAdvertising queriessales@cioreviewindia.comBangaloreTel 080 46441103Sales & MarketingAmrit SinghIndranil ChakrabortyRavi Kalgi Rohit RaghubanshiNagendra KumarPrinted and published by Alok Chaturvedi on Behalf of Bizprint Media Technologies Pvt Ltd and Printed at Precision Fototype Services at Sri Sabari Shopping Complex, 24 Residency Road Bangalore-560025 and Published at No. 124, 2nd Floor, Surya Chambers, Old Airport Road, Murugeshpalya, Bangalore-560017.
