Following the above concept, a series of articles review the different levels of technology solutions available for an operation, the make and models of machinery and equipment available in the market. At the outset, it must be borne in mind that many of the operations are complex, time consuming and require a skilled operator. The process can be greatly simplified by using automatic machines available for the purpose, which, promisingly enough, also give a fair ROI. This is calculated for each of the operations to gauge the overall advantage an automatic machine holds over a basic manually operated one.
The book is a compilation of articles written by the Fashion Technology students of National Institute of Fashion Technology and published in StitchWorld magazine. Each article first documents the level of technology from basic to advanced level used in apparel manufacturing and then calculates the return on investment of each of the technology. The articles have been reviewed by Dr. Prabir Jana, Professor at Department of Fashion Technology at National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi (India) for its factual information.
