This White Paper highlights a set of implications of the assumed shift from centralized mass production to a distributed textile Microfactory model across Europe. The paper covers current trends in regionally distributed production, sustainability, individualization, digitalization and automation technologies.
The main objective of the white paper is to show the future of manufacturing within the textile and apparel industry in terms of business models, customer relationships, (organizational) structures and used technologies.
This is highlighted by four use cases of the companies Assyst, ErgoSoft, Mitwill and Zünd, showing innovative technology opportunities, which are inalienable for the textile future.
