Shah Alam Nur :
The leading readymade garment (RMG) manufacturers are opting for automated production systems renouncing the traditional methods in order to be more competitive in global apparel market, sources said.
They said, acceptance of new technology in the apparel industry is paying more dividends to owners, as it helps improve management, quality and delivery systems.
The industry operators have also brought about changes in cutting, knitting, dyeing, finishing and packaging through the application of these new technologies.
RMG workers previously used to cut fabric manually, or the cutting machine’s speed was time-consuming. But now it is possible to cut fabric many times faster with the auto-cutter machine.
Similarly, in the case of quality control, the automated machinery in a very short while can check whether any needle or any other metal tool is mistakenly embedded in the packaged clothes.
The new technology helps finish dyeing of several hundred yards of fabric in a few hours, says a dyeing factory owner. Giant Group, the leading RMG exporter, has implemented the expensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution from SAP Germany, said Managing Director of Group Faruque Hassan.
He said, large number of multinationals and other local business houses now adopt the ERP solution, but in the garments sector Giant Group is using it.
He said, “Giant Group is one of the leading factories in he world, which is using ERP instead of SAP. The group implemented the ERP in its Gazipur based factory in last one year at a cost of $3 million.”
He said “I save time and check wastage in almost all the sections of my factory. I can know the on-time production by one click alone.”
Managing Director of Rising Fashions Ltd, Mahmud Hasan Khan Babu, said that he had planned to install the SAP software to bring efficiency at all levels.
He said currently almost all modern factories are setting aside their traditional methods and adopting automated systems.
Babu also Vice President of BGMEA said “Efficiency in cutting, knitting, dyeing and finishing has been attained because of the application of these technologies.”
Managing Director of Creative Woolwear Ltd, Ferdous Perves Bivon said they hired a specialist for his group to develop ERP aiming to ensure better management and production systems.
He said Bangladeshi manufacturers mainly use sophisticated European and Japanese technologies in their production units.
He said since manufacturers are now shifting to lean systems, they prefer these technologies to enhance efficiency.
