The rise of Industry 4.0 that has reshaped many manufacturing processes, allowing for more efficient production, and making what was once impossible possible will also be one of the key focus at ITMA 2023. In line with the textile industry’s top priorities, ITMA 2023 will cast spotlight on the following 4 pillars:
Pivoting Towards Digital Transformation & Circularity
.Advanced Materials: Innovation and sustainability have become critical drivers and enable the creation of new technical textiles with advanced materials and functionalities which are used in various applications. These applications are not only in fashion, but also sports, outdoor, building and construction, defense and medical.
.Automation and Digital Future: Ground-breaking developments in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the progressive adoption of automation in textile manufacturing processes while digitalization of manufacturing processes and its impact on the supply chain is shaping the future of the entire integrated textile and garment value chain.
.Innovative Technologies: Exciting breakthroughs in production processes such as fibre and yarn processing continue to help propel the textile industry forward.
.Sustainability and Circularity: Manufacturers and brands are adopting the use of innovative materials and integrating advanced processes to achieve a competitive edge and build a greener planet.
