The WHOLEGARMENT flat knitting machine significantly contributes to the rationalization of production by eliminating the sewing stage, which requires the longest amount of time in the production process. Moreover, the virtual simulations of the design system have dramatically reduced the amount of time required to create samples, which used to be a bottleneck in the product planning process, achieving significant cost reduction. The WHOLEGARMENT machine combined with a design system has facilitated the transformation of the textile industry from a labor-intensive industry into a sensitivity and information-based industry that can manufacture products and create added value at consumption sites. In short, it achieves manufacturing that fully leverages resources and time. Moreover, the company also offers yarnbank, a website of yarn data opened with spinning companies. Through these efforts, the company will continue to support manufacturing in the fashion industry at every stage and thereby contribute to the vitalization of the industry.
