Industry 4.0 Revolution in Clothing and Apparel Sector: Smart Apparel Factory Proposal

Abstract

Together with the latest technological innovations, the vision of the smart factory has been enabled in the light of the last industrial revolution called Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 has an important potential to change all production processes and business models in the fashion and apparel sector, which is a labor-intensive sector called the locomotive sector of our country. Therefore, in order to survive in a challenging global competitive environment, the transition of the fashion and apparel industry from ordinary production facilities to smart factories is required to invest in Industry 4.0 technologies. However, it has been determined that the studies in the literature on how these relatively new technologies can affect the apparel industry are limited and not adequately covered. In this study, which was prepared in order to address this gap, firstly the current system analysis was carried in the production system of an ordinary garment factory. Then, a smart apparel factory was proposed as a new production system in line with the vision of Industry 4.0. After introducing the technological components of the proposed Smart Apparel Factory, innovative approaches developed based on these technological components are presented in a holistic way. Then, the benefits and challenges of the proposed Smart Apparel Factory were analyzed and the proposed progressive implementation plan for transition from the current situation to the smart apparel factory was given.

Hazır Giyim ve Konfeksiyon Sektöründe Endüstri 4.0 Devrimi: Akıllı Konfeksiyon Fabrikası Önerisi

Abstract

Son teknolojik yeniliklerle birlikte, Endüstri 4.0 olarak adlandırılan endüstriyel devrim ışığında akıllı fabrika vizyonunun gerçekleştirilmesine imkan sağlanmıştır. Endüstri 4.0, ülkemizin lokomotif sektörü olarak adlandırılan ve emek yoğun bir sektör olan hazır giyim ve konfeksiyon sektöründeki tüm üretim süreçlerini ve iş modellerini değiştirmek için önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bu nedenle, çetin küresel rekabet ortamında ayakta kalabilmeleri için hazır giyim ve konfeksiyon endüstrisinin sıradan üretim tesislerinden akıllı fabrikalara geçişleri başlatılarak, Endüstri 4.0 teknolojilerine yatırım yapmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Ancak, nispeten yeni olan bu teknolojilerin hazır giyim ve konfeksiyon endüstrisini nasıl etkileyebileceğine dair literatürdeki çalışmaların sınırlı sayıda ve yeterli kapsamda olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu eksikliği gidermek amacı ile hazırlanan bu çalışmada, öncelikle mevcut sistem analizi yapılarak, konfeksiyon fabrikalarında şu anda yürütülen sistem incelenmiş olup, ardından Endüstri 4.0 ve akıllı fabrika vizyonu doğrultusunda yeni bir üretim sistemi olarak akıllı konfeksiyon fabrikası önerilmiştir. Önerilen Akıllı Konfeksiyon Fabrikası’nın teknolojik bileşenlerine yer verildikten sonra, bu teknolojik altyapıyı temel alarak geliştirilen yenilikçi yaklaşımlar bütüncül bir şekilde sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, önerilen Akıllı Konfeksiyon Fabrikasının fayda ve zorlukları analiz edilmiş olup, mevcut durumdan akıllı konfeksiyon fabrikasına geçiş için önerilen aşamalı uygulama planına yer verilmiştir.
