The use of innovative sewing machines to produce two prototypes of women’s skirts
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Two prototypes of a women’s skirt intended for use in the autumn season were designed and manufactured using innovative sewing machines, along with their programming. This article describes the innovative sewing machines used to sew two prototypes of a women’s skirt – specialist machines, semi-automatic, and automatic sewing machines. The main assumption during the sewing process of the designed skirt prototypes was to program the selected sewing machines necessary for their implementation. This article refers to Industry 4.0 through the automation of the production process, which has contributed to increased productivity. In addition, the impact of using modern sewing machines on the lead times of two models of women’s skirts is presented. This article describes the individual stages of programming the innovative machines used, such as an automatic machine for sewing small elements, a two-needle lockstitch with switchable needles, a clothing buttonhole machine, or a button sewing machine.
