Top 10 most amazing textile Revolution in future

Textile industry is one of the industries which doesn’t look like it fluctuates much. Right? Well, think again! In this age of technological advancement it is logical to assume that every industry is bound to keep a futuristic outlook. Futuristic textiles are a thing now; be it the outgoing and bold dresses generally associated with the Western world, or the reserved and modest dresses linked to the conservative and Muslim world. Every corner of the world is certain to be shook by the advancements in the textile industry.

Below are listed the ten of the most amazing textiles of the future:

1. Apparels which will be able to self-clean!

Yes, you read that right! Dr. Rajesh from an Australian university namely Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology led the research which made significant discoveries’ about the structure of different elements of cotton, which can clean themselves. Although, it is still work in progress, the scientists are hopeful for it to become a realty soon.

Self-cleaning clothes might be a thing in the near future. People who do their laundry know the hassle they have to go through. Gathering the clothes, putting them in the machine, and getting them through a dryer; all with the super wet surf and lather. This hassle is all but about to end in the future.

2. Vibrating sportswear

There are many instances of sports where precision and accuracy is required to get going. Take for example the throwing of a cricket ball at a specific angle set by the cricketing lawmakers. The angle is fifteen degrees of elbow joint which can be straightened while bowling. To make young cricket bowlers make sure they practice this legal angle; Cricflex is a startup producing arm wear which vibrates if your bowling action falls short of the legal fifteen degrees.

Likewise, fitness clothing which include gymnastics, aerobics, and other such sports which require precise angles are jumping on vibrating sportswear bandwagon.

3. Clothes with recycled ocean plastic

Plastic waste is a big concern for ocean life. Plastic waste is being used to create sportswear and in the near future shall be recycled to make routine apparels which can be worn like normal clothes.  Adidas made football jerseys for a few football clubs like Man United which were made of ocean plastic which turn into textile goods.

4. Colour shifting clothes

Ever wondered what would it be like to attend different themed parties wearing the same shirt? Not a good idea, right? Well in the near future you can do so as the colors of the shirt will shift as per your requirement. Attend as many parties as you like wearing the same shirt but adorning different colours!

5. LED Lights enable cloths

Models, TV stars, and all those red carpet musicians tend to wear eye-catching sharp outfits. In the futuristic outlook of such red carpet events, the musicians, rappers, and models might be seen wearing these LED enabled clothes which give off unique effects due to the built-in LED system. It shall be a customizable LED system with designs and colors of our choosing.

6. Built-in Medical data censors and health monitoring system

Health is wealth! Scientists are working on a line of clothing which collects your medical-grade information, converts it into data and shall be sued to diagnose the wearer of any disease beforehand. Apart from the basic diseases, this might be helpful in diagnosing major diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, and other such ailments.

7. Go smart with your smart clothes like smartphone.

No need to worry about taking out your smartphone from your pocket every now and then. Whether it’s the cold, or you are riding a bike or cycle, no need to put in the extra effort to attend to a call or reply to a text! These are the futuristic clothing add-ons that shall be offered by the apparel companies in collaboration with the smartphone companies. One example is the Commuter Trucker Jacket which is made by the famous company Levi’s.

8. Revolution of apparel by banana fiber

Revolution of textile by banana fiber- waste material

The banana fiber is epitome of strength and durability. The stem of the banana tree is sued to make this fiber and is extremely durable as well as environment friendly. The cost associated with these fibers is therefore very less, which in turn produces cost effective clothing. Therefore, the needy people can benefit from this type of fiber clothing in textile industry.

9. Massager garb

Visiting a massager after a tiring day of work or sport might not be the last thing on your mind. To counter this a full-fledged garb is there to massage you while you lay down for a quick rest. The combination of censors and corresponding vibrations make massage movements on key areas of the body, and the result is a complete home massage.

10. Fruits fiber & Nooo ! animal

Leather products are expensive and brutal as they are procured after some animal is killed for the hides. An increasing number of customers want to play no role in this brutal killing spree of animals. Organizations like PETA which work for animal protection have raised their voices too. Therefore, the fruit waste like apple left from juice production is being used as a fiber for clothes.

What's RFID, How it works & Application

We all have the experience to visit shopping mall and supermarket to purchase various types of goods. This is the most popular way to buy essential products like cloths, household and groceries etc. Why not ? Because it’s bring us the all necessary items at. Ace where we can choose from. But In this vast of facilities we feel so bored while the cashier scan the barcode or QR code one by one to calculate the grand total. As per marketing theory the babies are looking for chocolate and snacks in this scanning time and add extra expenses on third cash memo. This the time most of the customer doesn’t want to spend for nothing.

How it would be if all the goods are calculated at a time without spending any more time? Yeah!! that’s possible with RFID (Radio frequency identification) technology.

What’s RFID & how it works?

What's RFID, How it works & Application
What’s RFID, How it works & Application

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology where the smart label or RFID tags store the digital data enclosed it and can be read via  radio wave. It’s detect the goods from any dimensions without place the code like barcode or QR code.

RFID belongs to a group of technologies referred to as Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC). AIDC methods automatically identify objects, collect data about them, and enter the data directly into computer systems with little or no human intervention. RFID methods utilize radio waves to accomplish this.
At a simple level, RFID systems consist of three components: an RFID tag or smart label, an RFID reader, and an antenna.
RFID tags contain an integrated circuit and an antenna, which are used to transmit data to the RFID reader (also called an interrogator).

The reader then converts the radio waves to a more usable form of data. Information collected from the tags is then transferred through a communications interface to a host computer system where the data can be stored in a database and analyzed later.

Before diving deep into the working of RFID, let’s explore the different components that it comprises.

The major part that RFID consists of are:


1. RFID tag
2. RFID reader

Describe about RFID Tag
An RFID tag consists of an embedded transmitter and a receiver. RFID component comprises two parts:

1. Integrated circuit: It’s used for storing and processing the information.
2. Antenna: It’s used to transmit and receive signals.

RFID tags also have non-volatile memory storage, which includes either programmable or fixed logic for sensor data and transmission.

Tags can be categorised by

Tags can becategorized as:
1. Passive: This tag remains dormant since it has no battery. It uses the reader’s signal energy to turn on the tag along with reflecting a signal back to the reader that carries the information.


2. Active: Active RFID tags have a battery in it that transmits signals periodically. These tags have a range of up to 100 meters due to the presence of a battery. Due to this, active tags are useful in location tracking applications.


3. Battery-assisted passive: These tags do contain a battery, but it doesn’t transmit signals periodically like that of active RFID tags.

The battery is used to turn the tag when it receives a signal, which enables all the energy from the reader’s signal to reflect

Application of RFID

This is very advanced technology that can be used in various industries to track down easily any goods or item. Here are a discussed about a few industry for and it’s advantage.

Agriculture

  • Livestock tracking
  • Exact food for exact animal
  • Routine health check-up
  • Measuring annual growth

Garment industry

  • Production management
  • Shipment chain
  • Warehouse store
  • Retail business
  • Guarantee and warranty validation

Library system

  • Amount of books contain in the liberty
  • Track the lost book in the library building
  • Book rent ledger

Jewelry track

  • Amount of jewelry and it’s marker value.
  • Find specific design on shelf
  • Their protection
  • Easy to find customers price range at a time.

Supply chain management

  • Find out the manufacturer and it’s receiver destination
  • The desired good is correct or wrong?
  • The goods correct warehouse before shipment.
  • The correct ship for shipment.

Conclusion

RFID is a technology which can be used to handle huge number of content at a time whatever it’s is a large storage with minimum man power. In that case the store manager should have adept with this technology as well.  Please write down in comments below what you think about this technology?

The Future Of Healthcare May Reside In Your Smart Clothes

Fashion, Garments, News
The future of healthcare may reside in your smart clothes

When most individuals thinks about wearable, they frequently think of the compulsory smartwatches, fitness monitors, and heart rate monitors that are classically worn on the wrist. On the other hand, the wearable market spreads well further than just these typical devices and into numerous developing markets across some diverse businesses.

One such developing market is smart clothing for healthcare–the idea of interlacing electronics into a shirt, a blanket, a bandage, a knitted cap, or pants to accomplish particular patient care tasks such as evaluating and recording the causes and reasons of breath shortness, heartbeat regulation, and monitoring etc.

Smart clothing, or e-textiles, as in one piece, is still in its early stages, and applied applications that are being utilized in hospitals and other care amenities are rare and far between.

Smart clothing is perceived as a method to transform the run through of healthcare, and it is expected that extensive use of clothes used to monitor health or assist with treatment could decrease dependence on expensive gear and a profoundly weighed down healthcare system. Clothing that can keep an eye on chronic disease or conditions, assist with a rising aging populace, or make patients more contented during a stay at a hospital or treatment facility is grasped as a method to produce value, increase health insights, and lessen prices.

E-textiles are premeditated to feel content on the skin but at the same time be practical. These smart materials comprise of traditional cloth interlaced with conductive fibres as well as electronic essentials such as biomedical sensors, microcontrollers, fibre optics and wearable antennas, such as Mouser’s line of the Internet of Things system-on-modules.

An instance of a biomedical sensor that could be used in e-textile applications is the Analog Devices’ AD8232/33 Heart Rate Monitor Front End. It is an assimilated signal conditioning block for ECG and other bio potential measurement applications, premeditated to excerpt, intensify, and screen minor bio potential indicators in the attendance of loud environments. The Intel® Edison expansion stage is premeditated to reduce the blockades to an entrance for a variety of originators, businesspersons, and customer merchandise creators to quickly archetype and create “Internet of Things” (IoT) and wearable computing produces. It is both a system-on-module answer and an article that integrates a wearable antenna.

In some instances, e-textiles are fashioned, in part, on a characteristic table top sewing appliance that sews yarn into cloth in an arrangement via a computer program. As an alternative to the thread, however, metallic fibres from metals such as silver, nickel, carbon, copper, aluminium, and stainless steel, such as Adafruit’s wearable electronic podiums from Mouser, are used that feel the same as the typical thread to the touch. These products permit you to understand any wearable project. They are completely featured curved, sew-able, and Arduino-compatible devices. They are small enough to fit into any scheme and less costly enough to use without reluctance.

Dependent on how the conductive fibres are intertwined in and the electronics contained within in the smart clothing, the material is hard-wearing and able to be washed alike to a regular outfit. While strength is still a continuing subject in a lot of plans, it is a contemplation that most scientists and businesses are working on as a significant stride in the direction of mass commercialization of smart clothing for healthcare.

The Future of Smart Clothing

While a lot of these educational activities are moving onward and are working in the direction of commercialization, modernizations in high-tech materials and the developments in microelectronics are opening even more prospects for healthcare-related e-textiles.

Some of these designs and early trial schemes consist of t-shirts that get rid of chronic back pain, shirts with stretch sensors for observing respiratory rates with patients with chronic lung disease, lax all-day belly bands that evaluate uterine contractions and foetal heart rate in pregnant females, pressure monitor stocking for use by diabetic patients or even a shirt that conveys shockwaves to patients going through severe heart problems.

Some specialists see smart clothing totally substituting bedside monitoring in hospitals with shirts that track heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen intact and more.

In recent times, the indication of assimilating sign recognition in smart clothing has brought in attention with the Google-Levi Project Jacquard commuter jacket for bicycle riders. While a lot of specialists have faith in gesture recognition could find its way into attire for healthcare-maybe for use by paraplegics or elderly those have had strokes or heart attacks or elderly in the home that fall – at this time there are far less costly and recognized machinery that will be difficult to outshine in the subsequent five years.

Haptic feedback, or the use of touch in an operator interface design, embraces much potential in e-textiles for the reason that it can be with no trouble reduced and does not necessitate moving mechanical parts. Haptic feedback would be used in Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS) that could sort from a minor sting to robust force feedback to trigger a patient’s muscles. Smart clothing with haptic feedback technology could be used at all times for the duration of the day and worn on any part of the body to encourage muscle movements or rehab. Developments comprising of haptic feedback, such as those from Novasentis, are at present in development for use in clothes for healthcare with samples anticipated to arrive far along this year.

How do they gets order from buyers?

Business, CAD, Garments, Merchandising

Garments factory produced garments and shipment to various country by on land transportation, Sea or by air and makes profit. They use LC transaction system most of the time get the money.  When the manufacturer failed to complete the full PO quantity order on time than they send the goods to buyer by air which is much expensive than sea shipment.

Have you ever been curious to know? How exactly they execute all of those process? No…………o! If yes; than you might be get some information but not completely satisfied you. Isn’t it? Today I’ll try to make you a little clearer about this matter. Let’s ask a few question and try to find out the answer.

How do they gets order from buyers?

Get an order to produce garments is not an easy task. Merchandiser of a factory is responsible to take order from buyer and execute the full production to shipment. The merchandiser received some product related documents like Tech Pack, Spec, and Measurement Chart from buyer’s representative. Merchandiser send those documents to Product Development (PD) Department it’s also known as Sample Section. The pattern maker makes pattern and send it to the sample making responsible to make mock up for that particular garment. Also send the pattern to CAD department to calculate the actual consumption of fabric and materials.

What is Mock Up?

Mock up is a demo structure of that garments, makes the initiating time of product development stage. PD makes to find out the difficulties it’s can be occurred during sample making and production process. Mock up helps the CAD & IE related people to find out the actual consumption materials and SMV. This sample makes from available fabric and trims which already they have in factory.

Procedure of to go for Negotiations:
Base on this value they makes approximate price for garments, which they get from CAD & and IE. The merchandiser place a price to the customer to negotiate with them. Most of the time buyer ask to reduce the price if the garments is new style. When the buyer thinks the price is reasonable they ask them to proceed for buying sample. The sample section is responsible to make desire garments however customer needs.  Representative of buyer change the garments style, shape, materials so many time in this development stage to make a proper shape and affordable price. If they like than they ask for Counter Sample (CS) to make contract seal with that factory.

What is contract Seal?

Contract seal means, the factory get the order from buyer and can be start production process as soon as they want to complete the production within shipment dead line. Factory works so hard to complete the production and prepared the shipment goods in the barrier of their

last FOB date.

How they negotiate the price of goods?

Merchandiser is the person who is responsible to do that negotiation with customer. Merchandiser go for negotiation after get the consumption summary from CAD department, SMV & threads consumption from IE Department. This process takes a little long time finalize the actual garments and is price. Its takes 60 days to 120 days depend on buyer requirement and goods price from development to shipment.

Meaning of abbreviations are used in this article

CAD      = Computer Aided Design.

SMV       = Standard Minute Value.

CS           = Counter Sample.

PD          = Product Development.

IE            = Industrial Engineering.

LC           = Letter of credit

PO          = Product Order

FOB        = Free On Board
