Factories of the Future

22nd April 2021

For an industry as antiquated as fashion, no one could have predicted nor prepared for the rate at which digital technologies are now being translated for the needs of mass garment and footwear production.

This Spotlight covers the technicalities and realities of how tools including 3D, IoT, automation & robotics, RFID, xR, 3D printing and more, can and will seamlessly weave together to create the Factory of the Future.
