Since there is a rapid growth in the technological developments, many traditional textile and fashion enterprises have inevitably been affected under the wave of digital economic. In the age of Industry 4.0 where more customers look for personalized products, the enterprises must keep pace with digital manufacturing to outperform the competitive global market.

Riding the New Wave of AI Manufacturing

According to a market observation by GlobalTextile.com (2019), "Innovative Technology", "Intelligent Manufacturing", "Transboundary Cooperation" and "Green Development" are identified as four major trends that will shape the future of textile industry. Some international brands like Burberry, Nike and Adidas drive to enhance productivity and reduce labor intensity by implementing AI and green technology in their businesses, and successfully combine technology with fashion, lifestyle and environmental protection.

In response to the rising expectations of textile products, The 19th International Exhibition on Textile Industry (ShanghaiTex 2019) will be grandly held on 25-28 November 2019 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. It is expected to gather more than 1,200 exhibitors to showcase a range of top-notch textile machines, cross-border technologies and applications, helping the enterprises to expand their businesses and drive towards “AI in Manufacturing”. In order to optimize the textile and fashion supply chain, four thematic zones will be featured in ShanghaiTex this year, they are "Textech Galaxy”, "Go Digital”, "Material & Cross-Boarder Innovation” and "Go Green”, highlights include a series of innovative technology covering Industry 4.0 and AI manufacturing in “Textech Galaxy” and “Go Digital”. The fair is committed to helping designers and manufacturers to break away from the traditional production, with the aim of meeting future demand and tap into new markets!

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.
