Description du projet
Des vêtements écologiques et efficaces
La mode est aujourd’hui la deuxième industrie la plus polluante du monde. Il est urgent d’inverser cette tendance et de réduire les énormes excédents de stock que ce secteur génère. Toutefois, l’évolution rapide des tendances exige que la fabrication des nouveaux modèles puisse suivre la demande. Le projet Rodinia, financé par l’UE, va apporter son aide au développement du logiciel Clothing Manufacturing Efficiency (CME) qui devrait permettre de produire plus vite tout en réduisant les impacts écologiques. Il rend possible la personnalisation de masse en flux tendu sur la base des besoins spécifiques réels, sans seuil minimal de production. Il éliminera ainsi la nécessité des stocks et réduira les coûts des investissements. Grâce à Rodinia, les PME de l’industrie de la mode pourront agir efficacement.
Objectif
"The clothing industry, plays an important role in the EU manufacturing industry, employing 1.7 mn people and generating an annual turnover of €166 bn. However, it is the second largest polluting industry in the world, mostly due to its current clothing production model, which leads to overstock, huge upfront costs, long lead-times, only being economically viable for large brands, who represent less than 10% of the industry. In fact, with this model, 30% of garments produced are never sold and end up in landfills or burned by clothing brands (polluting even further).
This traditional slow production model was partially viable in a world where fashion trends were ruled by brands, and customisation was not an option. This has changed today however, with fashion trends changing faster than ever, and being now ruled by influencers and social media. Besides, demand for unique designs and short lead times renders the traditional model obsolete, making it even harder for SMEs to stay afloat.
Rodinia Generation Aps is leveraging state of the art technologies as digital printing and automated textile cutting, to develop rodinia, a game-changing digital printing apparel production process (patent-pending) linked to a pioneering stringing-technology (patent-pending). Our production-process is 90% automated, applicable to any digital printing production line that includes a digital printer, a heater and a cutter, and managed by our proprietary cloud-based ""Clothing Manufacturing Efficiency"" software. It cuts production time by 98% and costs by 80%
rodinia is the first solution that allows SME clothing brands to set up own micro factories and produce themselves their own clothes. Most importantly, apparel manufacturers and SME clothing brands will be able to adopt an on-demand just-in time mass customization production model, i.e. produce the exact number of different designs required at high speed and affordable cost, avoiding overstock, upfront costs and long lead-times."
