Digital Sewing machine is a discovery of digital technology which is used in garments industry. These machines are programmable machines with digit / digits allow the user to create pieces of design to make their own clothes faster and better than the old style machines. Today’s modern technology and computerized sewing design the user can be producing artistic needlework in short time by this type of digital electronics
Digital Technology for Computerized Sewing Machine:
The automatic MCD unit of auto sewing machine, complete with sewing machine, is made for sewing the fronts of shirts. It distinguishes itself for easy to use and the quality of the final product. During stitching, the system aligns the fabric for perfect stitching. The fabric then passed under a heated puller to eliminate wrinkles in the front strip.
The machine is surrounded with automatic thread cutting and stacking, sewing and conveying speed are adjusted electronically of the system. The stitch length can vary from a minimum of 0.9 to a maximum of 35 mm, the sewn stitches are counted electronically using a PLC program.
By using computerized sewing software of computerized sewing machine enables the user to create patterns from a simple chain stitch.
Auto sewing machines of lockstitch can help the business person compete in today’s clothing market.
Garments that would have taken weeks to finish before the auto sewing machine can now be done in a matter of hours
Auto sewing machines offer the user many options to turn around on projects.
Computerized Sewing Machine have built in digitizer
It is also called Computerized Sewing Machine
SOP for Sewing Machine Maintenance:
Maintenance department is headed by maintenance manager. All the maintenance mechanics and other supporting staffs of maintenance department report to the maintenance manager.
Maintenance management system: Machines and spare parts inventory are maintained in this software system. Machinery and spare parts movement between the factories of Lenny are entered in this software and after the entry an auto generated delivery Chelan is created by the software for documentation purpose. In this system we are able to track machinery locations and the complete history of the each and individual machines. In this system we are able to analyze consumption of spare parts and inventory.
Machinery maintenance(Preventive maintenance)
Periodical sewing machine maintenance
Weekly sewing machine maintenance
Daily sewing machine maintenance (Product safety machine special checkup)
Periodical maintenance: Preventive maintenance is very important activities of the maintenance department. This preventive maintenance activity helps in avoiding the unexpected machine breakdowns and it increases the life of the machines. Preventive maintenance was been done as per the schedule made by the maintenance head. Schedule plan will cover whole Lenny in 40 to 45 days.
Weekly maintenance: One line of one factory machines will be checked by the respective line mechanic , in this way we will complete one factory in one week. This rive is called as the maintenance drive. In the maintenance drive , all the machines are been check completely and the problems found was been rectified immediately and faulty operators are been counseled and trained in maintenance drive.
Daily maintenance: (Product safety machine special checkup): In the daily maintenance the product safety machines like BTN attach , button hole , eyelet hole , snap attach are specially checked by the trained finishing mechanics.
Hang Tag Machine Needle, Hand Needle and Plastic Stapler Needle Control:
Needle control policy covers the needle being used in hang tag attach machine and plastic stapler machine.
There is only one central position to receive and issue needles to floor, that is maintenance store.
Transaction is maintained though software and needles are issued on replaced basis or when all parts are produced to central store.
All broken and replaced needles policy are secured in sharp tool control box maintained in central maintenance store.
After 06 months the needles are buried in Needle Grave yard.
Used Needle Control:
The physically used needle should match our account whatever we issue in the production floor.
All the use needle should be keep in our record & maintain the quantity
Needle Accessories Storage
From now on a new needle will be issued only when complete parts of a single needle will be submitted.
Operators are not getting new needle until complete parts are deposited.
Needle issuers at the store have been given strict warning to strictly follow needle control policy/ broken needle policy.
As we have seen number of findings regarding needle control issue, we have decided to arrange some refresher training session where all the store staffs will be trained to avoid needle control related problems in future.
Respective sewing line manager has been given warning regarding this issue.
Actually needle control register is not fake rather some unintentional mistakes of store a store keeper made it look like this. However from now on we will be more careful.
Now no garment is passed in final packing area without being metal checked and related register is being maintained strictly.
Cutting section has been reorganized and excessive fabric have been moved from dumping situation.
Idle cutting machines have been moved away and kept in a separate place.
From now on we will keep and lay fabric according to individual color in cutting section.
All sorts of carton/ table have been moved to keep path obstacle free.
Respective operator was given warning regarding keeping body after stitching.
We feel sorry for that. Respective line manager, line chief and supervisor were given strict warning that no future negligence will be tolerated regarding keeping body on the floor.
We have checked the whole floor and got rid of all kinds of unauthorized blade or metal movement.
Actually we never run production without exhibiting approved sample in the line however in all the Buyer lines we have made approved sample available which is hanged on the line.
Accessories storage area has been reorganized and store in-charge has been given proper instruction to avoid any kind of inconsistency between stock register and original balance.
Any kind of prohibited chemical has been absolutely banned from spot removing section and respective supervisor has been warned about this matter.
There is no back log in packing area now. Finished goods are now properly kept on the rack according to color, style and whatever needed.
Metal Detection Control:
Metal detection machine should be calibration two time morning & evening before start the production & keep the proper record
Metal detection procedure shall be applicable to kids and JAPAN shipments unless it is specifically mentioned by buyer.
Metal detection machine will be keep metal free zone area.
Detector must be use 1.2 mm card with the 9 points method.
All the garment should be checked detector machine before ship the garments, if found any garment not passed in our detector machine this garments should be kept & log as evidence in Red Box properly.
During calibration, if calibration is failed, since we have track of each carton identification, we are able to call back the goods passed through machine in last hour and all garments in those identified cartons needs to be checked 100%
Sewing Machine Maintenance – Needle Detector :
Detector should be calibrated every 1 year & this record should be keep.
Maintenance in charge cleaning record should be keep detector machine area.
Mechanical sewing machine is migrating into computerized sewing machine rapidly. A short description is given here about mechanical vs digital sewing machine. Singer use mechanical engineering for mechanical mahine and janome use computerized technology for manufacturing there product and vice versa. Garments owner purchase sewing machines to progress the efficiency of several sewing tasks. There aere two types of machines are available, mechanical and computerized, which operate differently and contain varying features. Both types can do the basic function of making uniform stitches in fabric using two sources of thread. The decision to purchase one of these machines is heavily based on the customers required functions, skill level, frequency of use.
Mechanical Sewing Machine:
Mechanical sewing machine e.g. singer sewing machine operate on electricity but contain mechanical gears and parts. All of the levers, switches, knobs, and dials require manual control from the user. For adding accessories and parts must be purchased and installed manually. The quality of sewing machine stitches are different also.
Computerized Sewing Machine:
Computerized sewing machine contain microprocessors which is digital technology to control the different program. The Stitches are stored on memory. The computer receive the user’s settings for simple setup and operation. The processes are automatically controlled by the machine after the user inputs the desired instruction. The user can download program from internet and can installed for better work. The latest sewing machine are called portable sewing machine. The latest sewing machine is treated as best sewing machine on the market.
Standard Operating Procedures of Sewing:
Sewing: It is the process of joining the cut parts by formation of Seams to produce a wearable garment having an acceptable level of Quality Standard described by the Buyer.
Importance of Sewing: Sewing is the Backbone of the apparel manufacturing industry, involving utilization of machines and physical manpower. If the sewing department is functioning properly and production methods are followed correctly, it provides an edge in the industry to survive.
Sewing Department: The following sections constitute the Sewing department:
CPU (Small parts are joined together which are sent to assembly)
Input Section (Front and Back Parts are prepared)
Output Section (Assembly operations comprise the output section)
Each sewing line consists of 1 Input Supervisor, 1 Output Supervisor (Line Manager), 2 Roving Q/C’s and one End Line Q/C to maintain production as well as quality of the output.
Case Study About mechanical sewing machine and Computerized Sewing Machine
Manufacturing System
The manufacturing systems can be divided into 2 types, basically
Push system – Anticipates future demands or needs and what we do today is determined by what we think will be needed at some time in the future. In push system, a schedule is prepared in advance for a series of workstations, each workstation pushes its completed work to next station. The orders are evaluated at supplying location. In this, the stock available at the supplier and the distribution to various retailers is taken into account. It is helpful for accomplishing scheduled production in a non-stop flow. It has redesigned, fixed assembly line, single purpose portable sewing machine with high output capacities. The inventory between stages is high.
Pull system – Replacing stock after consumption has occurred what we do today is to replace what was used yesterday.
Pull system is not a preferred system in the company as the labor is cheap and the country does not has a solid retail market, so most manufacturing is done for export purpose.
Disadvantages of Pull system in the sub-continent
In the sub-continent countries especially Bangladesh, where the retail market is more-or-less absent, the pull system carries the following disadvantages.
Limited ability to adapt to changes in product or product mix (ex. portable sewing machine are of limited capacity and the tooling necessary for products is not always feasible in a given FMS), and the style variation is very frequent so it loses grounds on that account.
Substantial pre-planning is required which is a lacking in the country.
The installation and implementation is expensive, and costs millions of dollars
Technological problems of exact component positioning and precise timing necessary to process a component
Sophisticated manufacturing systems
Advantages of Push systems
The push system helps to cope up with the frequent style changes, which is one of the feature of export based garment manufacturing.
The work can be done for small lot sizes, and in garments industry, there are many cases in which we get to see small orders for a style or small color wise order of the same style.
The push system also helps us to meet the short delivery deadlines, which is a major concern with export-based garments and it helps to fulfill this requirement in most of the cases.
Manufacturing System in Auto Group Ltd.
In Auto Group Ltd, there are 15 lines (5lines per floor), these are all assembly lines having around 40 workstations per line and all these operations are assembly related and these lines are assembly lines.
Apart from the assembly lines, there are preparatory-section which work on a modular basis, especially for cuff and collar preparation. The preparatory section consists of the first 4-6 workstations of every line and also, there is another section in the corner of every floor for the same purpose.
In all, we can say that the manufacturing system followed is a blend of two manufacturing systems, namely
Progressive Bundling Unit (PBU)
Assembly line
Progressive Bundling Unit (PBU)
In PBS production, sewing operations are broken down by management into a number of distinct Progressive bundling and separate operations depending on the complexity of the garment.
Management assigns an expected sewing time or “standard” (in minutes) for each operation such that the amount of effort required to sew a standard minute is equivalent across tasks.
Workers are paid based on individual piece rates according to the standard set for the operation they undertake. In addition to the piece rate standard, workers also receive an hourly wage, or variance pay, when work is interrupted.
The advantages of the PBU system can be listed as under:
Helps to cope up with frequent style changes
Helpful for small lot sizes also
Allows the garment manufacturer to meet short delivery deadlines
The disadvantages faced on following the PBU system are:
Greater amount of WIP
Single operator single skill
Individual piece rates and incentives
Shop floor supervision
Productivity effected by rate of absenteeism
Worker performs repetitive motions
Assembly Line
An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which interchangeable parts are added to a product in a sequential manner to create a product. It can also be called a process where discrete parts are put together to make a finished product. The assembly line operations are a high volume operation that produces products that are very similar in features and performance. Items are produced in a continuous manner, with usually only one possible routing.
It is a very productive production system, and at the same time, the layout is product oriented. Typically, it is a line of dissimilar portable sewing machine is grouped in the line (sometimes more than one to balance flow). Line balancing is a key in the assembly line system as the amount of output varies by varying the sequence of operations and the material flow. Though the assembly line carries a disadvantage of being very inflexible, as the Computerized Sewing Machine layout cannot be altered very often, yet it is most commonly used in the garments industry.
As a part of internship work, I was supposed to cover 2different styles of shirts in the sewing floor from entering the floor to the dispatch to the finishing section. The study in the style included the time study, the method study (process charts and LH/RH charts for each operations). Based on the time study data, the calculations were done to find out the line efficiency, throughput time and the inventory level.
The sewing department covered the most part of the study and it required many calculations to come up with the right data and figures to support and suggest the appropriate changes to the company. The method study also helped to make suggestions on reducing the idle time and the delays from processes.
For the purpose of study, I covered the 2different styles of shirts
Men’s Long Sleeve Hidden B/D Collar Shirt (HAGGAR-PROMINENT APPAREL LTD.)
Men’s Long Sleeve Point Collar Shirt (CAPITAL MERCURY, CARHARTT)
Men’s L/S Hidden B/D Collar Shirt
The style was introduced in many stages as it had a very big order size but the color variation was also frequent. Since the fabric is check/stripe, therefore, the problem of shade variation is not very common. Considering this fact, the order was introduced in the line with a very big bundle size of 279 pieces per bundle. This size was actually determined by the number of lays spread in the spreading/cutting department.
In all, one line engages nearly 85 people and only about 32 of them are operators, the rest all are engaged in either the quality inspection, thread trimming or simply as a helper.
Line Efficiency
Line efficiency= Actual pieces/day x100
Ideal pieces/day
Actual pieces/hour= minimum number of pieces in the line
Ideal pieces per day= No. of operators X Available minutes in a day
SMV of the garment
Now, for this particular style, the minimum number of pieces in the line is 78 pieces
Therefore, actual number of pieces in a day (9hours)= 78X9= 702 pieces
Operators required= 46
Therefore, the operator time taken in a day = 46X5400min= 24840min
Hence, the ideal pieces/day= 24840 = 1489 pieces
16.68
Line efficiency= 702 X100 = 47.15%
1489
From this calculation, it is very clear that the line efficiency is very less and has to be immediately taken into account.
SOP for Sewing: First of all PP Meeting is conducted. This meeting conducted in presence of GM, PM, QM, TM, Line Manager, Maintenance Manager, IE and respective Merchandiser.
After PP Meeting, Red Tag Sample and Trim Chart is provided by the merchandiser along with the Tech Pack and the Technical sheet. The I.E. Department provides the Style bulletin containing the details of Machinery and Manpower allocation.

Once, all the quality / measurement issues are resolved, approval for bulk cutting is provided and accordingly Bulk Sewing commences.
The Roving Q/C checks randomly 7 pcs from random work stations. In case of any Quality issues, it is immediately highlighted to the Line manager as well as the Technical manager. These issues are sorted immediately.
The End Line Q/C checks 100 % garments for Quality and 2Pcs every Hour for Measurement. Any issues are immediately highlighted to the PM, QM and TM for sorting out the issue.
All the Q/C Pass pcs are sent for wash. Washing is done Style/ Color/ Lot/ Recipe wise. 100 % pcs are checked for Hand feel, Washing Standard and Measurement. If any issues are encountered, rewash is done to achieve the acceptable quality standard.
After washing, garments are issued to finishing (Size/ Lot wise).
Reports in Sewing Section: Ten reports are being made in the Sewing Section:
Auto fabric laser cutting machine is used for cutting fabric in garments industry and textile industry. Auto fabric laser cutting machine have laser tube, motor stepper and other parts to work together. Fabric laser cutting machine is used in cutting department is an essential part of any garment-manufacturing unit, because the fabric is one raw material, which constitutes to more than 50% of the total cost of the garment and it has to be cut into patterns and a lot is on stake, if any problem arises in this section then it can affect the order drastically. The first stage in the manufacture of the garments is the cutting of the materials into the necessary patterns shapes. These are then joined together by means of seams to create three-dimensional garments. Where large quantities of a garment style must be cut, a lay is created which consist of many plies of fabric spread one above the other. From this, all the garment pieces for all the sizes that have been planned for that lay are cut by fabric laser cutting machine. The pattern shapes for these garments are drawn as to their shape and position, which maybe held within a computer, to be plotted similarly on the paper marker.
Feature of Fabric Laser Cutter :
Auto controlling system, rich functions, can effect engraving on plane, gradient engraving using fabric laser cutter ,

Cutting Process of a Company:
In Autogarment., the cutting department is situated on the 5th floor of the building. The area of the floor is divided into work floor for the Autogarment and the Autogarment sections. Both the sections work for 100% export. The operators of the Autogarment sections wear cream-colored shirts and the operators in the Autogarment section wear blue colored shirts. This uniform helps for distinguishing the operators of the two sections.
The department submits a report of projected dates for finishing a particular work assigned to it and is issued the fabric from the store, accordingly. Based on this projection, the fabric is brought in 5-10 days in advance from the store, so that the cutting department gets enough time to finish the work.
Conclusion:
The cutting department gets the marker from the CAD department band the fabric from the store. The cutting department then lays the fabric, according to the cut with laser cut fabric machine laid down by the CAD and marker section. The laser cut fabric is then cut into blocks (block cutting), which is then re-laid and cut precisely. The second cutting is essential in order to ensure a 100% check match. The plain laser cut fabric is also cut into block first, then into the final pieces, but the hassle of matching is not essential in such kind of a fabric.
