Sewn Products Industry

Problem:  To effectively compete in the world market, US clothing manufacturers must find ways to reduce production costs.  Improving production in the cutting and sewing room operations is key.  Full and continuous use of cutting tables is needed to maximize material output.  Flexibility in sewing machine placement is required to accommodate styling changeovers efficiently and without production shutdowns.

Solution:  The Feedrail¨ System has proven both dependable and extremely flexible here.  Cloth spreading machines can operate the full length and width of tables, with a continuous movable source of power.  Cutting machines move freely without disturbing the material lay or cut.  The result is higher production and more accurate cuts.  With no need to stop equipment to locate outlets, there's no risk of accidental disconnects. 

Cutting machines can now be placed where and when they're needed, translating into a big improvement in efficiency.  In the sewing room, equipment can be regrouped immediately to take full advantage of floor space.  An additional benefit is convenience for employees:  There are no long cords to drag on floors and tables, to impede operation, or to soil goods in process.  The sewing room is safer, more organized, and more productive.
