The economic sustainability and competitiveness of a product passes through the involvement of different but interactive players in the supply chain (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers) in an efficient, tracked and collaborative way. These are the revolutions that are involving the world of Italian fashion, which is also being called upon to reap the benefits of digitization.
In fact, 'Industry 4.0' also involves companies in the fashion industry, which are engaged in managing an increasing number of variables related to the commodity composition and structure of materials being processed, processing conditions that are difficult to standardize, fragmentation and delocalization of production processes, and management of countless critical issues.
Small and large fashion companies are beginning to network in order to create systems in which to integrate enabling technologies: and it is precisely this new dimension, made up of small laboratories, large principals and countless suppliers, that is proving most successful in the digitization process of the sector. A phenomenon that has been documented and studied even by research, such as that of the 'RISE Laboratory,' which is committed to gathering evidence from all the companies that make up a logistics-production supply chain of companies, to move beyond the physical boundaries of the department and include processes that are not strictly manufacturing.
This dimension of 'innovative supply chain' is successfully tested in Puglia by the 'Collaborare' project, launched by Ametlab and technologically supported by BPM's Jamio openwork platform. Objective: to reorganize processes to improve the management of orders, to structure the organization of the network of laboratories adhering to the project, to regulate warehouse logistics, to channel all the actors involved on a single web platform and to better manage their participation.
