Model-based and adaptive tracking and tracing

assistance system for order management in ready-made textile production

The textile industry is characterised by continuous and efficient processes with high throughput rates. However, the trend, is moving towards customised products in small batch sizes with increasingly shorter life cycles and a shift in the product portfolio towards technical textiles. In order to contribute to the development and production of such future products, one must not only possess production expertise but also a reliable, stable, and transparent production chain. Small and medium-sized clothing manufacturers also face similar tracking and tracing requirements.

The aim of the project was the development of an adaptive tracking and tracing assistance system based on technologies from the fields of Industrial Internet-of-Things, mobile computing, wireless communication and graphical low-code programming.
