Abstract

Textile and Ready-Made Garments (RMG) have for a long time been the foundation stone of world manufacturing especially in the developing economies. With the advent of Industry 4.0 which has brought the smart manufacturing age, a new era of smart manufacturing with the integration of Artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) has been introduced. This article explains the way these technologies transform the production of textiles and RMG by improving automation and quality control and improving the efficacy of production. Based on case studies of industries and technological advances, the research gives a broad picture of the digital revolution that is taking the industry by storm and suggests strategic recommendations for implementation.
