inventory will be the new norm. Virtual inventory will minimize waste - no
overproduction that ends up at a land field - creating a tool for you to better
control your supply chain and merchandiser and speed to the market and
efficiency.

that can lower inventories and increase speed to market in your business.

#2) LIVE DEMO
SOURCING at MAGIC
will let you experience the technology that will move your business into the
future and experience a live demo
of “Advanced Manufacturing” machinery and equipment set up on our show floor. There will be 15,000-20,000 dedicated square
ft of floor space. SOURCING at MAGIC
will showcase the machinery, and software to run and efficient micro-factory. Presenting Exhibitors: Tukatech * Mutoh * Royal
Exclusive Cutting & Sewing Machines.
Within our Demo, Micro-Factory Steps Include:
1. Body scanner (Tukatech) - Scan your fit model using the
Styku Body Scanner. Hundreds of measurements can be extracted from a body scan
which can then be used to create a 3D avatar that is an exact replica of your
fit model.
2. Cad System creating the style to a 3D format (Tukatech) - TUKA3D's
accurate virtual fit sessions with animation allow the user to bypass physical
sample making, dramatically reducing the time and cost associated with product
development.
3. Software to manage files that will take the images in the Cad system and
convert them to patterns and markers and is sent to the printer. (Tukatech) - Tukatech's
3D apparel design software eliminates the need for trial and error in physical
sample creation, ensuring that any design fits right the first time.
4. Direct to Fabric Digital Printer (Mutoh) - this
solution eliminates the need to have conventional equipment for manufacturing
purposes. This sustainable, clean printing solution is housed in a compact
space.
5. Heat press for post treatment of printing (provided by Mutoh)
6. Automatic laser cutter guided by camera technology (Tukatech) - Accelerate
sewn-goods manufacturing with eco-friendly and agile automatic fabric cutting
machines. Precisely cut an expansive variety of materials up to 8 cm compressed
with a vacuum seal, including knits, wovens, and industrial fabrics. Input
