Shima technology goes on show at GTE 2019

Shima technology goes on show at GTE 2019 001 Leading Japanese computerised flat knitting machine manufacturer Shima Seiki, of Wakayama, Japan, will exhibit at the upcoming Garment Technology Expo (GTE 2019) to be held in New Delhi, India, later this month.

A pioneer of Wholegarment knitting technology, Shima Seiki will present exclusive solutions to meet the current needs of the Indian market, as well as future market needs. Such solutions are provided by the company’s MACH2S Wholegarment knitting machine that offers the flexibility of producing Wholegarment knitwear using every other needle, as well as conventional shaped knitwear using all needles. “This feature helps users to invest in their technology wisely,” the company says.

Demonstrations will also be performed on the latest version of Shima Seiki’s 3D design system SDS-ONE APEX3. At the core of the company’s Total Fashion System concept, APEX3 is designed to provide comprehensive support throughout the product supply chain, integrating production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn development, product planning and design to production and even sales promotion.

“Especially effective is the way APEX3 improves on the design evaluation process with its ultrarealistic simulation capability, whereby virtual samples minimise the need for actual sample-making,” the manufacturer explains. “Together with Wholegarment knitting, APEX3 realises significant savings in time, cost and material, contributing to truly sustainable knit manufacturing.”
