What is CAM???
An image is produced using CAD (Computer Aided Design) and printed onto the transfer paper. The image is then downloaded into the machine's memory and output to the machine bed, creating a machined logo. Companies using CIM can design a product in one country and produce it abroad, where labor costs are lower.

First, a light source is focused on a sample when the reflected light falls on photocell, it transfers the identified color to the memory of the computer. If the shade% of sample is equal to the preset shade%, then 100% perfect shade is obtained. The recipe can be obtained from the information/data system of desired shade from computer or different recipe can be prepared by knowing the shade% of different color.
Microcomputers are now used in various dyeing m/c to display production data like production, efficiency, dyeing temp., time, M:L, dye concentration, amount of chemicals etc. CP/M operating system is now used for post processing for its good program portability to improve production planning and control.

Automation of the Test Procedure
Automating the steps in the test procedure improves the reproducibility of test results due to reduced operator intervention and more precise standardization of test conditions. The accuracy of the instrument then depends on the quality of the sensors and the correctness of the sample data given to the machine. However, the accuracy of the results still depends on the calibration of the instrument.

Development of ERP package for textiles
This includes the input of data (i.e. specifications of input and output processing requirements). To design such a system, one must therefore know several parameters of textiles. Fiber Module:- It consists of market prices of fibers as well as technical specifications like grade, fineness, strength, moisture recovery etc. must be included. Fabric Module:- It includes technical specifications like yarn count for warp and weft, cane count, points and picks per inch, process specification at winding.
Finance Module:- It deals with HR cell and includes various parameters like database on HR, performance. First step: The first step is to enter incoming orders, check the feasibility of requested dates for delivery, suggest possible delivery, manage the entire order cycle from acceptance and entry to packing list, shipping and invoicing, manage the price list, allow orders to be accepted via the Internet , order reception, stock reservation. Second step: The second step is article coding (provides codes for different end products). The code structure for each article type can be named and defined according to the software developer or user and required parameters.
Inventory and Purchasing Care must be taken to define purchasing and inventory policies by specifying minimum inventory levels, reorder quantities, and replenishment times. TESTING: - it is checking correctness of individual program as well as complete system.
LEADING ERP GIANTS
They have been in the spotlight ever since they acquired People Soft ERP software. They have also satisfied the customers (both human and oracle) by offering many competitive features. SAP ERP, a specialized ERP product intended to solve technical and management problems, remains the choice of many companies around the world.
Some of the features and benefits of this software program are at the level of industry standards, although some others need to be improved to make it compatible with the end user. This software remains the undisputed market leader when it comes to H.R. Oracle's recent acquisition of People Soft has only been a boon to its customers who are now able to access Oracle's e-services as a result of this merger as well.

What is RFID?
RFID consists of ???
How RFID works?
Readers can be installed in a stationary position (for example next to a conveyor belt in a factory or dock doors in a warehouse) or portable (integrated into a mobile computer that can also be used for scanning barcodes). If an RFID reader detects an RFID-tagged employee approaching a security door, the door can be designed to open automatically. Furthermore, if shop management could verify through an automated system that an employee was at the appropriate station at the start of the shift or end of a break, some aspects of labor management could be automated, reducing effort by employees and the requires management.
In this process, it is mandatory to bring each lot to the garment stitching process to control the shade variations and product mix. When any clothing product is returned or exchanged, its RFID tag can be read and automatically added to the inventory database. Restocking employees can read the RFID for returned items; they can be given information about where to put it (ie the appropriate shelf if the item is not defective, or a specific area in shipping to return to the seller if the item is defective).
With RFID on loyalty cards to identify the customer, and a customer purchase history database, items can be priced differently depending on the characteristics of the buyer (eg special promotions for first-time buyers and rewards for regular buyers). Different promotions can be offered to different customers via their personal digital assistants or mobile phone screens, at kiosks (Information Stand), and by employees who receive price on their point of sale terminals. Additionally, if customers have submitted their profiles to the store, they can be reminded of upcoming events such as birthdays, and suggested purchases.
These can be added to loyalty cards that already exist at places like.
Re-Stocking Alerts and Replenishment Products are monitored to ensure that they remain
Efficient Decision Making: A study on the production processes and sales pattern can be done using the data collected through the use of RFID. If a process takes more time than necessary, the reasons can be determined and any problems can be eliminated. Therefore, RFID is also useful in making efficient decisions, which ultimately saves costs and increases organizational profitability.
Out-of-stock situations can be reduced, increasing customer satisfaction and confidence in the point of sale. Reducing errors in the supply chain: RFID can be used to track the movement of the goods leaving the warehouses. This can minimize waste and theft and dramatically reduce the chance of errors in the supply chain.
This in turn will lead to timely completion of the production process and cost savings. Less human intervention: Once RFID is incorporated into an organization, the necessary data can be collected as needed using a reader. The number of people required to locate lost items, to locate a particular product, and for inventory control and management can be reduced.
Effective quality control: RFID helps in obtaining data about the exact time when each component of the production process has moved to the next stage.
