& Future Proofing Response<br />
Information Management Information Technology- 3D Printing R&D and Innovation<br />
In manufacturing,<br />
Inventory etc<br />
information<br />
management will<br />
become essential<br />
to address flexible<br />
demands of<br />
customers<br />
3D printing or any other similar technology will not<br />
eliminate spinning….fiber to fabric applications will<br />
be limited to industrial applications<br />
Smart/Functional Fabrics<br />
Smart fabrics and their applications can rise in<br />
some specific segments….medical, sports etc.<br />
Unlikely that the Government of Thailand will invest<br />
into R&D for the textile industry….unlike in South<br />
Korea<br />
R& D Innovation would be absolute ingredient of<br />
business success in future<br />
Information<br />
management<br />
of Products will<br />
be required to<br />
demonstrate<br />
traceability to<br />
customers<br />
Smart fabrics would require incorporation of<br />
smartness at the stage of spinning<br />
More importantly, demand for functional/function<br />
enhancing fabrics….medical and sports would<br />
grow<br />
Information Technology- Robotics<br />
In near future very few operations may be<br />
amenable for robotic handling<br />
Automation may increase significantly in<br />
the face of labour shortages, demand for<br />
quality and smaller batch sizes<br />
