Smart and Safe Work Wear Clothing

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

The project focuses on mass customisation, and the possibility to integrate IT technology in work wear, as well as to enhance supply chain management. The objective is to develop the work wear clothing industry in the Baltic Sea Region and prepare it to meet competition from new producers and imports from other parts of the world. Each country participates in the project with two pilot small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and a higher education or a research institute. One of the SMEs is a producer of work wear and the other is a customer using profile clothing. The measurements for staff using work wear and profile clothing are accomplished by means of a 3D body scanner. End users can come from different branches in each country. Results of the measurement process are better fitting clothing, innovative design and highlighting workwear user need. This is a tool to gain a competitive advantage which the SMEs will achieve? and hence a growing opportunity to enlarge business possibilities. Furthermore, innovative IT technology suppliers are analysed, and possibilities to integrate smart/IT technology with work wear clothing will be piloted. The effectiveness of the existing transnational supply chain will be benchmarked. The best practices will be disseminated among SMEs in the textile and clothing industry.

Achievements (EN):

Smarter work wear garments created: The project conducted interviews and 3D body scans of 547 work wear users in Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland to create new measure tables that any company manufacture garments can freely use now. The collected data, designed 2D patterns and virtual 3D fitting, enabled the project partners to develop five customised prototypes of work wear garments for construction works, chemical industry, military forces (marines and regular army), and firefighters. They incorporated smart fabrics, for example, to repel insects, and electronic devices that enable to track the location of a person wearing the work wear in emergency situations, communicate remotely or monitor the firefighters’ physiological parameters. First companies profiting from cooperation with researchers: Each prototype was developed jointly by a company and a research institute. The cooperation strengthened the position of 11 companies from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland to compete more effectively against imports from Asian markets. By using 3D body scanning, digital pattern making, virtual fitting, and introducing smart functionality to work wear, the companies can save time and money when developing new products, and increase the quality and functionality of new work wear produced. More competitive work wear market: Thanks to EUR 2 million of support from the European Union, the Interreg project SWW paved the way for enterprises manufacturing work wear around the Baltic sea to bring a competitive edge over Asian cheaper imports and new producers. http://interreg-baltic.eu/project/sw/
