Module 2 — Factory Digitisation
Covers digitisation initiatives inside apparel factories.
What you will be able to do
Digitise the floor so the data is trustworthy: shop-floor capture, digital quality records, CAD/CAM links, and automation judged on real constraints.
The practical work
Choose one sewing line and design its data capture: what is counted, at which point, by whom or by what device, how a repair or reject is recorded, and how the hourly figure reaches the planner. Then take one automation proposal and calculate its payback against the line's actual bottleneck.
Prerequisite: Read module 1 and pass its quiz first.

1. Hourly output from a line is recorded at end-line, but rework is counted separately later. What is the risk?
2. What makes a digital quality record more useful than a paper one?
3. CAD/CAM integration reduces cutting-room error mainly because
