Optimizing uniform and workwear production with Lectra’s cutting room
The uniforms and workwear segment is expanding rapidly. New growth brings new opportunities and manufacturers have to respond quickly to seize them. How can they overcome their industry challenges to do so?
Uniforms and workwear, a robust market with evolving manufacturing needs
The global workforce is expanding, safety standards are rising, and the demand for stylish, high-performance uniforms has never been stronger. From industrial sites to classrooms, today’s consumers expect more, in terms of comfort, durability and design.
For manufacturers, this is not just a market shift, but also a game-changing opportunity. However, to be able to grasp it, they need to overcome a few common obstacles of their own.
New production constraints of uniforms and workwear
- Balancing low-volume production with high product diversity
As global demand surges, suppliers are increasingly pressured to cater to a broad spectrum of industries, such as schools, hospitality, and military, each with its own set of needs, styles and preferences. They need the agility to produce small, customized batches, while keeping production costs low.
- Standardizing fit and quality
With design, patternmaking, product development, and cutting room teams spread across the globe, collaborating seamlessly is crucial to deliver the right fit and quality, ensuring safety and comfort.
- Handling challenging materials
To stay competitive, manufacturers must work with advanced fabrics like stretch, organic, and antimicrobial materials featuring moisture-wicking, stain-resistant, and anti-creasing properties—often a time-consuming process.
