Leading Japanese computerised flat knitting technologist Shima Seiki, together with its Indian sales representative Universal MEP Projects & Engineering Services, Ltd., will participate in the upcoming Garments Machinery Manufacturers & Suppliers Association (GMMSA) Expo India 2025 exhibition to be held in Ludhiana, India next month.

N.SVR183

Shima Seiki will be exhibiting its WHOLEGARMENT knitting technology whereby an item can be produced in one entire piece on the machine without linking or sewing. Its N.SVR183 WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine produces WHOLEGARMENT knitwear using every other needle in fine gauge. N.SVR183 is equipped with the R2CARRIAGE system and a compact, lightweight carriage for high productivity. Shown in 21G at the GMMSA Expo, N.SVR183 is an ideal machine for flexible, entry-level WHOLEGARMENT production, with the versatility to respond to fluctuating market demand.

N.SSR112

Meanwhile the N.SSR112 is a computerised flat knitting machine that offers leading technology in an economical yet reliable package. Featuring industry-leading innovations such as the R2CARRIAGE that yields quicker carriage returns for greater efficiency, spring-type moveable sinker, DSCS Digital Stitch Control System, stitch presser and takedown comb, Made-in-Japan quality, reliability and productivity, as well as user-friendliness and cost-performance combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world’s, and India’s, fashion industry. N.SSR112 is even capable of WideGauge knitting whereby a number of different gauges can be knit into a single garment.

SDS-ONE APEX4 and APEXFiz

SDS-ONE APEX4 3D design system and APEXFiz subscription-based design software support the creative side of fashion from planning and design to colourway evaluation, realistic fabric simulation and 3D virtual sampling. Virtual samples are a digitised version of sample making that are accurate enough to be used effectively as prototypes, replacing physical sampling and consequently reducing time, cost and material that otherwise go to waste.

When a design is approved for production, knitting data which is automatically generated can be converted easily to machine data, allowing smooth communication for digitally bridging the gap between design studio and factory. SDS-ONE APEX4 and APEXFiz help to realize sustainability while digitally transforming the fashion supply chain.
