Abbas Apparel Machinery Company, has  installed the ETON work  stations at the new apparel lab at Textile Institute of  Pakistan. It has taken a step  forward in providing hands-on experience of this fully    automated material handling system to the university students, who in turn will apply these systems to apparel and textile industry to improve productivity. The facility is also available for the industry to visit and understand the modern manufacturing processes.

The ETON system provides hanged garments to move as per pre-programmed schedules carrying the garment part or fabric to the relevant work station at the most ergonomic pick-up point. Once the      operation is completed, the part will be forwarded to the next operator at the click of a button. The system also maintains     required WIP to reduce waiting time. The TIP apparel lab is now equipped with  25 sewing machines, mini fusing machine, cutting table and manual overhead rail system in addition to ETON. TIP Management wishes to extend their thanks to the following donors who also contributed to set up the new apparel lab:

• Lucky Tex who  donated six lockstitch      machines and three special sewing machines before the commencement of the new lab.
• Euro Classic Systems who donated and installed  Qwiktrak overhead rail manual material transport system with two work stations and a loading point for cut  panels.
