Chennai based Industrial Sewing Systems (ISSS) is a leading provider of apparel machinery, consulting and IT Solutions in India, offering a cutting edge planning solution – Fastreact; a tailored brand of labour saving and production improvement devices. The company, with a strong presence in India and a list of satisfied customers, is now offering the economically priced Unit Hanger System (UHS) technology from France.
The UHS increases throughput production by 20% by cutting work in progress (WIP), reducing number of workers required on the job and cutting down on operator fatigue. It is easier to identify bottlenecks and sets a working pace for the operators, thereby increasing production. The 6 Ball Hanger can hold all parts of the garment preventing any possibility of losing garment parts and soiling. Quality issues like seam puckering can be easily identified and panel shade problem can be controlled 100%. Time spent on bundle opening and separation work is eliminated.
The UHS is very simple to install and run and economical with an ROI of less than 2 months. It is flexible and modular, capable of connecting all machines in a factory. The factory can set up a line of multiple styles, or of variable combinations to achieve a faster rate of production output with an improved management control and time management resulting in lower costing and also additional product output without any additional cost. The system, ergonomically designed for operator convenience, also offers an optional overhead suspension.
Already successfully running in the industry, the UHS is a space saver in a factory and results in a clean and conventional environment. Paramesh from Integra, commenting on the UHS said, “The system is quite effective as compared to clipping on chain hanger, avoiding entanglement, thereby producing case of movement between workstations.”
Raju Selvam, Production Head of SFA Technology, added, “Even though price was a major consideration in choosing the UHS, we realised that line balancing and synchronisation of work is easier with the manual UHS. Other than reducing the working capital, the UHS has also increased our productivity by 20%”.
