8. Need for IoT
To sharing data between sensors, computerized
control, information technology, and production
management software.
Any irregular condition is monitored
Efficient resource utilization
To minimize human effort
To save out time
12. IoT ensures that customers
get full value for that they
purchase
They get all the details on
the product utility and
performance
Sensors point them towards
the exact location of items
Informing you about the
materials of the product
Locating it self when lost
Giving your style info
Will enable weather
prediction and detection of
health issues.

17. Conclusion
• IoT development and integration into apparel
is still in its early stages.
• In a recent survey, Industry Week highlighted
that 40% respondents of their survey believed
that this is the right time to invest in IoT
technology.
• IoT technology also should not be limited to
the areas of strategic developments or data
collection but it should be regarded for an
overall IT readiness for apparel supply
chains.
