The sustainable textile industry has become a global imperative. Regulatory pressure, consumer demands and sustainability objectives mean that factories must evolve towards more efficient digital models.

Industrial digitisation is advancing rapidly, but so are the threats. Every year, cyber-attacks on companies increase, especially in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, food and logistics, where the convergence between IT and OT systems expands the attack surface.

Smart packaging is revolutionising the way companies manage traceability in the supply chain, reduce waste and improve the customer experience. Unlike traditional packaging, smart packaging integrates sensors, QR codes, RFID or even blockchain, becoming strategic assets within Industry 4.0.

The integration of CAD, ERP and document management is one of the pillars of the digital factory. In many industrial companies, design, administrative management and technical documentation work in silos or watertight compartments, leading to data duplication, errors, delays and cost overruns.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are part of this production chain face increasing challenges every day: meeting strict regulations, ensuring the traceability of each batch and reducing costs in an increasingly competitive market.

The textile and fashion industry is undergoing a digital transformation. Consumers demand speed, transparency and sustainability, while companies face challenges such as shorter production cycles, cost control and omnichannel retailing.
