Voltas and Shima Seiki have opened an experience zone in Tirupur. The zone has state-of-the-art machines that not only help customers understand total fashion and whole garment technology but will also act as a local center for education, hands-on training and post-sale support center. The foremost objective of the experience center is to make the customer experience whole garment machines and find for themselves the various possibilities to make the whole range of garments directly from machines. This innovation will help the industry save time as the garment is manufactured by the machines directly from the yarn. Whole garment machines can also give remarkable fashion and meet all quality guidelines in terms of grip, finishing and more. The experience zone also is equipped with a hands-on lab with a high-tech total fashion system where customers can design their virtual sample in the computing device provided in the lab and in the process the time for sample-making is reduced. Currently customers have to go through multiple levels of approvals.
After the experience center in Ludhiana, Tirupur has the second experience center by Voltas which is looking at opening a similar center in New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.
