Industry Case & Field Activity

INDUSTRY CASE, “ONE GARMENT, FULL CIRCLE”

• Follow one garment through the full digital chain, connecting all six chapters. A small knitwear brand (inspired by Rifò, Prato) launches a mono-material merino sweater with a Digital Product Passport:
• (1) AI-assisted concept exploration + CLO3D prototype, three sample rounds saved;
• (2) whole-garment digital knitting, produced after orders are placed;
• (3) demand forecast from pre-orders and sell-through data;
• (4) DPP with GS1 Digital Link + RFID tag;
• (5) take-back, repair and resale loop in the MUD Jeans style.
• At each checkpoint answer: Which digital tool made the step possible, and what did it save, samples, inventory, returns, emissions?
• Deliverable: one A4 visual chain (max 300 words + diagram).

FIELD ACTIVITY

• Visit (physically or virtually) a local atelier, print studio or micro-factory. Map every digital touchpoint you observe to the chapters of this module, CAD/3D software, digital printing, ERP/stock software, QR/RFID, e-commerce, and interview one person about one tool they adopted: what changed, what it cost, what they would do differently.
• Deliverable: one A4 illustrated field report (max 400 words + photo or diagram).
