plant. In any plant there are various materials which are to be constantly moved from one section to the
other and so in the apparel manufacturing plant where some or the other equipment’s or machines are
used for the movement of material. Here, I will be discussing overhead hanging system as the material
movement technology in sewing .
At this stage it is also important to identify which line layout is ideal for the product type of the respective
company, also it is important to know the capacity and ability of the company, accordingly material handling
system can be identified for the material movement.
Manual hanger system is an evolved form of material handling and movement system in the industry, as earlier
tables and bins were used. Any Hanger system has several components such as hanger, rail, conveyor etc. and
does runs on conveyor where manual hanger system has manual conveyor and runs short distance on rails by
hand push. The steel rail/rod allow unilateral movement of hangers over the path.
it greatly reduces the labour intensity, operation personnel to improve production efficiency making full use
of the production factory space by unhindered transporting to the obligatory location. It is very light and
flexible; the fork type design is easy for the transfer of products. manual hanger system avoid fold in the
process of manual transmission, improve the quality of products.
It has the obvious advantage of floor space maximization, by allowing components and complete vehicles to
be moved safely above normal working height.it can speed
Machinery and Equipment Required for Basic Level of Technology (Manual Hanger system):
Using automated and computerised hanger system or other computerised materials movement systems
can help in lot of ways. It has a wide range of benefits such as it reduces dependence on manpower due
to which cost, time and chances of error gets reduced, it also records the materials movements
simultaneously which helps in improving quality control. These systems can handle multiple designs and
bulk orders with better performance and with lesser errors. These systems help in allocating the resource
and work in real time and distributing the labour in efficient way. These systems help in obtaining safer,
cleaner, spacious work place which is easy to work and has uninterrupted work flow. It increases the
productivity and reduces the throughput time. Overall, these systems help in achieving better performance
in terms of production output and is easier for the manpower to work.
Some of the benefits of automatic system of material movement over manual system are as follows-
1) I t has Automatically addressable system with the ability to transport & integrate lines over bridges.
2) In this each station can be configured as per the operation to position the pcs close to the need point.
3) Real-time information can be achieved from the lines and has the Ability to connect the data on real-
time with the ERP
4) auto balancing can be done within the same operation.
5) It has a function of Accurate traceability & accountability.
6) Able to get Quality & off-standard information.
7) Easy to integrate with automatic machines.
8) Easy to integrate departments over different floors.
9) Clear visibility, to manage the line by eye. Easy to locate bottlenecks.
10) Ability to run multiple styles in one line.

Conclusion
In case of material movement system in sewing line, we are not having a good return of investment. For the
bulk level of manufacturing advancement in technology will give high productivity with low manpower
involvement and low cost of production with remote mode of maintenance. As per ROI calculation adlevel of
technology is very effective in terms of production and quality except initial cost of investment which is too
high.
