Recently, a brand manager was invited by the school to give us a simple brand introduction course. The brand name is John Smedley, which own more than 230 years of history. The brand is a family-owned company which has made innovative, contemporary knitwear since the 18th century and has also served the royal family. Therefore, for her knitting part of the topic, as a knitting major, I pay special attention. Moreover, she introduced a lot of more mature factory devices and equipment, which made me more clearly understand how knitting technology is used in factories
The first is the standardized factory steps. Before this presentation, although I had some understanding of the facilities and steps of a modern factory, I was not as detailed as she said. In the process, she showed us the schematics and flow charts of part of the factory's production process. I was impressed by the use of different machines and the more systematic flow chart. In this process, I was surprised by the changes brought to the knitting industry by the development of industrialization, and at the same time, I realized the importance of mastering modern knitting technology as a knitting student. In the face of a large number of market demand, how to make their products can be put into mass production, how to increase the production efficiency of products is very important.
The second one is the equipment that can be used in factory. Take the computerized flat knitting machine she mentioned. The mention of this machine caused a great deal of discussion in the later student discussion class. First of all, non-knitting students are curious about the relevant machine, followed by the discussion on the application direction of this machine. Compared with Domestic Knit Machine, the use of Power is faster and more efficient, which is suitable for the pursuit of more efficient industrial production. At the same time, many knitted patterns that can be manufactured by the latter can also be easily manufactured in Power. However, because of the particularity of electronic machines, the requirements for yarns will be higher than Domestic Knit Machine. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on the application in the specific use process.

Finally, turn our attention to sustainability. With the increasingly serious environmental problems, many brands have begun to pay attention to how to add the concept of sustainable development to their brand concept. One of the simplest ways to be sustainable is to reduce the loss of fabric and improve the overall quality of clothing. To improve the bad quality of clothing is to improve the wearing time of clothing, reduce the waste of clothing, and improve the practicality of clothing, which can realize the sustainability of clothing from another perspective. Another method is for knitted clothing. In addition to yarn, which can be easily degraded, yarns wasted in the process of industrial production can also be collected, reprocessed, and reused to reduce waste.
