Smart logistics and warehousing
Advanced logistics and warehouse solutions assist producers in maximizing floor space utilization and enhancing material management processes. Technologies such as vertical storage units, automated categorization systems, along with air and land transportation innovations decrease the time required for stock access and boost precision in orders.
These systems are particularly advantageous in settings with a wide variety of products produced at high volumes, where optimizing spatial usage and facilitating rapid material transfer are key to sustaining the production process.
Pre-cutting and cutting
Initially, automation streamlines the processes of material handling and cutting. Systems designed with intelligence for fabric relaxation and spreading guarantee an even preparation of the fabric prior to cutting, thereby minimizing distortions caused by tension.
Part of Cosma’s advanced cutting process includes automated cutters that provide accurate cuts, minimize fabric wastage, and decrease setup duration. Furthermore, the AI-driven fabric inspection device, automatic fabric spreading equipment, and tagging system operate together to improve uniformity during large-scale manufacturing and lessen human involvement.
Sewing
Innovations in the sewing process incorporate technologies such as PPA Automation, Programmed Sewing using Templates, and AI Robotics. These advancements boost precision during stitching, especially when dealing with intricate or ornamental seams. Additionally, automated inspection processes and garment hanging mechanisms increase overall efficiency, minimize hold-ups, and allow workers to concentrate on higher-value activities.
Finishing
Sophisticated finishing techniques streamline final processes, guaranteeing clothes are properly folded and packaged as per brand specifications.
At this stage, automation enhances presentation quality, cuts down packaging duration, and diminishes reliance on manual work. Features such as dust and thread extraction mechanisms, automatic sorting, and built-in box-packing functions lead to more efficient dispatch readiness. This enables companies to fulfill rapidly changing shipment timelines with higher dependability.
Software solutions
The heart of these technologies lies within the Advanced Planning & Scheduling System, an intelligent software designed for managing productions. Offering real-time insights into operational activities, this system allows companies to oversee their assets, utilize artificial intelligence and big data to allocate tasks efficiently among various production lines, and swiftly adapt to shifts in manufacturing demands. By adding this digital framework, inter-departmental collaboration improves significantly, idle times decrease, and choices become more grounded in accurate data analysis.

Hoshima International’s approach to automation centers around integrating various systems—real efficiency arises not merely from standalone machinery, but from how effectively these machines collaborate. Nonetheless, the success of such integrated systems hinges significantly on the individuals responsible for designing, operating, and continually enhancing them.
Han Kiong Chong, Founder and Managing Director at Hoshima International, stated that technology is merely one aspect of the formula; the remainder depends on robust collaborations and a collective dedication.
The expansion we've achieved over two and a half decades would not have been achievable without the confidence and backing of our collaborators. This gathering wasn't merely centered around machinery; it revolved around individuals.
