Abstract
The paper investigates the prospects of extending intelligent manufacturing in the field of clothing industries. Actual facilities lack behind the currently exploited options of automation, already in use for most of the business, as effectiveness is hunted for by productive break-up, moving outside labour intensive phases. The investment cost in computer-integration, indeed, is possibly partially recovered with productivity and, much more, by production quality.
