C&A FIT connects the best elements of digitisation and automation. Using an agile approach, we’re not afraid to fail and try again. In Mönchengladbach, we team up with start-up companies and academic partners at the forefront of digitising textile manufacturing. Driven by automation and robotics, the advanced digitisation of production is a key enabler of higher productivity.

C&A FIT is an Industry 4.0 site, where all machines communicate production data with each other. This level of connection enables us to design production processes that are as automated as possible. One example is the automatic pocket setter as one of the elements of the sewing process. The machine can fold pockets and place them on the jeans. By linking automated processes such as the pocket setting and our laundry area, we achieve a consistently high level of quality and productivity.
