2009 Fashion Technology Articles

This section of the Apparel Search News Directory is for reading articles regarding fashion technology. If you work for a technology company relevant to fashion, you are welcome to submit your technology articles for review. The 2009 collection runs on three threads. Product lifecycle management and enterprise software anchor the year — Siemens PLM's next-generation softlines tools, Polygon's strong positive MarketScope rating, NGC's PLM and global sourcing releases and its RedHorse ERP at Ramp Logistics, and Infor on keeping pace with the speed of fashion. Design software follows — OptiTex at Material World West, at the GPU Technology Conference and in a new webinar series, Browzwear's V-Stitcher 4.4 and Artlandia's SymmetryWorks. And tracking technology ties the year to regulation and retail: Avery Dennison's RFID at NRF 2009, its CPSIA product-tracking labeling solution, and its Scanbuy partnership turning camera phones into in-store sales assistants. This guide collects the fashion technology articles Apparel Search published in 2009 — 30 articles grouped by month, October back to January.
