Garment IO terminals can be installed easily on all factory machines, requiring just a simple power outlet and Wi-Fi. In addition to using the terminals for data, these can also be used for employee check-ins, according to reports from the Middle East.
The software provides information on production order tracking and bottlenecks, style tracking, live transaction feed, quality level and machine downtime in English and in Arabic.
In the near future, the start-up hopes to expand to Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey.
