Since you don’t use a rotary phone anymore, why should you run your business using old technologies that don’t respond to current industry challenges?

 

Gemini AutomART® reinvents the workflow for the decorated apparel businesses and empowers you now to make significant savings every step of the way, from product development, to applying decorations and manufacturing. With intuitive and efficient tools and features, our solution enables you to cut down the decorating time by 60%, while saving up to 30% on raw materials, consumables and the pre-sewing manufacturing time.

 

Gemini AutomART® can drastically improve yield and productivity to boost all the decorated apparel businesses for Digital Printing, Laser Engraving and Digital Embroidery.

 

In the Digital Printing sector, Gemini AutomART® solution is based on the ability to handle high-quality printable content, throughout the entire workflow, from product decoration to manufacturing. This leads to automation and speed, improved quality, significant savings on resources and cost, high efficiency – a sum of key benefits which immediately enhance your business growth.

PRODUCT DECORATION

With AutomART® you can import graphical elements as PDF or Adobe Illustrator native files, straight into your favorite apparel CAD software, and they can be brought into the model file or kept as external references. Using intuitive, powerful features, you can easily apply the artwork elements directly on the patterns and quickly obtain identical aesthetics on the entire size set. For example, the Artwork Grading feature allows you to take full control on how artwork elements should behave, in terms of position and dimensions, on each size.

AUTOMATIC DISTRIBUTION OF VARIABLE CONTENT

If adding variable data on garments – like names and numbers, or even different artwork – had mainly been a manual process until now, our technology provides all the tools to automatically place personalized content on the garments, once an order is received. You avoid any troubles or mistakes when handling team and group orders, with individual preferences for each client in terms of artwork, style and body dimensions.

OPTIMIZED PRINT FILES

After the decoration and customization processes are completed, the automatic nesting app will create high-efficiency markers and output ready-to-print PDF files. Relying on an advanced proprietary algorithm, the print files created by AutomART® are highly optimized in terms of file size, therefore, you don’t have to worry anymore when sending long markers to the RIP software, as the file is small enough to be managed.

COLOR CONSISTENCY

We are aware that color management is critical in any printing process. AutomART® keeps all color information unaltered: the recipe originally encapsulated into the imported PDF/AI files will be preserved throughout the entire process and passed to the print files, guaranteeing a perfect output both in direct to fabric and in transfer printing workflows.

AutomART® COMPARATIVE CHART

THE CLASSIC WAY

VS

AUTOMART'S WAY

THE CLASSIC WAY

  • Each individual size (or group of two / three sizes) is decorated.
  • Artwork elements are manually scaled and/or repositioned on each size, to meet the aesthetic requirements.
  • Artwork elements going over seams or zippers are manually adjusted on each piece and on all sizes, to match with the assembled product.
  • 3D mock-ups are created manually for visual design validation.

VS

AUTOMART'S WAY

  • Only one size is decorated, and the same artwork is automatically applied on all sizes.
  • Artwork elements are automatically scaled and/or repositioned to obtain a similar “look” on all sizes.
  • Artwork elements going over seams or zippers are automatically aligned for a perfect match.
  • Actionable, realistic 3D objects are instantly generated.

DESIGN

THE CLASSIC WAY

Variable content, like names and numbers are, in most cases, added manually. Other variable artwork, like the sponsors’ logos, are manually replaced on each product.

VS

AUTOMART'S WAY

Variable content, texts or artwork, are automatically replaced on the specific size, based on order details. The customization process requires no artwork imposition or pattern making knowledge.

CUSTOMIZE

THE CLASSIC WAY

  • To create print files, the parts are manually nested into a marker. The average efficiency for such interactive markers is about 70% and it goes down to 60% when sublimated piece-by-piece as a significant gap is required between the parts to precisely position the cut parts on the paper.
  • Outlines or registration marks are manually added when cutting with visual recognition, after sublimation.

VS

AUTOMART'S WAY

  • Relying on powerful automatic nesting, AutomART® will create high efficiency markers, including output print and cut files.
  • To accommodate your cutting process, registration marks or outlines will be automatically added.

MANUFACTURE

Instant Savings with Sustainable Technology

In printwear industry, you deal with all kinds of challenges on a daily basis. You have to meet short deadlines and very specific products’ decoration requests, which usually leads to compromise between speed, quality and consumption. And yes, you handle all well and make good business out of it.


But if you do well, how about doing great? Gemini AutomART® is that new, disruptive technology which allows immediate business growth through higher savings and better efficiency. Our solution pushes you forward to improve and fully automate your workflows. You replace manual work, avoid human errors, enhance the products’ quality and get up to a 20% increase in productivity, without any additional investments in printing equipment.

6.23m length by 1.6m width // 80.19% efficiency

SAVE UP TO 60% OF THE PRODUCT DESIGN TIME

One of the biggest challenges of the design stage is to accurately decorate each individual size of the products, in order to obtain similar aesthetics on the entire size set. In a non-apparel environment this often requires manually adjusting (reposition and/or scale) graphical elements and struggling for artwork alignment across seams and zippers. Unlike an image-editing application or any other apparel CAD software, Creative STUDIO, equipped with the AutomART® extension, allows you to immediately access smart imposition tools, performing simultaneous decoration of the entire size set. You can grade the artwork by automatically repositioning and/or scaling the graphical elements from size to size, you can auto-align the visuals across seams or zippers and also use other new and advanced features meant to simplify and speed up the product development.

SAVE UP TO 40% OF PAPER, PRINTING TIME AND TRANSFER TIME

Currently, almost 40% of printing paper remains white. It does not matter if this is due to manual nesting or to the heat-transfer process that requires a significant gap between prints (so the heat-press operators have enough freedom to accurately place fabric parts onto the transfer paper) – the “white paper” triggers a domino effect of generating waste, throughout all the next stages. Moving the printhead over and over those large white areas without printing translates to wasted paper as well as wasted time and energy for the printing and transfer process. Using AutomART® for product decoration, you directly benefit from the power of an automatic nesting engine, specially created for decorated apparel. Nest EXPERT generates high-efficiency markers​ (accommodating any of your cutting and transfer strategies) while giving you a helping hand on managing the fabric transformation during printing, as stretching and/or shrinkage can be now parameterized.

HOW ABOUT ZERO INK WASTE?

As product decoration in an image-editor environment is a time-consuming job and a labor-intensive process, it’s a common practice for the designers to decorate only a few sizes. For example, out of a size set from 4XL to 2XS, only intermediates, like 4XL, XL and S for instance, will be individually decorated. The prints for decorated sizes will be used to sublimate smaller ones, therefore a significant amount of ink is wasted. AutomART® makes the decoration process easy to run and time efficient, so waste generating practices like the one above will never again be a part of your workflow.

A Huge Leap in Sustainability, in Mass Production Sector

Arguably, the most polluting part of the entire fashion chain is dying or printing fabrics. Harmful chemicals and vast amounts of water are part of every fabric’s story today. Companies pushing digital printing as an alternative have great potential to change this. However, the change is slow, and the cost of digitally printed fabrics is still high for many mass-produced garments. 

Evolution is not enough; the industry is waiting for something to shake things up. Gemini has the answer to this challenge with a game changing approach.

It is not simple, it requires all the players in the supply chain to adopt changes, but the reward is huge for the producers, buyers, and most of all for the environment. Let’s see this reward in numbers:

By adopting Gemini’s AutomART® Mass Print flow, digital printers can save no less than 40% of the ink, while the overall fabric consumption can drop by up to 30%.

Moreover, all the leftover fabric remains white, not printed, therefore easier to recycle, and the overall printers’ output can be boosted by up to 30%.

The above figures are staggering, so how can Gemini do this? 

We change the way the orders for digitally printed fabrics are placed, how fabrics are printed and cut. You only print the fabric you actually use.

Why print this edge-to-edge fabrics? When you can print only what you need? Why print fabric which we already know will be discarded?

These are very simple questions; you don’t need to be Einstein to understand something is very wrong.

CLASSICAL APPROACH:

Digital fabric printing as it is done today is only replacing the polluting analogue printing, but it is not utilizing the full benefit of digital printers. They still fully print the fabric edge-to-edge.

INSTEAD, GEMINI IS DOING THIS:

Design the products including their colors and prints. 

Nest markers according to orders and generate print jobs. 

Markers are cut on cutters with visual recognition.

WHAT YOU GET:

  • 30% white fabric and ink savings, as the markers are no longer constrained by fabrics repetition, and the efficiency can increase from ~60% to ~90%;
  • an additional 10% ink savings, plus an easier job to recycle, as 10% of the waste fabric remains white;
  • productivity increased by 30% and 30% costs savings, because the printer must run 30% less fabric for the same quantity of garments.

Bonus:

  • Labels can be embedded in the fabric prints, resulting in the elimination of all the costs and logistics for labeling, at the same time having a 100% error free process. Labels can include dynamic information, such as traceability or sizing.
  • Notches and other technical symbols needed for manufacturing can simply be printed on the surface. There is no need to cut or punch anymore, resulting in higher quality and less time on the cutting machine.

Spectacular Usage for Laser Engraving & Embroidery

One of the most powerful visual paradigms – What You See Is What You Get – is also applied by Gemini to manage special garment decorations. 

We can process machine files for embroidery and laser engraving, which enables you to see them directly on the garment. 

We help you to easily place them and find the right dimensions, size by size, using the same grading tools as applied to patterns.

ENGRAVING

You can see the realistic effect of the laser beam on each material type, so you can choose the exposure parameters.

EMBROIDERY

You can play with threads and see how they look on the embroidery, alter the size, rotate, position, and then output the appropriate machine file.

Despite how good the technology is, the real value is added by the human touch. 

Gemini CAD Systems keeps the balance by putting the same effort into building a powerful team as it does in developing its products.
