Digital pen and paper solution: tailor-made for the textile business
Challenge:
To find an alternative device for transferring patterns to fabric that would be more portable than the bulky “digitalizer” commonly used.
Solution:
A prototype pen, which carries DPP technology.
Benefits:
|
|
The digital pen is in this case Bluetooth-enabled, allowing information to be transferred wirelessly and further increasing user-convenience. The advantages for a global producer of machinery for the textile industry are twofold: firstly the process of inputting information into the cutting machine has become much simpler, and secondly, the pattern can easily be organized on the fabric in such a way as to reduce material waste to a minimum.

|
1. The transparent paper is placed over the designer’s drawing and key points plotted using the digital pen.
2. The pen registers the shapes and fills in the blanks between plotted points.
3. The pen is then docked in the PC so the design can be stored and transferred to the textile plotter which prints on the fabric. |
|
|
Cost effective and robust, the digital pen and transparent paper are much easier to carry around. Since the digital pen doesn’t “see” the lines drawn on it, the same paper can be used many times over.

Digital pen solves baker’s weight problem
Challenge:
To solve the weight loss (and consequently pricing) issue of bread between leaving the production plant and arriving at the customer.
Solution:
DPP technology that includes a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.
Benefits:
|
|
Bread prices can be set accurately according to delivered bread weight.
|
|
|
Scheduling and processing of orders are more efficient and workload of office staff reduced.
|
|
|
Waste is lower since the bakery knows exactly how much bread customers need.
|
|
|
Drivers verify orders remotely so they can “clock off” straight after the last delivery.
