Implementation Solution

KF SMART, proposed solution has 4 stages, with tasks , subtasks and targets  , as follow:

Stage 1: Development of a basic digital database of assets (4 sets of tested, validated,  customized, and reusable body shape avatars, pre-shaped pattern blocks virtual prototypes (VPs),  fabrics type, styles feature, components, and accessories) linked with open costing sheets templates →  that will set the base for further market-adoption of KF smart-modelling future (collaborative design &  virtual prototyping) service portfolio. It is an experimental step towards valid testing & integration of 3D  design technologies into a traditional design and product development service perfected in the last 2 decades and tested validated through this experiment,which also  could be  disseminated and replicated  in the regional and EU  fashion industry.In order to develop a strong digital asset database we will perform a series of activities:

1. Analyze all KF Clients by:
   1. Extracting all relevant clients and developing a relevant client criteria table, under which the clients are sorted.
   2. Setting a weighted system for the criteria and implementing it in the table .
   3. Select the top 4 clients and extract and prepare all necessary information for the 3D database for said clients.
   4. Select and attribute costs to each selected item in the table.
2. Develop Body Shape Avatars (BSA) by:
   1. Developing BSAs for base sizes.
   2. Developing BSAs for the relevant sizes of our selected customers.
   3. Testing BSA performance.
3. Build Pattern Blocks by:
   1. Developing and confirming relevant pattern blocks in a collaborative manner.
   2. Building 3D modelling capabilities within the KF team
   3. Developing Basic blocks 1 through 4.
   4. Identifying weaknesses or difficulties in the process/concept.
   5. Engaging in know-how exchange and performing cross-check validation.
4. Building Digital Asset Database by:
   1. Integrating all activities in the Cloud/servers.
   2. Creating a template library.
   3. Uploading developed materials.
   4. Developing Homewear & Business Chic Wear Digital Components
   5. Developing Homewear & Business Chic Wear Digital Stiches
   6. Developing Homewear & Business Chic Wear Digital Materials
   7. Performing Database testing.

Stage 2: Solution validation (a sustainable alternative to the traditional waste-creator design  process – adopting the novel technology of collaborative design and virtual prototyping (VP) – smart  modelling) . with 4 KF’s relevant customers within 2 main product categories (home-wear and  business chic women’s wear). If solution is validated, we aim it to become core KF service line in 2024. In order to conduct the solution validation we will ingage in the following series of activities:

1. 3D Modelling Testing through:
   1. KF Client collaboration by engaging in buy-in activities.
   2. Collaboratively prototyping with KF clients in Homewear and Business Chic Wear
   3. Collecting performance metrics and analyzing the 3D performance.
   4. Implementing fixes and suggestions in order to improve the final product.

Stage 3: Developing a successful DIH business model around introducing Smart Modelling as an  alternative to traditional wasteful design process in the fashion & textile industry in North East Romania  region. In order to develop the business model we will conduct the following activities:

1. Attend trainings
2. Conduct service evaluations
3. Leverage all support from the DIH World network to develop a successful DIH business model that will transform the region`s textile industry.

Stage 4: Dissemination of DIH World consortium and network objectives under use-cases from  the Romanian textile industry

We will implement the requirements related to the visibility of the DIH World program, visual elements,  distinct communication approach as its own etc. To increase the desired impact of dissemination  and communication activities a system to measure the communication impact will be  implemented. This will include various technical and marketing solutions (SEO, target groups  identification, interlinking with other systems, etc.). The target groups of the dissemination and  communication are divided into two categories, where appropriate communication channels and  messages will be presented:

1. Direct targets at national & EU level, with associated communication messages to it:
   1. TG1: Textile & fashion industry owners and employees, to which we address messages expressing the need for industry specialists and digital skills
   2. TG2: Representatives of SMEs, public sector and other institutions to which we present the program benefits and reason for which to engage in similar business development.
2. Indirect targets at national & EU level, with associated communication messages to it:
   1. TG3: SMEs, associations, regional business innovation ecosystems which will receive general information regarding our activities
   2. TG4: The public at large which receives content related to sustainable business opportunities, digital skill requirements and more that are in line with our project.

For this we will select communication channels tailored to the target groups: • TG1, TG4: social media and online medium, with some local events. TG2, TG3: social media and the online medium, as they  became crucial channels for information generation, dissemination, consumption, and professional  interactivity during the 2020-2021 crises.
