Technology Station: Clothing and Textiles (TSCT)
Mr Shamil Isaacs
The TSCT is located in the Faculty of Engineering on the Bellville campus. The unit was established to assist the clothing and textile industry with innovation support in order to become more competitive. This provides feedback into teaching, learning and research at CPUT. By engaging staff and students in its programmes the TSCT assists CPUT to become responsive to industry needs. TIA is the main sponsor of the TSCT.
The TSCT provides the following services to the clothing, textile and related sectors:
Manufacturing advisory services
Examples include manufacturing audits and assessment; industrial engineering services for the improvement of productivity, including process layout, optimising sewing methods and work-study; implementation of production systems to improve production; and advice on the acquisition of new or improved technology.
Technology platform
The TSCT has a number of specialised machines which are available by appointment to small businesses.
Product testing and analysis
The laboratory at the TSCT provides product testing and an analysis service to the clothing and textile and related industries, and is accredited by Woolworths.
Human capital development
CPUT has been appointed by the Fibre Processing and Manufacturing Sector Education Training Authority (FP&M SETA) as an Institute of Sectoral Occupational Excellence (ISOE). The TSCT offers a menu of short learning programmes and has been appointed by the FP&M SETA as a host training provider, which allows the TSCT to offer learnership in conjunction with qualifying firms.
Product development
Services include technical drawing, pattern development, sample making, pattern grading, marker making and 3D body scanning.
Smart organisation
Firms are provided services as a group to facilitate cross-learning and sharing of resources and cost. Clustering of small businesses into joint training and project interventions allows for network facilitation and benchmarking.
Research
The TSCT undertakes product and process development studies for clothing and textile companies, including the identification of hazardous substances in textiles and the treatment of textile effluent. It also provides size and fit studies using a 3D body scanner.
