IoT based Digitalization and Authentication for large handloom cooperative
KOSHA implemented an innovative IoT-based solution for one of the largest handloom co-operatives, revolutionizing their production tracking and product traceability. This case study showcases how technology can empower traditional artisans and improve supply chain visibility.
Digitizing Handloom Production
Enhancing Efficiency and Trust
Our client, a large handloom co-operative with numerous artisan members, faced challenges in tracking real-time production and ensuring product traceability back to individual artisans. KOSHA's HASTA IoT-based SCM solution, combined with the Weaver Protect labelling system, was implemented to address these issues.
The solution encompassed:
-
Production: IoT-based productivity tracking for real-time insights.
-
Traceability: QR code and mobile-based system for product authentication.
-
Artisan Management: Comprehensive tracking of artisan skills, location, credentials, and products made.
This integrated approach resulted in:
-
Improved visibility of the supply chain down to the artisan level
-
Enhanced artisan pride through recognition of their work
-
Increased trust with consumers through transparent product origins
By digitizing traditional handloom processes, we've helped bridge the gap between age-old craftsmanship and modern market demands, ensuring the sustainability of this vital cultural industry.
