Resaerch Internship at Handelslabbet (3/3)

 Hi fellas!

Hope everyone enjoyed the summer break with lots of fun.. Same here as well :) So again planning to come give a kick start for the new semester. So before start the new semester, I would like to share some insides about my research internship with Handelslabbet. 

It was so much of fun with lots of experiences into AI and Robotics. During my research internship I got to study about robotics involvement in retail environment and improvements that will happen in near future in our society with the continuous improvement of technology. 

These days I am planning on my task to arrange the window display for the new semester. Excited for it!

Handelslabbet was an ideal space to get some AI and Mestaverse experiences. I really enjoyed with the visitors as well who excited to try our exciting equipments at the lab. Once you are free do not forget to visit our lab at the textile building on Tuesday 14.00 onwards.. 

Regards,

Salini.

Dear Mates!

Hope all of you are doing good.

My internship period will soon be going to over. I have had such a positive experience and everyone in the company has been so supportive and welcoming. I have gained some insight into the production process in the denim industry.

My last weeks will be focusing on working tasks connected to the quality and sustainability project that I am taking care. I am now summarizing all the outcomes of these projects so that I can hand over it by this month properly. In the upcoming last days of my internship, I will focus on making the most of the time, both work wise and in terms of enjoying Stockholm city. It has been amazing months and I am so happy that I got the opportunity to experience this. 

 

Looking forward to meeting you all again this fall! Until then, enjoy the lovely summer.

Thanks

Zarin.

My Internship Journey-(2/3)

 

Hey All !

Hope all of you are doing good J.

I have finished my first 02 month of 04-month internship program. In my first blog I gave little bit introduction about the company and my responsibility. In this time period I was involved in lots of tasks and have learned a lot. This brand sells their product through both wholesaler and their own online platform. We have just finished our next season product development. Last month we had a kick-off in our Stockholm office where wholesaler agent from Norway and Germany came to see our collection and based on this, they will place the orders. It was a great day with fun. The agents really liked our collection and also gave their input which might be interesting to have in our collection. As a sustainable brand we also tag what materials and why we are using in our product in order to be more sustainable. I gave a brief description on the sustainable materials that we used in our product and also about the techniques how these materials are produced. I was appreciated a lot on my small presentation on sustainability perspective and it was a nice feeling I must say. Right now, I am developing sustainable trims and making a business case such as what’s the price, lead-time, and quality issues so that we can use it for our next season product. Apart from this, I am  working with the supplier to collect certificates against all the sustainable materials that we are using. I am also involved in  system related task to upload different data such as new product, purchase order, measurement chart etc. I am also contributing in product quality control part such as making a summery on which part we got customer claim most for our product, and analyzing the root cause along with the concern supplier to find out the reason and also the way to minimize in future.

So overall I can say, I am really enjoying my task and  acquiring lots of practical knowledge which I belief will definitely add value in my future career. I will share more regarding my experience for the last 02 month of internship in my last Blog.

Take care and enjoy the summer J.

3/3

 Hi everyone!

I have now had my last day on my internship and its been an amazing experience and I have learned so much during these past weeks. Since i last wrote i was in the newsletter team and took part in meetings regarding the automatic newsletter that the customer will get once they sign up. I have also done an external analysis to see how other competitors are presenting their newsletter on site and how they are structured. Then I also did an external analysis of customer loyalty which i thought was super interesting to deep dive in. Other things that have happened since last time i wrote is that its been a summerparty at the office with flowers as a theme. Sweden as always lived up to its reputation and the rain was pouring, but the party was fun anyway. The last weeks i spent with the growth team where i have gathered information about facebook ads and found statistics on different search words for example. 

Hope you'll have a great summer and I will see you again in the fall :D

 Hey Everyone

Here is my last blog on very last day of field study. Hope, you guys enjoyed your last few days of field studies. I was really busy for last couple of weeks for having interviews for my project. 

As you know, my topic was traceability for circularity of textiles, at the end of the project, I must say, it is a matter of concern regarding in what extent fashion brands are realizing the importance of traceability for recycling textiles. Even though, some brands already started practicing, but this is all for consumer perspective, ignoring the requirement on further stages of product life cycle.

Anyway, I have been writing my report and working on presentation as well.

Hope to see you guys on next period.

RAI - FTA Internship (3/3)

Hey guys !

This is already my last Blogspot entry for the field study. Although the last weeks were a little hectic and busy, it went by even quicker. We have further strengthen and extended the research. By analysing the gathered dataset of related tweets from Twitter with a LDA topic model analysis and a following semantic analysis, I could make up prevailing topics in the dataset and analyse these based on their semantic. This showed interesting results, which sometime are very much in contrast to current literature.

I have to say besides the unfortunate change of research methodology throughout the project, I have learned a lot about working and analysing large datasets in Python and I am very thankful to Vijay who helped me a lot on the entire project, even with the stupidest questions.

We will be presenting the outcome of our research in the next week in Stockholm and will participate in a research conference hosted by the FT Alliance in September this year.

Now I am doing my finishing touches for the report and presentation and are looking much forward to the Summer break.

I hope you all had a great last period of your field study and enjoy your summer !

See you in fall for the third term.

All the best,

Fabian

The last week of my internship (post 3/3)

 Dear Classmates,

The internship is coming to an end and this will be my final post here. In my last post, I mentioned that I was working on creating a sustainability page for the company. This has been very fun and interesting, as I have gained a lot of knowledge about how a company can work with sustainability in the textile industry. From a creative perspective, it has been a lot of fun because I have been able to freely design and come up with ideas of how the page should look graphically. In addition to this, I was able to use knowledge that I have gained from the program to write the content on the page. The sustainability page is now finished and is scheduled to be uploaded on the website of Newbody Family at the end of this week. If you wish to see the final results, you can visit the company website!

Lastly, I would like to mention that I have truly enjoyed my internship at Newbody Family. My internship position allowed me to experience and understand the tasks and activities of different departments as well as how the departments work together. I believe that this will be my biggest takeaway from my time here, as it provided me with a broad understanding of how a company in the textile industry operates instead of just understanding one department.

Wish you all a great summer and I hope to see you in autumn!

All the best,

Andrea

 Hey everyone!!

I can't believe that it's already the end of May ... The last couple of weeks have been busy with collections launches, photoshoots, sample requests and taking pictures and filming for social media. I really appreciate the time I have had here - it has been so much fun learning new things!

So, during my last week here I will focus on completing the field study report, work and enjoy Copenhagen with Klara and Linnea!

Enjoy the summer and I look forward to seeing you this fall 🌞🌻

Blog post by Shafin 3/3 (CLO in VR)

Hej everyone,

How is it going with the end of your internship? I have been reading some of the posts and I am glad that we are really enjoying this part of our program. I am also at the end of my research internship and I got something for you to enjoy as well. So take a fika and spend some time reading my final blog.

If you have read my previous posts you already know that I started my research internship with Handelslabbet at our University on CLO3D. With their exceptional work on different optical devices like Tobii eye tracker glasses, VR setup, and Microsoft's AR glasses (Also known as holoLens) I was introduced to a very fun and interactive research direction. I was challenged to find out newer ways to visualize the designs of CLO. 

Even though CLO is a very powerful software that has a very good simulating capability of the designer's clothes, and with continuous support and updates it keeps getting better, there are some obvious and tiring restrictions for repurposing the design to other platforms that are quite popular among general users. So, in the last few weeks, I have been making many designs and exporting them from CLO to many other platforms and solving technical problems to find out the ideal way to introduce the result of CLO or any other digital designing tools to the generic end-users. 

If you have read the title of the blog you have probably guessed where I have put my designs into. We have successfully developed clothes and created animations to mimic fashion ramp with some minor problems and took it to a VR world for you to see. If you are here during the Exit program on the 3rd of June you are welcome to try it out. You can also check them out online if you don't have access to a VR headset. As the purpose of this research was to take it to the regular people all over the world. Feel free to ask me for an invitation to the VR world if you want to check it out.
