Warehouse

Warehousing is one of the important auxiliaries to trade. It creates time utility by bridging the
time gap between production and consumption of goods.

Warehousing can be defined by three functions: receiving goods from a source; storing goods until they are needed by a customer (internal or external); retrieving the goods when requested.

Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.

Warehousing minimizes the effects of supply chain inefficiencies, improves logistics accuracy and inventory management, and allows product accumulation, consolidation, and customization.

Afforestation

Afforestation is the establishment of tree plantations on land that has not previously been managed for forests. Emphasis is placed on maximizing the use of available land and resources with high yield tree species.
Trees can either be of similar species or mixed in a manner that will result in a stand or forest.
Plantings may be seeds, seedlings, or semi-mature trees.
Trees reduce runoff volume through evapotranspiration and interception and improve the infiltration capacity of the soil, thereby reducing runoff potential.

Ozone Generator

Ozone is a tri-oxygen molecules that acts as powerful disinfecting and deodorizing gas. Due to its strong oxidizing nature ozone is used in various water treatment processes. For industrial applications, ozone generator is used for producing ozone.

An ozone generator is basically an electrical machine, which transforms electrical energy into chemical energy and heat.

The increasing demand for ozone makes it necessary to improve the capacity and efficiency of ozone generators. Ozone is used widely for sterilization and substituting oxidizing materials, and that, directly or indirectly, means hazardous pollution to the environment.

Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in the world and its function is to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors.

Label-Manufacturing

Labels hold a primary position in the identification of items. Labels are used for the identification and differentiation of products, both raw and finished.

The labels carry extra information. For example, they may show quality symbols for the fabric the product is made from, such as wool, silk or cotton, or it could be an eco-label.

The total global value of exports of labels is more than $627 million2. Korea is the largest exporting country with a share of 25.9% and a total value of $162 million.

USA is the second largest exporting country having a share of 11.5% and a total value of $72 million.

A watermarking system for embedding textile care labels directly onto fabric design is proposed, and its stochastic properties are analyzed.

Tyres

A tyre is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground.Tyres are one of the most important parts of your vehicle.
They affect how well it handles on the road and your fuel consumption.The Indian tyre industry produces tyres for trucks, buses, passenger cars, jeeps, light trucks, tractors, animal drawn vehicles, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, off-the-road vehicles and special defense vehicles.

Handloom Textiles

Handloom industry is the most important source of employment generation in rural areas after agriculture itself.Handloom Textile Weaving includes shawl making, yarn spinning, Khadi weaving and related tasks. Weaving is an act of passing threads or strands of material under and over each other.
Handloom weaving in India is still largely a household enterprise, as well as being predominantly a rural activity (with the exception of Maharashtra), providing employment to the largest number of people next only to agriculture.

Methylated Spirit

Methylated Spirits (or Denatured alcohol) is ethanol that has additives to make it more poisonous or unpalatable, and thus, undrinkable.

Uses for methylated spirits.

- It's great as a glass cleaner! If you're going to use it in hot conditions, dilute it with water.
- In fuel stoves - methylated spirits burns very cleanly; a little too cleanly in fact as it can be hard to see the flame etc,.

Commercial-Embroidery

Machine embroidery is a process whereby a sewing machine or embroidery machine is used to create patterns on textiles.

There are two main types of machine embroidery. The first, free-motion sewing machine embroidery, uses a basic zigzag sewing machine. The second, computerized machine embroidery, uses an embroidery machine or sewing/embroidery machine.

There are two things needed to keep embroidery from puckering and shrinking over time. First is the selection of garment itself. Also pique fabrics.

Highly durable, flexible, and even washable multilayer electronic circuitry can be constructed on textile substrates, using conductive yarns and suitably packaged components for the development of e-broidery as a means of creating computationally active textiles.

School Uniform

A school uniform is an outfit—a set of standardized clothes—worn primarily for an educational institution. Uniform is an excellent source to control and minimize fights and quarrels at school. Children following the same dress code won’t tease their class fellows for not wearing up to date and trendy fashionable clothes.
A large portion of the school uniform retail market is unorganised and fragmented compared to the uniform market internationally where organised retail brands have a strong presence.

Garment-Stitching

Garment is a basic need for every human being.

A clear complete demonstration of three basic hand Stitches used when making a garment explains the basting stitch, catch stitch, and thread tracing.

The clusters of garments stitching industry exist predominantly in Lahore, Karachi, Sialkot and Faisalabad.

Indonesia is developing a reputation and a market niche for high-end, higher-quality garments.

Demand for embellished garments—ones distinguished by hand embroidery, special printing, destructive washing, etc.—is high in the United States, Europe, Japan, and other developed markets.

Fabric Dyeing and Finishing Unit

Dyeing is the process of imparting colors to a textile material through a dye (colour).
Colour is applied to fabric by different methods of dyeing for different types of fiber and at different stages of the textile production process. 
The demand for processed fabric is rising in accordance with the increase in production and export of value added products i.e. apparels and made-ups.At present, cotton constitutes 78 percent of the total fibre consumed by the textile industries. There is demand for cotton dyeing units as the consumption of cotton textiles has increased .

Cotton-Towel-Manufacturing

Bath towels are woven pieces of fabric either cotton or cotton-polyester that are used to absorb moisture on the body after bathing.

Towels constructed with loops of thick yarns are more absorbent.

Drying ability is also measured by a towel’s thickness.

Towels can be piece dyed or yarn dyed

The reusable cotton towels hotspot is the laundering process (heat, soap and electricity), with around 54% of the environmental load.

Collar-Knitting

Collar knitting is directly related to knitted T-shirts.

Collar knitting requires specialized machinery (flat bed collar knitting machines) which all the manufacturers of T-shirts can not afford to buy.

USA is the largest importing country with a share of 29% and a total value of $7.4 billion.

Germany is the second largest importer in this category with imports of $4.5 billion.

Japan is the third largest importer with total imports of $3.8 billion.

Zinc Recycling

Zinc is the 27th most common element in the earth's crust. More importantly, zinc is fully recyclable. Zinc can be recycled indefinitely - without loss of its physical or chemical properties.

Approximately 60% of the zinc produced worldwide originates from mined ores and the remaining 40% from recycled or secondary zinc. The level of recycling increases each year, in step with progress in zinc production and recycling technology.

Zinc is recycled at all stages of production and use, including scrap that arises during the production of galvanized steel sheet, scrap generated during manufacturing and installation processes and from end-of-life products.

Brandy

The word Brandy comes from the Dutch word brandewijn, ("burnt wine"), which is how the straightforward Dutch traders who introduced it to Northern Europe from Southern France and Spain in the 16th century described wine that had been "burnt," or boiled, in order to distill it.

Brandy, like Rum and Tequila, is an agricultural spirit. Unlike grain spirits such as Whisky, Vodka, and Gin, which are made throughout the year from grain that can be harvested and stored, Brandy is dependent on the seasons, the ripening of the base fruit, and the production of the wine from which it is made.

Cognac is the best known type of Brandy in the world, a benchmark by which most other Brandies are judged.

Bed-Linen-Stitching

Bed Linen is an important value-added sub-sector of textile sector. Bed Linen products include bed sheets, pillow covers, quilts, etc.

China is the main exporter of bed Linen. Pakistan which had the second largest share.

USA. has been the biggest importer of Bed Linen and Germany was second.

The clusters of Bed Linen stitching industry exist predominantly in Karachi, Faisalabad, Lahore and Multan. Most of the Bed Linen manufacturers are based in these major cities.

World trade of bed wear & linens is reported under different SITC codes

Viscose-Fibers

Viscose fabric is a type of hybrid nylon fabric. Viscose is used to make nylon and cellophane. Many jackets and outwear clothing are made of Viscose.

Rayon is the oldest commercial manmade fiber. The U. S. Trade Commission defines rayon as "manmade textile fibers and filaments composed of regenerated cellulose"

China is by far the largest exporter of grey viscose fabrics, followed by Indonesia.

The world viscose staple fiber (VSF) production and demand has been shown to decline over the last several years worldwide. However, when the eastern European and former Soviet Union countries are excluded from this analysis, world VSF production and demand have actually
Increased at a reasonable rate over the last several years .

Fabric Weaving

Weaving is the interlacing of yarns in a regular order to create a fabric . Weaving sector is comprised of two types of setups. One is the organized mill sector and the other is the unorganized non-mill sector. The non-mill-weaving sector, which is also called the Auto/Power Loom sector, supplies the majority of the fabric in the country.
Weaving sector is one of the most important textile sub-sectors. The exports of woven fabrics and other woven made ups comprise a major portion of textile exports from Pakistan.The world demand for textiles is rising at around 2.5% , due to which there is a greater opportunity for rise in exports from Pakistan.

Copper slag is one of the materials that is considered as a waste material which could have a promising future in construction industry as partial substitute of either cement or aggregates.

Copper slag is widely used as an abrasive media to remove rust, old coating and other impurities in dry abrasive blasting due to its high hardness, high density and low free silica content.


Synthetic-Cells

A chemically synthesised chromosome has for the first time been transplanted into a cell to produce a synthetic bacterium.

The creation of the synthetic cell is part of an effort to design a "minimal cell" containing only the most basic genome required for life.

Using a computer analogy, one can think of a cell’s cytoplasm as the hardware and the genome as the operating system. A synthetic cell is created by synthesizing a genome and installing it into a recipient cytoplasm.

Biology, an emerging engineering discipline to program cell behaviors as easily as we program computers.

Synthetic biology will improve our quantitative understanding of natural biological processes and will also have biotechnology applications in areas such as biosensing, synthesis of pharmaceutical products, molecular fabrication of biomaterials and nanostructures, and tissue engineering.
