High-wage countries are on the brink of change, due to social and technological effects. In this paper, we will first

Give an outlook on both these effects concerning the German textile industry. Second, we will shortly describe the

Interdisciplinary build-up of our research group which influences the way how we address our research issues.

Finally, we will outline two prototypical applications that serve as demonstrators for further user tests and

Subsequent developments.
