A Reference Model for Customer-Oriented and Eco-Friendly Networks for Healthy Fashionable Goods

The EU project 'CoReNet' addresses needs and expectations for customisable functional and fashionable clothes and footwear of high quality, affordable price and eco-compatibility of a wide range of European citizens as well as specific target groups - such as elderly, obese, disabled, or diabetic persons. This will be achieved by the development of a new framework for Textile, Clothing and Footwear industry (TCFI) and related methods and tools for (co-)design, development, configuration, production, and distribution of the related small order quantities in collaborative networks, enabling to stay as long as digital and to produce on-demand. The aim of this paper is to describe one of the results of the project, which is the CoReNet Reference Model describing the structure and the related tools of collaborative networks.
