[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Custom-made suits delivered to consumers in just three days... A customized 'Suit Fashion Store' that combines fashion and information and communication technology (ICT) has appeared in Busan.

Busan City announced that on the 26th at 2 p.m., Parkland Co., Ltd.'s customized men's suit store, 'Personalized Clothing Production Speed Factore,' where suits can be ordered and produced in a one-stop process, will be unveiled.

This store integrates Parkland's production system, which allows ordering, manufacturing, and distribution all within a single store, with Busan's information and communication technology (ICT).

Speed Factore has dramatically shortened the production period for personalized suits from the existing 14 days to 3 days. The opening ceremony will be attended by Jeong Seung-il, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and Park Seong-hoon, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Busan City.

3D body scanners, 3D virtual clothing software (CLO), and AR fitting systems are utilized in clothing production.

Factore is a combination of factory and store, pursuing 'demand-driven customized product production' by receiving consumer orders in-store based on the automation of production processes in existing smart factories, while leveraging the B2C characteristics of the textile fashion industry.

The pilot personalized clothing production store was first opened in April last year under the name 'Within 24, Show your style!' in Dongdaemun, Seoul, and operated as a pilot. This year, the second store was opened at Parkland Banyeo Branch in Busan, led by the private sector.

At the event, seven university job seekers and interns from the Busan area will experience the virtual clothing production process and receive the ordered custom suits free of charge, with events prepared for actual consumers.

Jeong Seung-il, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, said, "As a pilot store of Speed Factore, I hope it will lead the future market of the domestic fashion industry by improving the manufacturing environment, increasing productivity, and spreading achievements such as job creation," adding, "We plan to discuss the direction of digital transformation in the clothing industry and promote its implementation."

Park Seong-hoon, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Busan City, said, "The Speed Factore pilot store is expected to greatly help prevent market invasion by low-priced Chinese products and contribute to the revival of the stagnant Busan textile fashion industry and the competitiveness improvement of related companies."
