The objectiveCariaggi lanificio spa is a top quality yarn producer in Cagli (PU, Italy), with a turnover of about 100M€ and 260 employees; its specialities are yarn made of worsted and woollen cashmere yarns, mainly for knitwear productions that sells to international top level brands (like Prada, Hermes, Ralp Laureen, Loro Piana, Calzedonia, ...). The yarn production in Cariaggi shows a seasonal pattern and there is a period when the plant capacity is saturated and any new short-term order requires a production planning with finite capacity, even for the operations that are outsourced, and often a renegotiation of the delivery dates, depending on the needs and priorities of the market and on the company’s policies. The objective of Cariaggi and the IPSA consortium has been, USING eBIZ, to build a tool for the interoperability of the supply-chain able to display in real time the production planning and activities at the subcontractor’s plant as they were part of the company’s information system, so to enable flexible and continuous monitoring and rescheduling of the production processes. Involved firmsFerrini S.r.l is an industrial dyer located in Torgiano (PG, Italy), with a turnover of about 3M€ and 34 employees, subcontractor of Cariaggi. Cariaggi is a key member of the IPSA Consortium jointly with Tintoria Ferrini (yarn dyeing) , Gruppo Colle (fiber dyeing in Prato) and Filatura Lama (spinning mill in Biella) aiming to innovate the supply chain with a common IT solution for eSupply Chain Execution.

eBusiness is based on digital data and documents exchanged between IT systems of firms.
The current eBIZ Reference Architecture has a chapter dedicated to RFID technology adoption.
'If I have sell-out data…'
In order to setup eBIZ you should, firstly, identify the collaboration processes that have to be implemented prioritarily. Later, through the Reference Architecture of eBIZ, the job of the IT manager to adapt the company information system to eBIZ is facilitated.
ENEA CROSS-TEC laboratory aims to support firms in new technologies adoption.
Launched by European Commission, eBIZ-TCF project (2008-2010) was co-ordinated by EURATEX (European Confederation of textile and apparel industry) with the support of CEC (European Confederation of footwear industry) and ENEA, and developed a Reference Architecture for data exchanges that is publicly available and based on the harmonisation of experiences and results from Moda-ML, Shoenet and GS1. Launched at CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) in 2012, CEN Workshop eBIZ is an European standardisation initiative, promoted by EURATEX with the support of ENEA, with the aim of improve eBIZ results and foster a more extended adoption in the fashion industry. The Workshop lasted for 18 months and was the opportunity for stakeholder to work jointly and propose new developments (for example to better support RFID usage). eBIZ 4.0 is an European COSME project, launched on December 2016 and addressing the joint adoption of eBIZ and RFID in the European supply chains. The project is based on three industrial pilots in Spain, Italy and France.
Since June 2013 the Reference Architecture, version 2.0, is available as CEN WS Agreement (CEN CWA 16667), up-to-date and supporting new market requirements, as identified
by an international experts group working in the framework of CEN.
