As AI accelerates its adoption in manufacturing, Indonesia’s garment industry is entering a critical phase of transformation. Since its launch in February, HIKARI’s intelligent sewing solutions — including the H9VⅢ lockstitch machine and HT92V double-needle machine — have quickly gained market attention as key enablers of industrial upgrading.
Technology Recognized by Industry
With enhanced efficiency, stability, and AI-powered real-time applications, the new solutions address long-standing challenges such as quality inconsistency and production inefficiencies. Local manufacturers noted that the technology improves product quality while reducing costs and labor dependence, aligning with Indonesia’s shift toward higher-value manufacturing.
Strong Media Exposure Amplifies Impact
The launch received wide coverage from major Indonesian media, including ANTARA News, Tribun News, iNews, IDN Times, and Metro TV, forming a multi-platform communication network that significantly boosted HIKARI’s market visibility.
From Interest to Implementation
Following the launch, several leading garment manufacturers have moved into in-depth technical evaluations and customized solution discussions, focusing on production integration and ROI analysis.
“We are not only looking at the machine itself, but whether it can solve real production bottlenecks,” said a production director from a garment company in Semarang.
With some companies already progressing toward implementation, the first batch of scaled applications is expected within the year.
Scaling with Localized Support
HIKARI is now advancing local partnerships and service capabilities to support large-scale adoption, aiming to accelerate the shift toward intelligent manufacturing across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
