Apparel meets Digital Excellence: Laguna India leads the way for smarter, faster, and safer manufacturing | Ciel Textile Website
In the world of smart manufacturing, digital transformation is no longer a luxury. It’s a necessity.
At Laguna India, a company of CIEL Textile, we’re rethinking what it means to be an apparel manufacturer by building a smarter, faster, and more resilient organization. And it all starts with a bold vision: using technology not just to improve machines, but to empower people and drive meaningful change.
In this blog, we unpack the five key pillars of the CIEL Textile IT Strategy that are powering our digital journey. From building a data-first culture to bridging the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) and choosing tools that solve real problems—it's about transforming with intent, every step of the way.
Here’s how we’re making it happen:
1. Building a data-driven culture
Why guess when you can know? At Laguna India, data is the new fuel. Teams across product development, supply chains, marketing, HR, and production are making faster and smarter decisions thanks to real-time analysis.
This isn’t just about having dashboards or reports. It’s about building a company mindset where decisions are backed by real-time data, and every team is empowered to act on insights. A strong data-first culture helps us optimize processes, reduce waste, and deliver better value to our customers around the world.
2. Driving smart automation
We’re bringing together IoT, AI, robotics, and automation to make our operations smarter and more responsive. These technologies help us move from traditional workflows to predictive and adaptive systems that respond to real-world changes in real time.
Smart automation isn’t just about efficiency or cutting costs. It’s about being more agile in a volatile global market. Smart automation helps the company respond quickly, stay flexible, and keep a competitive edge.
3. Putting People at the core
Digital transformation is about people first. Digital tools are only as powerful as the people using them. That’s why we’re investing in upskilling and training programs to prepare a future-ready talent pipeline, one that blends technical skills with problem-solving, collaboration, and continuous learning.
We want our people to grow alongside our systems. Because the best systems are only as good as the people behind them. That’s the only way transformation becomes sustainable.
4. Making Cybersecurity a top priority
More digital tools mean more digital risks. As we scale our digital capabilities, we’re also scaling our defenses. Industrial systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, and cyber resilience is now non-negotiable.
We’ve implemented AI-powered threat detection and response to secure our infrastructure; while ensuring we remain fully compliant with industry regulations. For us, cybersecurity is not just an IT concern, it’s a business priority.
5. Choosing the right technology, not just the latest
Every tool at Laguna India is picked with purpose. With an AI-first approach, we’re standardizing tools and platforms across the business to increase compatibility, reduce complexity, and future-proof our investments.
Because true innovation is not about using the most cutting-edge tools; it’s about using the right ones which solve real problems.
The future is now
At Laguna India, we’re not just digitizing, we’re transforming, with a strong digital backbone. We’re creating smart factories where machines talk to each other, people are empowered by data, and technology is aligned with business goals.
This journey is far from over, but our direction is clear: we believe that the future is not just about tech; it’s about transformation that lasts… and we’re building a manufacturing future that’s intelligent, secure, and deeply human.
