The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®) is pleased to welcome Esenca Sizing as an exhibitor at the PCIAW® Summit, Exhibition & Awards 2026, taking place at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London on 21–22 October.
Specialising in AI-powered body measurement technology for workwear, uniforms, PPE and medical garments, Esenca Sizing will demonstrate how accurate sizing can improve garment fit, streamline uniform management and significantly reduce avoidable textile waste.
Visitors to the Esenca Sizing stand will have the opportunity to experience the company’s technology first-hand, including live smartphone body scanning, automated size recommendations and digital tools designed to support more efficient uniform programmes.
Experience AI-powered sizing in action
One of the highlights of Esenca Sizing’s exhibition presence will be its live smartphone body scanning demonstration.
Using a standard smartphone, employees can complete a scan without dedicated scanning hardware or traditional fitting appointments.
The technology generates body measurements and provides size recommendations calibrated to the customer’s actual garment collections rather than relying on generic sizing charts.
Visitors will be able to try the scanning process themselves and receive their measurements and recommended garment size within minutes.
The platform supports more than 100 body dimensions, alongside dedicated hand and foot measurement solutions. Available in 21 languages, it also offers offline functionality for organisations operating across remote or distributed locations.
Tackling the two causes of poor garment fit
Esenca Sizing approaches garment fit through two fundamental questions: does a suitable size exist within the available range, and is each employee being assigned the correct size?
Many sizing solutions concentrate primarily on assigning employees to existing garment sizes.
However, even the most accurate measurement process cannot deliver a satisfactory fit if the available size range does not adequately represent the workforce.
Esenca Sizing addresses both challenges through its measurement technology and anthropometric studies, analysing workforce body data to identify gaps within existing size charts.
These insights can help organisations adjust garment grading, determine appropriate size ranges and improve the fit of uniforms for diverse workforce populations, including women who may be poorly served by traditional unisex sizing systems.
For businesses preparing a uniform redesign or procurement tender, this creates an opportunity to make more informed decisions before garments enter production.
Auditing how garments actually fit
Esenca Sizing will also introduce its Garment Audit service, which evaluates how an organisation’s existing garments fit the people wearing them. By comparing workforce measurements with the actual dimensions of each garment and size chart, the audit shows where fit problems come from: a size that is missing from the range, a grading issue, or garments being assigned incorrectly. Organisations get a clear, data-based view of their current uniform programme, which they can use to correct size charts, brief manufacturers and set requirements ahead of a redesign or tender.
From employee scan to final order
At the Summit, Esenca Sizing will also showcase its Fit Management Platform, demonstrating how digital sizing can connect with wider uniform programme operations.
The platform brings together employee scans, size charts, garment collections, recommendations and product information within a centralised system.
By integrating with existing internal systems, it supports a more automated process from initial measurement through to garment ordering.
The platform also supports stock prediction, helping organisations better understand future garment requirements and reduce unnecessary inventory.
For large uniform programmes serving geographically dispersed workforces, these capabilities can reduce administrative complexity while improving the consistency and accuracy of garment allocation.
Preventing textile waste before production
Incorrectly sized garments represent a significant but often overlooked source of waste within professional clothing.
Unlike conventional retail clothing, workwear and uniforms are frequently customised with corporate branding, employee names or specialist technical requirements.
When these garments are returned because of poor fit, they can be difficult to reassign, resell or recycle.
Esenca Sizing believes that preventing unnecessary garments from being produced or ordered in the first place is an important part of creating more sustainable uniform programmes.
By improving sizing accuracy and using workforce data to guide production volumes, organisations can reduce avoidable returns, unnecessary stock and the resources associated with manufacturing garments that may never be worn.
Launching a new sustainability white paper
A key feature of Esenca Sizing’s participation will be the launch of its sustainability white paper at the PCIAW® Summit 2026.
The research will examine how improvements in sizing accuracy can reduce the number of incorrectly sized garments entering professional clothing programmes.
It will also quantify the lifecycle resources associated with those avoided garments, connecting sizing performance with wider environmental considerations.
For uniform buyers, manufacturers and textile service providers, the findings aim to provide a clearer understanding of how sizing decisions can influence both operational efficiency and environmental impact.
Supporting complex uniform programmes
Esenca Sizing’s technology is designed for businesses managing demanding garment requirements across large or distributed workforces.
Its solutions are particularly relevant to uniform rental and laundry providers, workwear and PPE manufacturers, corporate uniform programmes and medical garment manufacturers.
Sectors including aviation, logistics, healthcare and hospitality can benefit from more accurate sizing, particularly where large numbers of employees require consistent garment allocation across multiple locations.
The technology can also support organisations preparing to redesign their uniform collections or evaluate sizing requirements ahead of a new tender.
Discover Esenca Sizing at the PCIAW® Summit 2026
Esenca Sizing’s exhibition presence directly reflects the wider Summit theme, “The Implementation Phase.”
As the professional clothing industry looks for practical ways to improve sustainability, reduce waste and strengthen operational efficiency, accurate sizing offers an opportunity to address these challenges before garments are manufactured or distributed.
Visitors will be able to experience the company’s scanning technology, explore its Fit Management Platform and discover how anthropometric data can support better garment design and procurement decisions.
Attendees can also hear from Eduard Cojocea, Co-founder and CTO of Esenca Sizing, who will present “Precision Before Production: Reducing Overproduction Through Accurate Sizing” during the Summit.
Meet Esenca Sizing at the PCIAW® Summit, Exhibition & Awards 2026, taking place at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, London, on 21–22 October 2026, and discover how better sizing can contribute to better-fitting garments, reduced waste and more efficient uniform programmes.
