The study develops an architecture, a unified information model, and computational algorithms for
an integrated system connecting parametric garment pattern design, three-dimensional virtual fitting, and automated
technological preparation of apparel production. The proposed digital thread preserves persistent identifiers for pattern
pieces, edges, seams, materials, and manufacturing operations. The pattern is represented as an attributed graph; paired
edges are constrained geometrically and enriched with technological attributes. A rule-based transformation generates
sewing operations, equipment requirements, processing times, and precedence relations based on seam type, stitch class,
material properties, edge length, and quality requirements. A priority-list heuristic with local improvement is used to balance
the production line and reduce equipment-type changeovers. The computational experiment used a synthetic dataset of 48
blouse, dress, and jacket variants comprising 512 paired edges and an average of 37.7 operations per item. The mean edge
mismatch decreased from 2.76 to 0.12 mm, the line-balance coefficient increased from 0.769 to 0.907, the estimated cycle
time decreased by 17.0%, and equipment-type changeovers decreased by 22.0%. The contribution is a formal end-to-end
mapping from anthropometry and geometry to seams, operations, and manufacturing routes within a single object-graph
model. The approach can support CAD/CAM/PLM modules, garment digital twins, and technology planning for customized
and small-batch apparel production.
