Fusing m/c is mostly used in apparel industry because of its wide variety of uses. It is used for adding interlining or fusible fabric to cut panel.
Placket, collar, facing, waist band, fly etc. garments parts need fusible fabric to add for increasing its strength or avoid friction of sewing.

Fusing m/c operators are considered as assistant operators or helpers. Optimization of assistant operator helps to increase efficiency as well as

reduce cost of making. Basically in a fusing m/c, helper feed cut panel on top interlining or by sandwiching them. M/c temperature, pressure is two important 
factor for proper functional balance.
Using folder attachment can make fusing m/c operation multi functional as well as helps to optimize MP. For example, For any bottom, it needs to add fusing 
both in fly & waist panel. In regular case may be two m/c used. Using of folder & roller feed system of interlining helps to do waist panel & fly operation at a time. Helpers need not to cut fusing once & place it to every waist panel & after completion need not to resize it again cutting. Other side of fusing m/c can be used for different types of work.These small but continuous changes helps to use the optimal use of workplace, m/c as well as manpower.
