The Advantages of AI Visual Inspection System

1. Precision of Inspection:

Our cutting-edge system boasts an astounding accuracy of 0.1mm, which can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. This guarantees that even the most minuscule imperfections will not elude our advanced detection mechanisms, offering you complete peace of mind.

2. Unmatched Detection Rate:

Traditional manual fabric defect inspections could only achieve a maximum detection rate of 90%. In contrast, our AI Automated Visual Inspection System excels with a remarkable 95% defect detection rate. Its continuous learning capabilities enable it to enhance defect identification processes and optimize flaw detection, providing you with unparalleled quality control.

3. Unprecedented Inspection Speed:

The inspection speed of our system depends on the applied machine types and camera numbers. Typically, a human inspector can reach a speed of 10-15m per minute. However, with ST-Thinkor's AI Automated Visual Inspection System, customers have the flexibility to choose the ideal cloth inspection speed to meet their specific needs. Equipped with state-of-the-art 50-megapixel high-speed cameras, our system offers exceptional imaging capabilities, enabling fully automated inspections at speeds of up to 150 mm/min. Furthermore, with 24-hour real-time monitoring, you can be confident that every inch of your fabric undergoes a thorough inspection.

4. Camera Configuration:

To ensure optimal performance, we provide a precise number of high-speed cameras tailored to the fabric width and desired inspection accuracy. For instance, a 1.5m wide fabric can be effectively covered by four high-speed cameras, enabling fully automated inspection with a remarkable accuracy of 0.4mm, all while maintaining a swift speed of 60m/min. As you increase the number of cameras, you unlock even greater inspection speeds and enhanced accuracy, providing unparalleled control over the inspection process.

5. Seamless ERP/Mess Integration:

Our system seamlessly integrates with industry-leading factory management software, including ERP and MESS. This integration offers a seamless synergy between our product and these advanced management tools. You gain access to comprehensive management features that effortlessly display coordinates and defect images. By incorporating this valuable data into a fabric defects map, our solution optimizes cutting processes and significantly enhances overall performance. It is the ultimate choice for any textile production line, elevating your quality control to new heights.

Trend 4: E-commerce and Digitalization Transformation

The adoption of e-commerce platforms enables Bangladesh's apparel industry to embrace a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model, eliminating intermediaries and establishing direct connections with end consumers. This shift grants manufacturers greater control over branding, pricing, and customer relationships. Through effective digital marketing strategies, businesses can enhance visibility, build a strong brand image, and cultivate consumer trust and loyalty.

Trend 5: Diversified Exploration and High-Value Products

Manufacturers in Bangladesh are moving beyond low-cost mass production, exploring high-value segments such as customization and niche products. This strategic shift allows Bangladesh to meet diverse market needs, creating a more sustainable and resilient industry. Diversification involves expanding product lines to include high-end fashion, sportswear, athleisure, and sustainable fashion, mitigating risks associated with reliance on a single market or product.

Challenges and Opportunities

While opportunities abound, challenges persist, with infrastructure remaining a critical concern for the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry. Strengthening transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure is imperative for the industry's future prosperity.

Advanced suppliers in Bangladesh stand to benefit from increased flexibility, productivity, digitalization, environmental sustainability, worker welfare, and innovation. Embracing these trends positions Bangladesh as a key player in the global textile landscape, fostering growth and sustainability in the evolving industry.
