Smartex

Smartex is a leading and award-winning hardware-based software company dedicated to developing advanced solutions and building essential tools for the modern textile factory. With a focus on AI-driven technology, Smartex empowers textile manufacturers to optimize operations, enhance quality control, boost sustainability, and streamline supply chain processes. We are revolutionizing the textile industry with our comprehensive suite of tools, including Smartex CORE and Smartex LOOP. These tools enable manufacturers to unlock their full potential and thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Smartex CORE, the foundation of the Smartex System, detects all relevant types of defects produced by Circular Knitting Machines (open-width and tubular) using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms & integrates into existing textile machinery with a seamless set of cameras and sensors. The system pairs with a comprehensive software platform for factory management, article management, digital twins of textile rolls produced, and more. Building upon the success of Smartex CORE, our AI-enabled automated quality control product, Smartex LOOP enables suppliers to take advantage of fabric-roll level data collection and revolutionize supply chain communication, as well as directly address the call from fashion brands for better supply chain data, marking a new era of transparency and collaboration. 

Smartex is dedicated to digitizing the textile industry by providing technical tools which will allow it to become more efficient, productive, and sustainable.

In den vergangenen Wochen hatte ich mich voll und ganz auf die Gründung von sbs.i (smart-business-services.international) konzentriert, mein eigenes Unternehmen, mit dem ich Dienstleistungen in den Bereichen Sales und Consulting anbiete. Meine Zielgruppe ist eine internationale Kundschaft, die in der DACH Region aktiv ist, bzw. aktiv werden möchte.

🔊Heute komme ich dazu Euch zu informieren, dass ich auch bereits einen ersten Kunden bzw. Partner gewinnen konnte: Seit Juli 2024 arbeite ich mit Smartex.ai zusammen, als offizieller Vertriebspartner Deutschland, Österreich und Schweiz.

✨ Smartex.ai ist ein Unternehmen, das mit seiner neuartigen Technologie den Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz in der textilen Lieferkette möglich macht. Die Technologie findet bereits in vielen Ländern große Beachtung und Anwendung und nun also der gemeinsame Start in der DACH Region.

Unser gemeinsames Ziel ist es, die neuartige Technologie und Smart Business Services zu kombinieren, um der textilen Lieferkette intelligente Lösungen bieten zu können. Damit wollen wir zur Verbesserung von Qualität und Produktivität in der Textilproduktion beitragen und vor allem zur Förderung von Transparenz und Nachhaltigkeit.

▶ Schaut Euch in der nachstehenden Präsentation an, wie das Smartex System funktioniert und welche Vorteile es mit sich bringt.

▶ Und hier noch die Funktionsweise im Überblick, Schritt für Schritt:

1. Die Smartex KI stoppt kontinuierliche Fehler in der Rundstrickmaschine und digitalisiert jede produzierte Rolle zu 100% ✔CORE

2. Die digitalisierten Rollen werden anhand der betrieblichen Qualitätsstandards automatisch klassifiziert ✔FACT

3. Qualitativ hochwertige Rollen können, ohne Umweg in die Warenschau, direkt zum Versand gebracht werden – dadurch fallen weniger Rollen an, die geprüft werden müssen. Diese können 10 mal schneller kontrolliert werden ✔ Fast-Track & Fast-Inspect

4. Ein unzerstörbares und scanfähiges Kennzeichnungssystem, mit dem die produzierten Rollen nach der Klassifizierung ausgestattet werden, führt zu Transparenz und Sicherheit in der Lieferkette ✔LOOP

Fazit: Smartex hilft die Qualität zu verbessern, die Produktivität zu steigern und sorgt nebenbei auch noch für Transparenz und mehr Nachhaltigkeit in der Lieferkette ✨🏭✔💜

The textile industry is looking a little brighter as the EU 🇪🇺 is pioneering a sustainable future for fashion with new regulations targeting circular design, transparency, and reduced microplastic impact. By 2030, fast fashion is set to be replaced by eco-friendly, recyclable products. Brands like Patagonia, Zara and Primark are already on board. 🙏🏼

Technologies like Smartex.ai are crucial to improve the textile industry by using AI to detect fabric defects and optimize production, reducing waste in factories while supporting brands in meeting these new standards. 💜

On Friday the 12th of July, Fashion for Good’s Investment Manager, Frans Jooste, attended Smartex.ai’s Investor Day in Porto, Portugal.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our innovator’s progress over the last 12 months, discuss strategies to tackle the year ahead and allow for the further strengthening of relationships between investors, company management and select strategic partners.

Some key takeaways:
✅ Reducing material defects at the knitting stage can provide significant cost and impact benefits to the textile supply chain
✅ Smartex’s various solutions can help integrate primary data capture and production efficiencies from thread to finished garment
✅ Collaboration between suppliers, that are not vertically integrated already, will be a key requirement in order to bring about real change 

We left the investor day inspired to keep driving the industry toward the implementation and scaling of these valuable solutions. Thank you @Smartex for the warm welcome and engaging discussions. It was great to see you all in person!
