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.

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.
