Fabric Vision
Automated visual inspection for woven fabric that finds defects, guides each fix and grades every roll.
The challenge
Manual inspection of woven fabric is slow, labor-heavy and only as consistent as the inspector on shift. Our client wanted inspection that was faster, cheaper to run and more reliable.
What we built
An automatic quality-inspection system built on our custom computer-vision pipeline. A camera scans the fabric as it runs over the inspection board; the system detects defects and records exactly where each one is.
When a defect is found
- If it can be fixed by hand, the fabric feeder stops automatically.
- The machine’s status light comes on and the inspector’s handheld device shows which inspection board needs them.
- Once the fix is made, the system confirms it and restarts the feeder.
Every roll graded
At the end of each roll, a digital grading report records the roll’s total length and the start and end point of every defective section.
