Texora

AI-powered fabric inspection

Every metre of fabric, inspected by AI.

Texora is building a computer vision system that watches fabric as it runs through the inspection machine and flags defects for the inspector, automatically.

The problem

Fabric inspection still depends on the human eye.

In most mills, quality control means a person watching fabric move past a light table for hours at a time. It is demanding work, and its limits are well known.

  • Inconsistent

    Results vary with the inspector, the shift and the level of fatigue. The same roll can be graded differently on different days.

  • Slow and costly

    Inspection speed is capped by what a person can reliably see, and experienced inspectors take a long time to train.

  • Found too late

    A defect missed at the mill travels downstream, where it turns into wasted material, rework and customer claims.

How it works

A second pair of eyes that never tires.

Texora adds a camera and AI to the inspection step. The inspector stays in charge, and the system makes sure nothing passes unseen.

  1. 01

    Capture

    A camera unit on the inspection machine images the fabric continuously as the roll runs.

  2. 02

    Detect

    AI vision models analyse the images and flag areas that do not look like sound fabric.

  3. 03

    Review

    The inspector sees each flagged location on screen and confirms or dismisses it.

  4. 04

    Report

    Each roll ends with a defect report, giving a consistent record of what was found and where.

What it looks for

Designed for the defects that matter on the roll.

The system is being developed to flag visible fabric faults such as:

  • Holes and tears
  • Stains and soiling
  • Missing or broken yarns
  • Structural irregularities
  • Foreign matter

This is our development target, not a list of validated capabilities. Coverage will be confirmed fabric by fabric as we test with real production material.

Where we are

Early stage, and looking for pilot partners.

Texora is an early-stage company. We have a working prototype on our test bench, and the system is not yet running in a production mill.

We are looking for textile mills and fabric producers who want to help shape the product by piloting it on their own inspection lines.
