ConductVision Textile is designed for textile mills and works with the cameras your mill already runs. It can mark defects in video of your fabric inspection frame and flag safety problems on your mill floor. In garment plants, laundries and textile recycling, ConductVision can flag safety problems and check finished goods. A person on your team reviews every flag.

A maker of woven fabric for fashion posted the challenge on InoCrowd. It asked how much each stage, from raw fiber to finishing, affects pilling.
See holes, loose threads and uneven weave up close, then follow an inspection through defect maps, points and forecast ranges.
Explore the example data →The film shows six fabric defects with outlines: holes, loose threads, yarn buildup, looped yarn, uneven weave and line faults. A hole measures about two centimetres across. Size helps set the points, and the saved image stays with the finding.
In the illustrative inspection, half of the 20 defects appear between 60 and 80 metres. The defects add up to 30 points. The inspected fabric is 100 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, covering 150 square metres. That gives a score of 20 points per 100 square metres, against an example buyer limit of 40.
One illustrative forecast ranges from 20 to 30, below the limit. Another ranges from 30 to 50, crossing the limit and prompting a review before grading. The inspector confirms the grade. The film closes with an invitation to plan a pilot. It has instrumental music and no spoken narration.

Patent pending
Our product for textile mills has two jobs. In video of your inspection frame it can mark fabric defects, count each roll's points and forecast its final points. On the mill floor it can flag safety problems for your team to review. Records and clips stay on your network.
ConductVision can also grade pilling and measure fiber diameter from images of lab samples. Those tests are on conductscience.com.
See lab testingWe start with video you already have and agree with your team on one thing to test, such as one fabric on one inspection frame, or one hazard in one area of the floor.
Tell us which cameras you have and what you want them to watch for.
