Data science is continuously changing the fashion industry by gathering data, processing it, identifying it, and analyzing it to turn it into information, suggesting actionable insights.
AI can access and collect historical and operational information in real-time and provide insight that can enhance operational efficiency. AI is also being used to develop more efficient manufacturing processes. By using AI to analyze data from manufacturing plants, engineers can identify ways to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Global Fashion Brand’s quality inspection of garments entails checking for defects in the garment manually by a quality inspector. If defects are found in a finished garment, the defect must be logged manually in the quality inspection mobile application. The defect logging process takes time to complete an audit which leads to inefficiency.
A computer vision model was built to identify the type of defect and highlight the defected area on the garment. The model is integrated within the quality inspection mobile application. The model has automated the defect logging process by detecting the defect automatically and prefilling existing fields based on output from the model.
This model has reduced the defect logging process by half i.e., if one audit logging process took 60 seconds, it will now take 30 seconds.
