A leader in AI-powered textile technology, Smartex has achieved significant milestones in its mission to reduce waste and enhance efficiency in the textile industry. The company reported saving over 1.1 million kg of fabric, translating to a reduction of 8.1 billion liters of water, 6,739 tons of CO₂ emissions, and more than 24 million kw-hours of energy in Q2, FY25.

While knitting factories already see benefits from reduced fabric waste and defects, Smartex's recent projects have focused on the garment stage, where the financial impact is most significant. The results confirm, Smartex's technology consistently leads to more garments produced with less fabric, faster production with fewer accidents, and a more sustainable process with less waste.

Smartex is also increasing its global footprint and enhancing its technology to meet growing demand. The company is seeing a rising demand from textile factories in Asia for AI and automation solutions. To support this growth, Smartex has appointed Nik Wagner to lead its business expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, based in Hong Kong.

Smartex has continuously improved its AI models, which are now detecting a wider range of defect categories. The company has also launched a new feature that provides clients with real-time, dynamic reports powered by PowerBI, a highly requested tool for data-driven insights.

Smartex has released a major update to its system, making the interface significantly easier for factory operators to use. The new UI was designed with a minimalist approach, removing complex buttons and graphs to streamline the user experience.
