The Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) has long focused on textile materials and manufacturing. Today, it is combining its expertise with AI, AIoT, and smart manufacturing to drive the industry’s digital transformation. In this episode, we explore how these technologies are making Taiwan’s textile industry smarter, more efficient, and more innovative. Discover how AI optimizes yarn sizing, preserves and imitates the expertise of experienced technicians, and improves production efficiency. We’ll also explore how digital twins predict process changes, augmented reality (AR) assists dyeing machine operations, and MES Flow simplifies manufacturing management. Beyond the production line, we’ll look at how on-premises large language models (LLMs) help companies leverage their own data for smarter decision-making and workflow automation. We’ll also examine how vision-language models (VLMs) identify the reasons behind fabric defects and how to fix any issues in order to provide enhanced quality. Through insights from a TTRI expert, discover how the technological transformation of a traditionally established industry is creating new possibilities for Taiwan’s textile manufacturing sector.
