Textile industry is shifting towards automation due to manpower and quality challenges.
Fabric inspection company B-Tex's Auto-Cut-Pack systems transform traditional processes, resulting in increased fabric yield and reduced costs.
Their technology, which logs defects and optimises fabric, enhances production efficiency and real-time reporting.

Quality control is increasingly difficult due to manpower challenges and space constraints in global textile sector, and, therefore, automation provides a solution, streamlining operations to optimise manpower use, boost production, and facilitate more accurate reporting, according to Bhupinder Singh, CEO of B-Tex Textile Machinery, an India-based firm specialising in fabric inspection and make-up machinery for over 15 years.

“The textile industry is increasingly shifting towards automation due to challenges related to manpower reliability and quality control. B-Tex facilitates this shift by converting existing traditional cutting processes to automated Auto-Cut-Pack systems. These upgrades offer numerous advantages such as a 2-3 per cent increase in A-grade fabric yield and a 40 per cent reduction in manpower, space, and transportation costs. This not only enhances production but also decreases rejection rates,” Singh told Fibre2Fashion in an exclusive interview.

While talking about the latest advancements in fabric inspection technology, Singh told F2F: “Our Auto-Cut-Pack system includes fabric inspection capabilities that log defects in our Inspection and Grading Software (IGS). This system optimises the fabric based on defect severity, generating an efficient cutting plan. The data is then transferred to our Nirvana Auto-Cut-Pack machine for execution. IGS also enables real-time reporting, keeping our clients ahead of their competitors.”
