Machine learning and AI are being used in several areas of the textiles and garments industry: 1) Fabric inspection tools use image recognition to automatically check fabrics for defects in real-time, reducing waste. 2) 3D body scanners create virtual mannequins from body measurements to allow for personalized fit and styles. 3) Designs can be translated into automated instructions for computer-controlled machines to select fabrics, cut, and sew garments, providing personalized tailoring at scale. 4) Data on styles, fits and sizes allows brands to tailor their offerings to micro-population groups.
