I co-founded Smartex, a company that is using Artificial Intelligence to solve one of the main problems in the Textile Industry: the production of defects in textiles.Every year, defective production is responsible for the loss of more than US$33B in raw materials. Smartex technology consists of a fault detection system that can be easily plugged into Circular Knitting Machines, collecting images from the output fabric, which are analyzed by robust AI models that can detect defective fabric and act on the machine to avoid it.
