A.T.E. Enterprises Private Limited has joined hands Smartex AI, a Portugal-based technology company specialising in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered fabric inspection and digital factory management solutions.
Through this partnership, A.T.E. will promote Smartex AI’s solutions to the Indian textile industry, supporting manufacturers in strengthening quality control, improving production visibility, and advancing factory digitalisation.
As textile manufacturing evolves towards greater automation and data-driven operations, consistent fabric quality and access to real-time production information are becoming increasingly important. Smartex AI addresses these needs through AI and machine learning-based inspection technology that identifies fabric defects in both knits and woven fabrics in real time, along with digital tools that provide visibility into production performance and quality.
The Smartex AI system uses high-resolution cameras, sensors, and advanced light analysis to detect fabric defects and irregularities during production. Its digital factory management platform enables manufacturers to monitor production output, machine productivity, and quality-related information, supporting more informed operational decisions.
For A.T.E., the partnership represents a further step in expanding its portfolio of technology solutions for the textile industry. With its established presence across the textile value chain and experience in introducing global technologies to Indian manufacturers, A.T.E. will work towards making these solutions accessible to textile mills seeking to strengthen quality assurance and operational efficiency.
