A.T.E. Enterprises Private Limited has joined hands with 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 introduce Smartex AI’s technologies to the Indian textile industry. The collaboration aims to help manufacturers strengthen quality assurance, monitor production performance and advance factory digitalisation.
As textile manufacturing moves towards automation and data-driven operations, consistent fabric quality and real-time production information are becoming increasingly important. To address these needs, Smartex AI combines artificial intelligence and machine learning with fabric inspection and digital monitoring technologies.
AI-powered fabric inspection detects defects in real time
The Smartex AI system uses high-resolution cameras, sensors and advanced light analysis to identify fabric defects and irregularities during production.
The technology supports the inspection of both knitted and woven fabrics. By detecting defects in real time, it can help manufacturers improve quality monitoring and identify production issues more quickly.
In addition, Smartex AI offers a digital factory management platform that provides visibility into production output, machine productivity and quality-related information. This data helps manufacturers monitor operations and make more informed decisions.
A.T.E. expands its textile technology portfolio
For A.T.E., the partnership represents another step in expanding its range of technology solutions for the textile industry.
The company has an established presence across the textile value chain and experience in introducing international technologies to Indian manufacturers. Therefore, it will use its industry network and market presence to make Smartex AI’s solutions accessible to textile mills seeking better quality control and operational efficiency.
The collaboration also supports the growing demand for digital tools that connect fabric inspection with wider factory performance monitoring.
Live demonstrations of Smartex AI technology
Textile manufacturers can visit the A.T.E. booth at H1-A5 to explore Smartex AI’s fabric inspection technology.
Visitors can interact with product specialists, watch live demonstrations and experience the system’s real-time fabric inspection capabilities.
Supporting the digital transformation of textile manufacturing
AI-based inspection and digital factory management are becoming important tools for textile manufacturers seeking greater production visibility and consistent quality.
By combining Smartex AI’s technology expertise with A.T.E.’s industry presence in India, the partnership aims to support manufacturers as they adopt digital solutions across their operations.
