Company Overview

Smartex is a technology company that develops hardware-enabled, machine-vision-driven software to address inefficiencies and waste in the textile industry. Its core products use artificial intelligence, high-resolution cameras, and sensors retrofitted onto existing textile machinery to detect defects in fabric in real-time. This automated inspection process allows for production to be halted immediately when flaws are found, significantly reducing textile waste, CO2 emissions, and the consumption of water and energy. The company offers a suite of tools, including Smartex CORE for automated quality control, Smartex FACT for digital factory management, and Smartex LOOP for fabric-roll level traceability, which together create a more transparent and sustainable supply chain. Founded in 2018, the company has received significant venture capital funding and serves textile manufacturers across Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa.
