Fabric inspection

Fabric inspection (or fabric checking) is an essential quality control evaluation of textile manufacturing. Fabric inspection takes place at various stages of manufacturing, including intermediate and final. [1]

Procedure

Various methods are selected in fabric inspection, including inspection on a flat table or a fabric inspection machine. In-house or third-party inspectors can do the job.

Visual Inspection and grading

Most mills use their customized inspection standards but commonly used is the point system. It is a widely accepted system of fabric inspection as it is based on penalty points.[2][3] For example standard test methods for visually inspecting and grading fabrics (ASTM D5430)[4] and four point system.

Computerized Inspection

The fabric inspection machine is equipped with lights and a table enabled with guide rollers that help the inspector or a fabric checker observe every yard.

Manual and computerized inspection are both used.[5][6][7]

Artificial Intelligence based fabric inspection

Artificial intelligence based fabric inspection systems are being developed.[8][9]
