threadBridge

threadBridge is a textile-technology company founded in 2023 in Bangladesh, built to reduce fabric waste and quality defects in garment manufacturing, an industry where manual inspection still misses a large share of flaws before cutting and sewing. The founding team combined textile industry experience with computer-vision engineering to target the specific problem of fabric-level defect detection on the production line.

The system pairs on-loom camera hardware and AI smart glasses worn by inspectors with an edge-computing unit that runs neural network models trained to recognize weaving, dyeing and sewing defects. Captured images are analyzed in real time and flagged instantly to line workers, while aggregated defect data feeds back to quality managers. Customers are ready-made garment (RMG) and fabric manufacturing factories running pilot programs with the company.

1. Real-time defect capture: industrial cameras and smart glasses scan fabric during production.

2. AI defect analysis: neural network models classify weaving, dyeing and sewing flaws.

3. Instant alerts: inspectors receive immediate notifications before cutting or packing.

4. Edge devices: ruggedized on-loom computers process images without cloud latency.

5. Waste reduction reporting: aggregated defect data supports quality managers and waste tracking.

6. Pilot deployment model: factories onboard through supervised pilot programs before scale-up.
