MaxTex AI Fabric Optimisation

About MaxTex – AI Fabric Optimisation

MaxTex is an advanced AI-powered optimisation platform created specifically for woven, knitwear, and garment manufacturers who need precise control over fabric consumption, order planning, and production flow. It is built to solve one of the industry’s biggest challenges—reducing material wastage while improving output quality and delivery timelines. MaxTex analyses each order, fabric type, shade, width, and machine capability to generate highly efficient cutting plans and production sequences, helping manufacturers make smarter, faster, and more cost-effective decisions.

Who Is This For?

MaxTex is designed for textile and garment manufacturers operating in fast-paced, volume-driven environments where even minor inefficiencies can result in significant financial loss. Whether you manage woven fabric production, knitwear lines, composite units, or garment cutting departments, MaxTex provides real-time optimisation across planning, cutting, quality control, and order scheduling. It is ideal for factories struggling with inconsistent shade batches, high wastage percentages, missed delivery dates, or lack of visibility into daily production efficiency.

What It Does

MaxTex uses artificial intelligence to analyse order requirements, fabric constraints, machine data, and delivery deadlines, producing the most optimised way to run your production floor. It can plan cutting spreads, calculate fabric usage, sequence orders according to dye lots, and balance workload across lines. The system continuously learns from performance data, enabling increasingly accurate optimisation with every cycle. By identifying inefficiencies early and guiding decision-makers with data-driven insights, MaxTex ensures smoother operations and reduced waste.

Core Functionalities

  • AI Cutting Plan: MaxTex automatically generates highly optimised cutting plans by grouping sizes, adjusting placement, and calculating ideal marker layouts. The system minimises offcuts, ensures fabric is utilised to its highest possible efficiency, and reduces manual planning time. It also adapts to fabric width variations and real-time QC feedback.
  • AI Order Sequencing: Using production deadlines, dye batch compatibility, machine capacity, and operator efficiency, MaxTex intelligently sequences orders to ensure a smooth workflow. The system helps avoid bottlenecks, reduces excessive changeovers, and ensures that urgent orders are prioritised without disrupting the plan.
  • Shade & Dye Batch Optimisation: MaxTex analyses fabric shade batches and groups compatible orders together to minimise shade mismatches. By aligning production with the correct dye lots, it reduces re-dyeing requirements, improves colour consistency, and prevents expensive rework.
  • Waste Tracking Dashboard: A live dashboard provides visibility into daily, weekly, and monthly fabric usage and wastage. It allows supervisors to monitor performance by order, machine, operator, and shift. Trend analysis helps pinpoint recurring inefficiencies, enabling timely corrective action and better decision-making.

Integration Options

  • ERP Integration: Connect MaxTex with SAP B1, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, or custom ERPs using REST API integration. Fabric requisition, order details, and production data flow directly between both systems.
  • Machine Integration: MaxTex connects with cutting machines and PLC-based systems using industrial protocols such as OPC-UA and Modbus. This allows real-time performance data from cutting rooms to inform and adjust optimisation models.
  • QC Systems: Quality control data—shrinkage test results, GSM, shade variation reports—can be uploaded into the system to refine calculations and ensure accurate cutting plans based on real fabric behaviour.
