Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about the future of textile analysis, answered. If you don't see your answer here, feel free to get in touch.

General

What is FabricLens?

FabricLens is an AI-powered, web-based (SaaS) platform that serves as a "Virtual Laboratory" for the textile industry. It replaces slow, manual, and expensive physical testing by allowing you to digitally analyze, inspect, design, and simulate textile fabrics before they are ever made.

Is this a physical machine or software?

FabricLens is an intelligent SaaS platform. It is not a bulky, expensive machine. Our system is designed to be lightweight and integrate with your existing inspection hardware. Our core value is in our AI and software, not in selling more hardware.

Who is FabricLens for?

Our platform is designed for three main groups:

1. Textile Mills & Manufacturers: To automate quality control, reduce defects, and increase inspection speed.
2. R&D Labs & Designers: To virtually prototype new weaves, test properties, and accelerate innovation.
3. Academic Institutions: To provide students and researchers with a powerful, modern tool for textile engineering.

Who is behind FabricLens?

We are a team of Textile Engineers and software developers — insiders who have worked on factory floors and in R&D labs. We built FabricLens to solve the problems we experienced firsthand.

Technology & Features

What fabric parameters can you analyse?

Our AI automates extraction of all key parameters from a fabric image:

• Ends Per Inch (EPI) & Picks Per Inch (PPI)
• Grams per Square Metre (GSM)
• Crimp Percentage (Warp & Weft)
• Bow & Skew Distortions
• Weave Pattern Classification

What does the "Virtual Simulation" do?

Our simulation engine allows you to predict a fabric's physical properties before it's woven. Based on weave design and yarn data, our physics-based models predict: Tensile Strength, Stress-Strain Response, and Durability (e.g., Martindale abrasion).

Can it find sustainable / cheaper material alternatives?

Yes. This is one of our most powerful, patent-pending features. Our AI can analyse the properties of a target fabric and then run simulations to recommend alternative, lower-cost, or more sustainable material combinations that achieve a nearly identical set of performance properties.

Business & ROI

How is FabricLens different from competitors?

"While competitors optimise hardware, we optimise intelligence."

Legacy competitors sell expensive, proprietary hardware that costs crores. Our advantage is our AI-first SaaS model — affordable, scalable, and designed to integrate with your existing machines.

What is the real ROI of using FabricLens?

Our models show a clear and rapid return on investment:

~260% ROI in the first year
4–6 Month Payback Period
3.75× Faster inspection speeds
• Drastic reduction in material waste and R&D lab costs

How much does it cost?

We offer flexible packages: complete hardware + software bundles for mills, SaaS-only subscriptions for labs, and affordable educational licences. For a detailed quote, request a demo.
