From Fabric Inspection to Cutting: How Tuntex Improved Production Stability

Customer Background

Tung Feng is a Taiwan-based textile and garment manufacturer with operations covering weaving, dyeing and finishing, garment production and technical textiles, as well as overseas manufacturing locations.

The Challenge

Tung Feng faced different equipment issues in fabric inspection and cutting operations.

In fabric inspection, its previous AOI and AI inspection equipment required approximately 20 minutes to process each new defect type, according to the original case record. Highly elastic fabrics also presented difficulties during inspection, as fabric tension could affect surface condition and increase the need for manual checking.

In cutting operations, automatic cutting equipment previously used at overseas factories had experienced failures and extended maintenance response times, affecting cutting schedules and subsequent production arrangements.

Improving the Front-End Process from Inspection Data to Cutting Operations

Tung Feng implemented OSHIMA equipment in both inspection and cutting processes:

• Inspection time was reduced from more than 40 minutes to 6 minutes per fabric roll;

• Detection accuracy improved by more than 50% compared with manual inspection;

• AI fabric inspection generated defect maps and inspection reports for quality data management;

• No losses caused by machine downtime were recorded after the adoption of OSHIMA automatic cutting equipment.

Conclusion

By implementing AI fabric inspection and automatic cutting equipment, Tung Feng improved fabric inspection speed, defect data management and cutting equipment reliability. For textile and garment manufacturers handling elastic fabrics and high-volume orders, stable front-end equipment and usable inspection data can directly support subsequent production planning.
