Imagine Knitwear Produktion
What we do.
The production of Industrial knitwear produces huge amounts of leftover yarns during the production process. Often considered production waste the yarn is sold cheaply or destroyed. The idea of Mutagarn is to use these leftover materials in a resource efficient way to create individualized pieces of knitwear. This could be either as a series- or in a customer based personalized way.
To achieve this goal we develop an AI driven software that analyzes the distribution of colors available and allows to generate individual designs on this basis. Several types of pattern generators can be mixed and matched. Using a feedback driven approach Mutagarn allows the user to rate each presented design and adapts itself to present more convenient designs.
