    Abstract: A system for inspecting and validating processes performed on a continuous web of fabric in an automated apparel manufacturing environment. The continuous web of fabric can move in a step wise fashion across a work area where tooling can perform one or more processes on the continuous web of fabric. At least one projector is provided to display an image onto the continuous web of fabric the image including a first image related to an article to be manufactured and a second image related to a reference grid. The continuous web of fabric and the first and second images are viewed by a camera, and data related to the viewed first and second images and the continuous web of fabric can be sent to a computer implemented control center which can analyze the data to determine whether a deviation or error exists regarding the manufacturing process.

    Abstract: Methods and systems enabling tracking and managing apparel items are described. The apparel item (e.g. clothing item, shoes, accessories, jewelry and other type of wearables) is tagged and tracked using an inimitable identification tag that is at least partially invisible to the naked human eye, and generating a record of the apparel item in a distributed ledger using the tag data of the inimitable identification tag. The record is associated with a non-fungible token (NFT) on the ledger that allows for tracking the item throughout its life. For example, it is possible to locate and authenticate the apparel item by using the private key associated with the NFT of the token. The apparel item may be tracked starting from a manufacturing phase of the apparel and extending throughout the lifespan of the apparel item. The authenticity of the apparel item can be shown throughout the manufacturing, distribution and ownership stages.

    Abstract: Kiosk systems are used for personalizing articles. The articles may include an item to be personalized assembled with components of packaging in a pre-hooped configuration. The system may include a housing and a personalization system within the housing. The personalization system may include a plurality of system components for personalizing the article. The system may also include a conveying system within the housing. The conveying system may be used to transfer the article in the pre-hooped configuration between the system components of the personalization systems. The system may also include a control system in the housing and/or remote from the housing. The control system may receive a personalization order and in response the control system may control the system components of the personalization systems and the conveying system so that the article is personalized without human intervention once within the housing.

    Abstract: A method and tooling for manufacturing flexible articles of manufacture such as garments, bags, backpacks and accessories that require hemmed edges. The method and tooling are compatible for use in an automated system and simplify the hemming process by performing the hemming operation on a flat pattern of material before the pattern of material has been joined with other patterns of material to form a finished or intermediate three-dimensional workpiece. This facilitates the formation of the hem by allowing the hem to be formed on a flat material pattern on a flat surface, thereby facilitating the folding, creasing and affixing of the hem without the requirement of human dexterity and labor.
