AI Meets Textile: Shelton Unveils Next-Gen Fabric Inspection Revolution
Share Post
At ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore, UK-based Shelton Vision is gearing up to showcase a revolution in textile inspection. With the event scheduled from October 28–31 the company will unveil its next-generation AI-powered machine vision systems that promise to change how fabric quality is monitored. Shelton joins a 20-member delegation from the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA), bringing a wave of innovation in fibres, fabrics, testing tools, and process control.
Shelton’s technology tackles one of the toughest challenges in textile production: spotting minute flaws in fabrics moving at high speed. By combining machine learning with Deep Learning AI the system not only identifies defects with over 98% accuracy but also classifies and grades them almost perfectly. This means manufacturers can now reduce reliance on human inspection, minimize waste and increase efficiency across production lines.
A standout feature is Shelton’s AI Classifier, a flexible tool that can integrate with third-party inspection systems lacking grading functions. Alongside this, its optimized cut plan system within the AI Review station automates decision-making, turning complex production data into actionable insights that improve returns on investment.
CEO Mark Shelton explained, “Our systems deliver instant, reliable fabric quality data, cutting lead times and reducing waste. We are now expanding into new arenas, including outdoor upholstery, airbags and the growing camouflage printing sector.”
BTMA CEO Jason Kent added, “UK textile innovators are pushing limits beyond imagination. 2025 is shaping up to be a remarkable year with groundbreaking technologies on display.”
Since 1940, BTMA has championed UK textile machinery worldwide, connecting manufacturers with global markets. This year exhibitors including Airbond, AVA CAD/CAM, James Heal, Sellers, Shelton Vision and many more will demonstrate why the future of textile manufacturing is now powered by intelligence, precision and creativity.
