Retrofitting 20-year-old textile machines with AI
· 1 min read · via LinkedIn

Most textile factories run on machines that are 15–20 years old. Replacing them costs millions. Retrofitting them with AI doesn't.
That's what we're building at NexTex AI: a machine-agnostic platform that adds real-time defect detection and sustainability intelligence — energy, water, CO₂, waste — to existing production lines. No new machines. No production stops.
We put together a short video that shows what this looks like in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tcRuP7Z9Qo
Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from anyone working in textile manufacturing or industrial AI.
