Specim RETEX Hyperspectral AI Textile Identification and Separation

Complete hyperspectral and AI-based solution for textile material identification and automated material separation

Specim RETEX combines hyperspectral imaging and AI to accurately identify textile materials, including complex blends and impurities, enabling automated material separation and scalable textile processing. Accurate material identification is essential for modern textile processing. Conventional machine vision technologies often struggle with blended and visually similar materials. Hyperspectral imaging provides detailed spectral information beyond the visible range, enabling precise material recognition that is not achievable with RGB or multispectral systems.

Up to 99% accuracy for cotton | Up to 98% accuracy for polyester | Up to 99% accuracy for polyamide

Recognises blends (e.g. polycotton), wool, elastane, and other textile materials.
Covers over 95% of common textile materials.

Specim RETEX is designed for integration into existing processes without requiring system redesign.

The modular architecture supports deployment from laboratory environments to full-scale industrial systems.

Early adopters are already using RETEX in production to improve material recognition and enable data-driven textile processing.

FEATURES:

  • High-accuracy identification of cotton, polyester, polyamide, viscose, wool, and acrylic
  • Recognition of blends and material composition
  • Elastane detection, including in previously unseen blends
  • Detection of impurities and colour recognition
  • Real-time processing for production environments
