  • To check the cleanliness of clothes with AI cameras, cameras will be installed on the washing and finishing lines. As the sheets or pillowcases pass through the conveyor belt after cleaning, these cameras take high-resolution images of each item of clothing.
  • The next work will be done by AI, which will be trained on the data of thousands of clean and stained clothes.
  • This system will be able to detect even small stains or spots of tea, oil, rust or anything else very easily.
  • In such a situation, if any cloth is found to be less clean than the prescribed standard, then the system will put it in the reject category.
  • One advantage of this will be that the bad clothes will automatically be taken out of the system.
