Specim RETEX
AI Powered Textile Recognition
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.
What is Specim RETEX?
Specim RETEX is a complete, all-in-one industrial hardware and software solution that handles the entire textile sorting process from start to finish. Instead of just buying a standalone component, RETEX provides the full integrated package required for automated material sorting.
Illumination
Specialised industrial lighting arrays designed to reveal deep spectral characteristics.
Hyperspectral Camera
High-performance optical sensors that scan moving textiles beyond the visible light spectrum.
AI Analysis
Pre-installed software engines that process hyperspectral data in real-time to identify exact material compositions.
Why Hyperspectral Imaging?
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.
Hyperspectral Imaging Meets AI
Hyperspectral data enables AI-driven material recognition beyond conventional vision systems. This complete solution combines:
- Industrial illumination
- Hyperspectral imaging
- AI-based analysis
- Automated material separation
