Description
The possibility of utilizing existing, unsold resources as raw materials is a cost-saving and profitable way to comply with the new regulations. Through reworking, improved (demand-oriented) and desirable (unique and limited) products and collections are created. **Recreate goods** is an AI-powered upcycling assistant for the further development of finished garments. It uses image-to-image design and data analysis (trends and consumer behavior data) to suggest modifications to these unsold, existing goods. The solution provides ease in managing the complex task of designing with overproduction. From images of the existing goods, visual product proposals and work instructions for modification are generated. Two blouses become a dress; a blazer becomes a sweater. Suitable local production facilities are assigned to directly carry out the modifications. SMEs of the European textile industry accept orders at competitive prices. The cost savings from eliminating global supplier management allow for local labor costs.
Why: Designers create collections with passion and launch them with enthusiasm. They are reluctant to look at the unsold goods from the previous season, which simply were not in the right place at the right time. To enable designers to utilize unsold goods through reworking in the daily operations of brands and manufacturers, they require ease of use.
