Luxury fabric manufacturers work with colour yarn suppliers in the UK and worldwide. Physical samples are shipped between the mill and suppliers to be checked, and if a shade is rejected, production delays, additional costs and waste ensues.

This project will develop a new digital system that generates accurate, calibrated colour measurement information and communicates this to suppliers and customers around the world. Making decisions immediate will enable shorter lead times and better accuracy, as well as significantly reducing waste associated with raw materials, energy and transport – reducing the carbon footprint of manufacturing luxury fabric.
