AI Tech Packs

Product Introduction

1. Definition: AI Tech Packs is an AI-powered SaaS platform in the apparel tech pack software category. It automates the creation of factory-ready technical packages for garment production, including measurement specs, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and flat sketches.
2. Core Value Proposition: It eliminates bottlenecks in fashion product development by replacing manual Illustrator/Excel workflows with AI-driven automation, enabling faster sampling, quoting, and production for apparel manufacturers and brands.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Tech Pack Generation:
   • How it works: Users upload front/back garment images. The AI analyzes design elements using computer vision algorithms to auto-generate measurement lines, graded size charts, and BOMs.
   • Technology: Combines generative AI for sketch creation and pattern recognition for extracting measurements. Outputs editable, standardized templates in 2–4 minutes.
2. Customizable Measurement Locking (Studio):
   • How it works: Allows locking user-defined Points of Measure (POMs) or BOMs to prevent AI modifications. Supports pasting Excel/table data directly into fields.
   • Technology: Uses data validation APIs to preserve manual inputs while integrating AI suggestions, ensuring accuracy for custom garment sizing.
3. Batch Generation & Multi-Size Grading:
   • How it works: Generates tech packs for multiple sizes (XS–4XL) simultaneously. AI auto-grades measurements based on base size (e.g., Medium), reducing manual scaling errors.
   • Technology: Leverages parametric grading algorithms to maintain proportional accuracy across sizes, critical for factory-ready production.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Eliminates time-consuming tech pack creation (traditional methods take hours/days vs. minutes) and reduces errors from manual data entry in Excel/Illustrator.
2. Target Audience:
   • Apparel startups lacking technical design resources.
   • Fashion brands scaling production with overseas manufacturers.
   • Designers transitioning from concept to factory-ready specs.
3. Use Cases:
   • Rapid iteration for sampling and quoting with suppliers.
   • Standardizing tech packs for blanks customization (e.g., printed hoodies).
   • Ensuring manufacturing compliance for complex fits (e.g., tailored dresses).

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike manual tools (e.g., Adobe Illustrator) or generic PLM software, AI Tech Packs offers AI-generated flat sketches with measurement lines—a rarity in affordable solutions. Competitors lack automated visual-to-spec conversion.
2. Key Innovation: Proprietary AI measurement extraction from images, which interprets design features (e.g., hoodie drawstrings, dress draping) and converts them into industry-standard POMs without manual tracing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How accurate is AI Tech Packs’ measurement generation?
   The AI achieves ~90% accuracy on standard garments (e.g., hoodies, dresses) using pattern recognition. For complex designs, users can lock custom measurements or edit AI outputs in-platform.
2. Can I use AI Tech Packs for custom size ranges beyond XS–4XL?
   Yes. The platform supports bespoke size ranges (e.g., 3XS–6XL). Input base size (M) measurements, and AI auto-grades other sizes proportionally.
3. Does it integrate with existing fashion PLM or ERP systems?
   Not natively. Outputs are downloadable as standardized templates compatible with factory systems. Excel table pasting streamlines data transfer into external tools.
4. What file formats are supported for garment uploads?
   Accepts JPG, PNG, or WEBP images (max 5MB). Front/back views yield optimal results. For best AI interpretation, use well-lit, flat-lay garment photos.
