Apparatus and method of identifying and sizing clothing in an inventory management system

This invention describes an automated system for managing clothing inventory, particularly for custom or on-demand production. It starts with a digital design, generates a pattern, and then uses a cutting device to shape the material. Robotic arms then handle each cut piece, a measuring wand scans it to record precise dimensions and a unique identifier, and the system tracks it into storage.

Why it matters: Advances in robotic dexterity and computer vision systems since 2019 have made precise automated handling and measurement of individual fabric pieces more robust and cost-effective, enabling efficient on-demand clothing production.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotic arm, automated cutting, custom measuring wand, software.
