deepsilk AI for Apparel

Intelligent operating system for the apparel industry.

TB Group is developing deepsilk AI for Apparel as a complete digital solution for apparel sourcing, merchandising, costing, T&A planning, production tracking and management visibility. The goal is to help teams move from scattered Excel files and manual follow-up into one intelligent command system.

The platform is designed to support merchandisers, costing teams, production planners, QC teams, factory partners, management and buyers with faster decisions, clearer risk signals and live execution control.

Platform Modules

What deepsilk AI will help manage

A purpose-built apparel intelligence layer that connects costing, planning, production, quality, shipment and management decisions.

Apparel Costing Intelligence

Assist costing teams with BOM structure, fabric consumption, trims, CM, wash, print, embroidery, packing, freight assumptions and target FOB comparison.

T&A Plan Maker

Create time-and-action calendars from sample development to bulk shipment, including approval deadlines, material booking, PP sample, production, inspection and delivery milestones.

Production Tracking

Track order status by style, PO, factory, country and shipment window with live progress, bottleneck alerts, delay reasons and responsible team follow-up.

Factory & Vendor Intelligence

Compare factory capacity, product strength, compliance status, historical quality, delivery performance, communication speed and suitability for each order.

Quality & Compliance Control

Connect inspection checkpoints, sample comments, measurement issues, corrective actions, certification needs and buyer documentation into one controlled workflow.

Management Dashboard

Give leadership visibility across costing accuracy, order progress, shipment risk, factory performance, team workload and buyer service status.

Information needed to build it

Product master data, categories, size ranges and construction rules
BOM templates, fabric/trims pricing and consumption formulas
CM rates, SMV/SAM data, factory capability and country cost logic
Sampling, approval, production, QC and shipment milestone standards
Factory capacity, compliance files, audit status and performance history
ERP/order data, PO data, shipment records and buyer communication rules
User roles for buyer, merchandiser, QC, factory, management and admin

Development roadmap

Phase 01Costing assistant, BOM builder, target price comparison and quotation preparation.

Phase 02Automatic T&A maker with calendar, approval reminders and critical path alerts.

Phase 03Production tracking dashboard connected to order, factory, QC and shipment milestones.

Phase 04Buyer portal, vendor scorecard, ERP/API connection and predictive delay/risk analysis.

Positioning: deepsilk AI for Apparel will position TB Group as a technology-driven apparel partner, not only a sourcing company. It is planned as a complete intelligent platform for costing, planning, production visibility and decision control across the apparel industry.

The Invention Story

From R&D experiment to buyer-ready seam free apparel.

TB Group’s R&D sector developed Seam Free Technology by studying how modern activewear should move with the body instead of fighting against it. The research focused on reducing bulky seams, improving stretch recovery, controlling compression and creating cleaner garment shapes through advanced knitting and material engineering.

The invention is not treated as a one-time idea. TB Group’s R&D team works regularly on yarn selection, fabrication, body-zone mapping, machine programming, fit correction and washing/finishing performance so every new style can become more comfortable, more technical and easier for buyers to commercialize.

InventNew seam free structures, textures and body-mapped zones are developed through R&D trials.

ImproveThe team keeps refining comfort, recovery, opacity, hand feel and measurement stability.

IndustrializeApproved concepts are converted into sampling standards and scalable production controls.

Technology Detail

What Seam Free Technology means

A product development platform combining yarn selection, knit structure engineering, body mapping, compression zoning and finishing control.

Comfort-first construction

Seam Free garments reduce hard seam lines and create smoother contact with the body, improving comfort for movement-heavy categories such as yoga, training and base-layer apparel.

Body-mapped performance

Different zones can be engineered for stretch, breathability, support or compression, allowing one garment to perform differently across body areas.

Cleaner product appearance

The technology creates a refined, modern look with fewer visible construction lines, supporting premium activewear and lifestyle presentation.

Material engineering

Yarn, denier, elastane content, hand feel, recovery, opacity and surface texture are coordinated from development stage to support function and price target.

Sampling precision

R&D development focuses on size, tension, pattern mapping and machine programming so samples can move faster from concept to buyer approval.

Scalable manufacturing

Once approved, the program can move into controlled production with specification, quality checkpoints, measurement review and shipment follow-up.

Buyer Value
