Artificial intelligence: Technology and application in apparel manufacturing

Apparel manufacturing is labor intensive, which is characterized by low fixed capital investment; a wide range of product designs and hence input materials; variable production volumes; high competitiveness and often high demand on product quality. To cater these demands, the labor intensive processes should be converted into automated processes accomplished by the use of computers, models, digital components and artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the field of study that deals with the synthesis and analysis of computational agents that act intelligently. In this review, a systematic study has been done to explore various applications of artificial intelligence in apparel manufacturing. This also includes different types of artificial intelligence such as expert systems, neural network, Fuzzy logic, genetic algorithm and other approaches used in garment manufacturing
