  "account": "OSHIAMA CO., LTD. has unveiled PlySight™, an AI-powered platform for mapping textile defects within the OSHIMA Smart Factory Platform. This innovative system correlates roll defect data from the EagleAi AI fabric inspection machine with production marker and lay plans, identifying which pieces and layers contain defects before the fabric is even spread. As part of the package, PlySight is provided free of charge to all EagleAi customers.\n\nOSHIMA will showcase PlySight at Preview in SEOUL 2026 (August 19-21, Booth A-313). EagleAi, OSHIMA's AI fabric inspection machine, automatically detects, classifies, and records every defect during inspection, generating a digital twin for each inspected roll containing details on the defect's type, dimensions, and physical position. PlySight places these defects on the correct layer of the planned lay, displays splice points and layer coverage, alerts planners when selected rolls cannot complete the lay, and enables them to test alternative roll plans before committing to fabric.\n\nWith four straightforward steps - uploading the marker file, setting lay length and ply count, selecting and sequencing the inspected rolls, and previewing every layer and its affected pieces - PlySight promises to minimize rejected pieces, reduce re-cutting and re-spreading, lower the need for replacement fabric, and preserve the cleanest rolls for demanding styles. This not only leads to cost savings but also reduces water, energy, and chemical usage, as well as textile waste.\n\nOSHIAMA, which builds the inspection machine, platform, and its spreading, cutting, projection, and labeling equipment in-house, combines this technological prowess with EagleAi's roll-level intelligence to deliver a comprehensive solution - PlySight turning AI into actionable production planning. As CEO Florian Finke notes, \"Manufacturers can act before fabric is spread, cut, or unnecessarily replaced.\" For more information, visit https://www.oshima.com.tw.",
