随着人们对健身追踪器和可穿戴技术等产品的需求不断增加，对智能纺织品和智能服装的需求也随之增加。根据最近的一份市场报告，到 2025 年，全球智能纺织品市场规模预计将达到 55.5 亿美元。
The rise of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the once labor-intensive textile industry. Computerized machinery is now found in most textile factories, and these machines are far more efficient at creating specific designs on a massive volume than human workers.
每天都有新的智能服装产品问世。通过采用人工智能以及蓝牙低功耗、边缘计算和云数据等技术，智能纺织品可以监测和传递穿着者的信息，包括血压、心率、汗液、温度等生物识别数据。
This article will examine how AI is impacting the textile industry, some new use cases, and why ultra-low-power (ULP) technologies are needed to fully unleash AI at the edge devices.
人工智能在纺织业的应用
对于纺织品制造商来说，人工智能正在重塑他们的整个生产流程和经营方式。人工智能可以访问和收集历史和实时运营数据，提供可提高运营效率的见解。当你对自己的运营有了清晰的认识，就更容易调整流程，放大人类工人的能力。
无论是产品成本、纺织品生产、质量控制、及时生产、数据收集，还是计算机集成制造，人工智能都在流程的每一个环节留下了印记。纺织品生产中常见的人工智能集成应用包括缺陷检测、图案检测和色彩匹配。
人工智能的应用使智能服装或 "智能服装 "得以利用物联网和电子传感器创造更好的用户体验。通过利用这些技术，智能服装可以提供更舒适的体验和更注重医疗保健的体验。下面，我们将探讨纺织业的一些新可能性。
启用新的使用案例
就像健身追踪器可以帮助用户过上更健康、更贴心的生活一样，结合了电子传感技术的智能服装也可以做到这一点。不过，与智能手表相比，衣服与身体的接触面积更大，因此智能服装有可能提供更多类型的生理信号测量。
智能服装可以对重要的生物特征（如心率）进行连续监测。由于长期监测更加可行，医生可以更好地识别或诊断潜在的心脏疾病。智能服装可以帮助患者收集完整、全面的心脏相关数据，跟踪长期的心脏疾病，并通过长期的定期监测加强对心脏问题的检测和诊断。
COVID-19 事件爆发后，消费者更加重视可穿戴产品中的保健和医疗功能，现在这已延伸到智能服装上。嵌入 BLE 技术的服装可以感受、感知和调节数据，基于织物的传感器的开发只会改善整体穿着体验。
