Precision Textile Classification with Hyperspectral Imaging and AI

Accurate and efficient classification of materials is critical in textile sorting for recycling and reuse. Hyperspectral imaging technology is a powerful tool that allows processors to identify different materials based on their unique spectral properties, including blends and impurities, even if they appear visually similar.

This free webinar hosted by Specim will explore how hyperspectral imaging, combined with AI, enables precision recognition of textiles, including complex blends and elastane, and how this capability supports scalable textile processing across a variety of applications from R&D to end-to-end industrial sorting systems.

The webinar will also include information and demonstration of the new Specim RETEX Textile Recognition System. It is ideal for OEMs and machine builders, system integrators, textile manufacturers and processors, recycling and circular economy operators, researchers, and R&D professionals.

 

This webinar takes place on Wednesday, May 20th 2026 at 11:00AM EEST.
