A4I Round 3 Continuation Project - Development and Optimization of the Designed Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Instrument and Data Processing Algorithm for Quantitative Measurement of the Finish on Johnston's Woven Cashmere Fabrics

“埃尔金约翰斯顿（JOE）是一家奢侈纺织品生产商，在高地和岛屿经营了两个多世纪。JOE主要使用羊绒和美利奴羊毛在全球范围内制造和销售奢侈纺织品（服装、家居装饰和配饰）。该项目将探索新的测量技术来测量机织羊绒织物的关键整理属性。通过这项工作，我们期望开发一个客观的测量系统，用于量化和明确我们的编织产品的光洁度。该解决方案将提高我们的过程控制能力，提高生产力，使我们在全球竞争对手中具有创新的竞争优势，并使我们能够按照越来越严格的客户要求交付成品。”

"Johnstons of Elgin (JOE) is a luxury textile producer operating in the Highlands and Islands for over two centuries. JOE manufacture and sell luxury textiles globally (clothing, home interiors and accessories) using mainly cashmere and merino wool. The project will explore novel measurement techniques for measuring critical finish attributes of woven cashmere fabrics.Through this work we expect to develop an objective measurement system for quantifying and articulating the finish of our woven products. This solution will improve our process control capabilities, improve productivity, give us an innovative competitive edge over our global competitors and enable us to deliver finishes to increasingly tighter customer specifications."
