1.1 Background of the Study
The textile industry is highly dependent on quality control processes to ensure that products meet industry standards and customer expectations. In traditional textile manufacturing settings, quality control is often performed manually, which can be prone to errors, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) inspection systems has the potential to revolutionize quality control in textile manufacturing by automating defect detection, monitoring production quality, and providing real-time feedback (Adebayo et al., 2024).
Kaduna Textiles Limited, located in Kaduna State, Nigeria, represents a key player in the country's textile industry. The company has struggled with maintaining consistent quality control due to the complexities and scale of its production lines. While manual inspection systems are in place, these methods have proven to be time-consuming and less accurate, particularly when dealing with large volumes of products. AI-driven inspection systems, which use computer vision and machine learning algorithms, have shown promise in automating the inspection process, improving accuracy, and reducing human errors.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of AI-driven quality control systems at Kaduna Textiles Limited, exploring how AI tools can enhance product quality, reduce defects, and improve operational efficiency in the textile industry.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Quality control is a critical aspect of textile manufacturing, but manual inspection processes at Kaduna Textiles Limited have led to inefficiencies and higher rates of product defects. The company has been unable to consistently detect defects early in the production process, leading to costly rework, customer dissatisfaction, and increased operational costs. Despite the potential benefits of AI in automating and improving quality control, Kaduna Textiles Limited has yet to fully implement AI-driven inspection systems.
There is a need for a more efficient and accurate system to detect defects in textiles and ensure consistent product quality. This study aims to address the gap by evaluating the impact of AI-powered inspection systems in improving quality control at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the effectiveness of AI inspection systems in improving the accuracy and speed of quality control at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
2. To evaluate the potential benefits of AI-driven inspection systems in reducing product defects and enhancing operational efficiency at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
3. To identify the challenges and barriers to implementing AI inspection systems in the textile industry.
1.4 Research Questions
1. How can AI inspection systems improve the accuracy and efficiency of quality control at Kaduna Textiles Limited?
2. What are the potential benefits of implementing AI-driven inspection systems in reducing product defects at Kaduna Textiles Limited?
3. What challenges does Kaduna Textiles Limited face in adopting AI-driven quality control systems, and how can these challenges be addressed?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
1. AI-powered inspection systems will significantly improve the accuracy and speed of quality control at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
2. Implementing AI-driven quality control will lead to a reduction in product defects and rework costs at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
3. Resistance to change, lack of technical expertise, and high implementation costs will hinder the adoption of AI inspection systems at Kaduna Textiles Limited.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study is significant because it explores the potential for AI to improve quality control in Nigeria's textile industry. By examining Kaduna Textiles Limited, the study offers insights that can guide other textile manufacturers in Nigeria and Africa in adopting AI technologies. The findings will contribute to the development of more efficient, cost-effective quality control systems in the textile industry, leading to enhanced product quality and customer satisfaction.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the application of AI inspection systems at Kaduna Textiles Limited, evaluating their impact on quality control processes. The scope is limited to product defects, quality control, and operational efficiency in the textile manufacturing process. The study does not address other areas of textile manufacturing such as production efficiency or employee training. Challenges such as data availability, the cost of implementation, and resistance from employees may limit the findings.
