What changes when it is textiles & apparel

Orqent Labs builds RAG systems where accuracy is measured against a labelled question set, so you know the number rather than trusting a vibe.

In textiles & apparel, margins are thin and small automation gains matter more than sophisticated ones. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is order and sampling documentation, usually integrated against PLM. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

  • buyer compliance reporting

What is included

  • Ingestion pipeline for your real document formats
  • Chunking and embedding strategy tuned to your corpus
  • Hybrid keyword plus vector retrieval with reranking
  • Citations on every answer, traceable to the source page
  • Permission-aware retrieval that respects existing access rules
  • Retrieval quality benchmarked against a labelled question set

Questions from this sector

Can it detect fabric defects?

Yes, and it is a well-suited vision problem given controlled lighting on the inspection table. Accuracy varies by defect type and we report per class.

What about export documentation?

Document automation handles the repetitive assembly and validation, which is where errors and delays concentrate.

RAG or fine-tuning?

RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.

How accurate will it be?

We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.

Can it respect our existing permissions?

Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.

RAG & Knowledge Retrieval for textiles & apparel, worth a conversation?

Tell us the workload and the regulation it sits under. We will tell you what is realistic.
