In the
apparel industry, training is crucial because it brings skilled workers and
promotes increased productivity. However, typical manual approaches frequently
fail to accelerate the training process, resulting in unsatisfactory results
properly. In this paper, the authors describe an innovative strategy to
increase the productivity and efficiency of sewing machine operator training
processes by using a machine learning-driven web-based application. The
proposed application leverages the power of machine learning models to identify
and solve crucial areas for improvement. It specifically detects wrong hand
movements, incorrect trainee sitting postures, defects in sewed garments, and
errors in dexterity tests during the training period of the sewing operators.
Notably, the Graphical Neural Network (GNN) model detects erroneous hand
movements with an astonishing 85% accuracy. The Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) model excels in detecting incorrect sitting postures, with an impressive
75% accuracy. Furthermore, the CNN model detects garment defects with an
accuracy of 95%, while the CNN model detects test result errors in dexterity
tests with an astounding 97% test accuracy. By using the proposed web tool for
screening, the authors expect to see a significant increase in trainee
productivity and efficiency. Lastly, the machine learning-driven web-based
application is a great tool for optimizing the garment industry's training
process. Future plans include increasing the application's functionality,
introducing new features, and investigating its applicability across multiple
sectors within garment manufacturing. By adopting this unique approach, the
apparel sector can achieve significant gains in training outcomes, resulting in
a more skilled and efficient workforce.
