Abstract
Artificial
intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of every industry. With the
emergence of big data, the industries, and more especially textile and apparel
(T&A) industry, are on the brink of relationships with consumers,
suppliers, and competitors. They need to handle different scenarios with a
multitude of complex correlations and dependencies between them and
uncertainties arising from human interaction. It has become imperative for them
to manage huge amounts of data for the optimization of decision-making
processes. In such circumstances, AI techniques have shown promise in every
segment of the T&A value chain, from product discovery to robotic
manufacturing. The potential wide-ranging applications of AI in T&A
industry have found their ways into design support systems to T&A
recommendation systems, intelligent tracking systems, quality control, T&A
forecasting, predictive analytics in supply chain management or social networks
and T&A e-commerce. The research recourses to the qualitative method in the
form of systematic literature review and in-depth interviews from senior management
people and industry experts. Findings identify the dimensions of AI to develop
dynamic capability along with its potential impact and probable challenges. As
such, the findings contribute to relevant literature and offer useful insights
for academia and practitioners.
