Our Brand Story
The Innovator’s Journey: The Birth of ChiuVention
In the textile world, every fabric tells a story – of a designer’s creativity, of a craftsman’s care for detail and passion for quality. But behind this love for exceptional products lies the challenge of traditional textile testing. With its slow, labor-intensive and repetitive tests with complex equipment, it slows down the progress & innovation of textile industry.
In 2019, me, Forrest Chiu, A mechanical engineer with 16 years of experience in designing testing instruments, identified these pain points: discrepancies in test results between factories, laboratories and brands owners; inefficient workflows in conventional testing and errors in manual data processing, etc.
With the rise of the Internet of Things, I saw the opportunity to revolutionize the textile testing industry.
Together with leaders from the industry we built a strong team. They are dedicated to developing smart instruments, using this game-changing technology.
- George Schroder, former president of a global market leader in color and appearance testing instruments.
- Calvin YM Lam, a leader from world class textile testing institutes.
- Alvin Lee, our head of R&D and former leader in a leading textile testing instruments company.
It took us three years of hard work, and in 2023 we’ve finally launched ChiuVention – the digital future of textile testing.
I stand behind this brand with my name—fully committed to the quality, usability, and intelligence of our innovations. At ChiuVention, we’re transforming the way textile testing is done.
We use RFID, QR codes to track samples to minimize mistakes while speeding up processes. And we also combine AI, Visual Inspection Technology and IoT with textile testing instruments. Our SmarTexLab App connects to instruments and smart mobile/computer/tablet. It also directly connects ERP or LIMS. We innovate the smart, automatic and digital textile testing instruments.
Ease of use is key for us, as it helps our customers to increase speed and reduce faulty results. AirFicient for example can be started with one touch, our Smartindale supports different test modes by just one click. HydroDetector uses AI to identify water leaks, fully automating the testing cycles.
We are driven to further push the efficiency of our textile testing instruments by making them smarter, more reliable and easier to use.
