PillNot Demo Scenario Report
Prepared as a sample export for the Riopele finalist presentation.
Executive summary: PillNot compares a vulnerable polyester/viscose open-end construction against a stronger high-density anti-pilling twill scenario. The improved scenario reaches the Class >=3 target in the prototype model while making the trade-offs visible for validation.
Scenario Comparison
| Metric | Baseline | Improved Scenario | Change |
|---|
| Predicted pilling class | 2 | 4 | +2 |
| Primary driver | Yarn/process weakness | Improved yarn, density and finishing path | More controlled surface behavior |
| Handle | Fair | Fair | Preserve/validate with lab hand-feel notes |
| Cost | Low | Medium | Higher cost, but stronger target protection |
| Processing time | Medium | Slow | Validate process burden |
| Energy use | Medium | High | Optimize after Class >=3 path is confirmed |
Engineering Interpretation
- The baseline recipe creates pilling risk through open-end spinning, low twist, higher hairiness, lower density and softener use.
- The improved recipe uses stronger surface control: high twist, ring spinning, higher density and anti-pilling treatment.
- The key decision is whether the improved pilling position justifies added cost, time and energy, or whether Riopele can find a lower-burden variant.
Validation Plan
- Collect representative polyester-predominant woven articles and metadata.
- Run ISO 12945-2 pilling tests and record actual class results.
- Calibrate model weights around the Class >=3 threshold.
- Track error bands by product family and finishing route.
- Use calibrated reports for R&D and leadership review.
