University of Texas at Austin was awarded the grant for on-loom fabric defect inspection using contact image sensors. North Carolina State University received funding for developing a non-stop tying-in process/approach to improve weaving efficiency and Cornell University for recycling post-consumer textile waste and a raw material substitute for new textiles.
Support for the Innovation Fund is part of Walmart's broader commitment to help revitalize US manufacturing. In January 2013, Walmart announced a commitment to buy an additional $250 billion in products that support US jobs by 2023.
These commitments represent a significant investment that will help accelerate the pace of US manufacturing, the release said. By making production in the US more cost-effective and efficient, the global retailer believes it can bring American consumers more American-made products and ultimately create jobs in communities across the country.
