ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS JUST THAT “ARTIFICIAL”

The artificial intelligence (AI) in your everyday work clothing won’t manage your inventory, but it will definitely help you out. In partnership with clim8^®, Carhartt^® Inc. has released the X-1 Smart Heated Vest, which detects when to start or stop heating based on the wearer’s activity (and resulting body heat) and environment. The company’s goal was to create a lightweight, durable garment that prevents people from having to layer on lots of bulk while on the job or overheating in cold-weather gear.

The vest has three strategically mapped heat zones across the torso. Powered by clim8 intelligent thermal technology, the vest monitors temperatures in real time and responds by heating up or shutting off. It also detects when someone puts the vest on or takes it off. And of course, there’s an app for that. It pairs to a smartphone over a Bluetooth^® connection to calibrate the vest to the wearer’s comfort level.

The product is a part of Carhartt X™, a “new program which is designed to push the limits of what is possible in workwear,” the company reports. Carhartt itself has been around since 1889.

clim8 was founded in France in 2016 and bills itself as strong in thermophysiology, the Internet of Things (IoT) and e-textiles.

I guess Carhartt has given up on getting materials that will keep their customers warm. For years while I was making cold weather clothing I always got calls from people who had Carhartt’s, that were cold and I have to believe that the Carhartt people were also getting or have also gotten calls that stuff they sell doesn't work worth a dam.

So, now are getting involved with the artificial intelligence community to make cold weather clothing. the people in the Carhartt there are developing this stuff have artificial intelligence.

I approached them many years ago saying they should use the Lamilite, it would make much better cold weather clothing that would keep people warm they didn't listen to me and rejected me and so they're still running in circles trying to make a product that will actually work AI is not the answer.

Lamilite is the answer and it will be for Carhartt if they last another 134 years.
