Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial automation control and processing, and in particular to a fabric finishing method, apparatus, system and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Textile finishing (also known as functional finishing) refers to the processing of fabrics after the main processes of weaving, dyeing, or printing, using chemical or physical methods to impart special properties to the fabric that it did not originally possess. For example, it can impart functions such as waterproofing, antibacterial properties, wrinkle resistance, moisture wicking, and UV protection, thereby expanding its application areas and enhancing product value and user experience. Currently, the most commonly used functional finishing method is padding, which involves immersing the fabric in a functional finishing solution and then pressing it with rollers to ensure the finishing agent adheres evenly to the entire fabric. Although this method is widely used in the textile industry, it still suffers from problems such as high cost, limited functionality, and complex processes.

[0003] Currently, to broaden the application scope of functional finishing, one solution is to optimize auxiliaries to achieve functional compounding, using specific mass concentration ratios to improve fabric performance. Another solution is to combine multiple functional materials with textile materials to ultimately meet the multi-functional requirements of textile materials and satisfy wearing requirements. However, both of these solutions are essentially finishing technologies for all areas, and existing technologies still have significant shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Network 150 can facilitate the exchange of information and / or data. In some embodiments, one or more components of the fabric finishing system 100 (e.g., processing device 110, execution platform 120, terminal 130, storage device 140, and data source 160) can transmit information to other components of the fabric finishing system 100 via network 150. For example, processing device 110 can send finishing instructions to execution platform 120 via network 150.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary processing device according to some embodiments of this application. The computing device 200 may include any components used to implement the system described in the embodiments of this application. For example, the computing device 200 may be implemented using hardware, software programs, firmware, or a combination thereof. For convenience, only one processing device is shown in the figure; however, the computing functions related to the fabric finishing system 100 described in the embodiments of this application may be implemented in a distributed manner by a set of similar platforms to distribute the system's processing load.

[0034] In some embodiments, computing device 200 may include processor 210, memory 220, input / output 230, and communication port 240. In some embodiments, the processor (e.g., CPU) 210 may execute program instructions as one or more processors.

Computing device 200 may also receive programs and data disclosed in this application via network communication.

[0035] For ease of understanding, Figure 2Only one processor is illustrated in the illustration. However, it should be noted that the computing device 200 in this embodiment may include multiple processors. Therefore, the operations and / or methods implemented by one processor as described in this embodiment may also be implemented jointly or independently by multiple processors. For example, if, in this application, the processor of computing device 200 executes operations A and B, it should be understood that operations A and B may also be executed jointly or independently by two different processors of computing device 200 (e.g., the first processor executes operation A, the second processor executes operation B, or the first and second processors jointly execute operations A and B).

[0036] Figure 3 This is an exemplary flowchart of a fabric finishing method according to some embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, process 300 can be executed by processing system 400. For example, process 300 can be stored in a storage device (such as the built-in storage unit of processing system 400 or an external storage device) in the form of a program or instructions, which, when executed, can implement process 300. Figure 3 As shown, process 300 may include the following operations.

[0037] Step 310: Obtain the area of ​​the fabric to be processed and the processing purpose corresponding to the area to be processed. This step can be performed by the acquisition module 410.

[0038] In some embodiments, the area to be processed and the corresponding processing purpose may be predetermined. For example, it may be input externally before processing the fabric and stored in advance in the processing system 400's built-in storage unit or external storage device. The acquisition module 710 can acquire the area to be processed and its corresponding processing purpose by communicating with the storage unit or storage device.

[0039] For example, taking the fabric as an example of a shoe upper, assuming the upper is used in athletic or outdoor footwear, the finishing of the upper may involve waterproofing, oil and stain resistance, abrasion and scratch resistance, UV protection, cooling, and antibacterial finishing. Different areas of the upper require different finishing. For example, the outer surface of the upper requires UV protection, certain areas such as the toe area require waterproofing, abrasion resistance, and UV protection, while the inner surface and tongue require moisture-wicking finishing. Before finishing the upper, the required functional finishing for specific areas can be obtained by the acquisition module 410 after external input.

[0040] Step 320: Based on the stated tidying purpose, determine the tidying pattern for the area to be tidyed. This step can be performed by the first determining module 420.

[0041] It is understood that the finishing pattern will change when the number of areas to be finished and the finishing purpose of each area changes. For example, when the fabric has one or more areas to be finished, and each area has the same finishing purpose (or single-function finishing), meaning all areas are given the same function, the finishing pattern can be defined as whole-area finishing, using a single-function additive to finish the entire area. As another example, when the fabric has one area to be finished, and the finishing purpose is multi-functional finishing, meaning multiple functions are assigned to the area, the finishing pattern can be defined as composite finishing. Multiple finishing agents can be combined to obtain a composite finishing agent for functional finishing of the area, assigning multiple functions to the area in a single finishing process. Alternatively, the finishing pattern can also be defined as layered finishing. Multiple finishing agents sequentially assign functions to the areas, thus giving the areas multiple functions. As yet another example, when the fabric has multiple areas to be finished, and each area has a different finishing purpose, the finishing pattern can be defined as zoned finishing. Each area to be processed is assigned a different function, thus giving different areas on the same fabric different functions.

[0042] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the tidying pattern and the tidying purpose of the area to be tidyed can be predetermined and stored in the form of a table. The first determining module 420 can directly index the tidying pattern from the tidying purpose of the area to be tidyed based on a table lookup method.

[0043] Step 330: Determine the functional additives and finishing parameters for the finishing mode. This step can be performed by the second determining module 430.

[0044] In some embodiments, the finishing of the fabric can be performed using digital inkjet printing equipment. Based on this, the functional additives and finishing parameters can be additives and parameters adapted to digital inkjet printing and capable of achieving the corresponding functional finishing. For example, the particle size of the functional additives must be such that they do not clog the nozzles or wear down the piezoelectric crystals of the printhead, and they need to have long-term dispersion stability. The viscosity, surface tension, pH, and content of each component of the functional additives also need to meet specific requirements. Furthermore, the absence of migration is also a specific hard indicator; the functional additives only function in the printing area and do not diffuse into non-printing areas. Simultaneously, the bonding strength with the specific woven yarns of the fabric is also considered. The corresponding finishing parameters, including but not limited to the supply method of the functional additives, the finishing agents corresponding to different areas to be finished, the printing sequence of different finishing agents, the printhead height, printhead temperature, printhead negative pressure, droplet size, ink output, ink temperature, printing speed, jetting frequency, pre-drying temperature / time, and fixing temperature / time, can be considered as components of the finishing parameters.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second determining module 430 may utilize a machine learning-based parameter determination model to determine the functional additive and the optimization parameters. As an exemplary but not limiting illustration, the parameter determination model may include logistic regression models, decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting trees (such as XGBoost / LightGBM / CatBoost, etc.), support vector machines (SVM), KNN, Naive Bayes, AdaBoost, neural network models (such as CNN, RNN, AlexNet, VGGNet, ResNet, DenseNet, LSTM, GRU, Transformer, ViT, BERT, GCN, etc.), or any combination thereof. After training, the additive determining model and the parameter optimization model may be stored, for example, in the processing system 400's built-in storage unit or an external storage device, such as storage device 140. The second determining module 430 may communicate with the built-in storage unit or external storage device via network 150 to obtain the additive determining model and the parameter optimization model, used to determine the functional additive and the optimization parameters.

[0046] The training of the auxiliary agent determination model and the parameter optimization model can be performed using a large number of training samples. For example, a large amount of empirical data in the textile industry, such as which functional auxiliaries and finishing parameters are used for which functional finishes, can be used for training. Relevant functional finishes can be used as input, while the corresponding functional auxiliaries and finishing parameters can be used as the training ground truth. Based on the difference between the model's output and the training ground truth, the model parameters (e.g., learning rate, weights, biases, etc.) can be adjusted using backpropagation. Training can be stopped when preset conditions are met (e.g., the number of training epochs reaches a predetermined number, or the accuracy of the output results reaches a preset threshold, such as 99.5%). The final model obtained is the parameter determination model.

[0047] In some embodiments, the parameter determination model can determine different functional additives for different finishing modes, thus defining the finishing parameters. For example, when performing a full-area finishing, the functional additive may include a single, defined finishing agent, and the corresponding finishing parameters may include specific printing and curing parameters. When performing a composite finishing, the functional additive may be a composite finishing agent obtained by combining multiple finishing agents. The corresponding finishing parameters may at least indicate the supply method of the composite finishing agent. One example is that the multifunctional finishing of the fabric includes cooling finishing, UV protection finishing, and three-proof finishing. The finishing agent may at least include a cooling agent, a UV protectant, and a three-proof additive, and the resulting composite finishing agent includes a mixture of the cooling agent, the UV protectant, the three-proof additive, and a dispersant in a dispersion medium. When the cooling agent is determined to be a powder material such as nanoparticles and / or a phase change material such as a microencapsulated phase change material, a stepped pressure filtration system (e.g., sequentially passing through 10μm, 5μm, and 2μm filter bags) will be used during printing to prevent microcapsule rupture and nanoparticle clogging of the printhead. An on-demand ink circulation system will be used to keep the ink (i.e., the functional additive) suspended to maintain long-term dispersion. When performing layered finishing, the functional additive may also include multiple finishing agents, as well as a protective agent for forming a functional protection over the area to be finished. The corresponding finishing parameters can at least indicate the printing order of the multiple finishing agents and the protective agent. It is understood that the printing order of different finishing agents during multiple finishing processes will affect the final finishing effect. For example, when multifunctional finishing includes antibacterial finishing and moisture-wicking finishing, the determined finishing agents may include antibacterial agents and moisture-wicking agents. Different antibacterial agents have different properties; for example, quaternary ammonium salt organic antibacterial agents are hydrophilic but have poor wash resistance. While nano-silver antibacterial agents offer good durability, they may agglomerate, affecting the feel of the fabric, and are costly. Therefore, during layered finishing, the determined finishing parameters can indicate the following steps: first, a quaternary ammonium salt organic antibacterial agent is sprayed; then, a hydrophilic moisture-wicking agent is sprayed; and finally, a protective layer is sprayed to protect the underlying antibacterial and moisture-wicking layers, thus improving durability. When performing zoned finishing, the finishing purpose of each area is different, and therefore the finishing agent sprayed will also differ. The finishing parameters can at least indicate the finishing agent required for each area. The determined finishing agent exhibits no migration, thereby achieving multi-functional finishing of different areas on the same fabric.

[0048] Step 340: The fabric is finished based on the functional additives and the finishing parameters. This step can be performed by execution module 440.

[0049] In some embodiments, the execution module 440 can generate control instructions adapted to the digital inkjet printing equipment based on the functional additive and the finishing parameters. The control instructions can be sent by the execution module 440 to the digital inkjet printing equipment performing the specific finishing process to control the printing of the functional additive onto the area to be finished under the finishing parameters. For example, after importing a specific printing pattern (corresponding to different areas to be finished) into the digital inkjet printing equipment, the corresponding functional additive can be sprayed with the specific finishing parameters to complete the finishing of the fabric to be finished.

[0050] The following description provides examples through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following description is not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0051] Example 1: A polyester shoe upper with a focus on "three protections at the toe" and "moisture absorption and wicking inside the shoe" in a zoned design.

[0052] Example 1 provides an exemplary description of how to achieve waterproof, oil-proof, and stain-proof (three-proof) functions in the toe area (prone to dirt), and moisture-wicking functions in the inner side of the upper and the tongue area (prone to sweat).

[0053] 1. Determination of functional additives: including inks with three-proof additives and inks with moisture-wicking additives.

[0054] Among them, the three-proof additive ink includes: Functional additives: A C6 structure fluorine-based waterproof and oil-repellent agent is used, with an amount of 12% of the total weight of the ink; Adhesive: A polyurethane adhesive (anionic waterborne polyurethane dispersion) with good adhesion to polyester (PET) is selected at a dosage of 8% to improve wash resistance; Dispersion medium: a mixed solution of deionized water and isopropanol (mass ratio 85:15), accounting for 78% of the total; Dispersant and other additives: 0.5% wetting agent (acetylenic diol surfactant) and 1.5% viscosity modifier (sodium polyacrylate) are added to ensure good printing smoothness and droplet shape.

[0055] Specific preparation process: The above components were stirred at 1500 rpm for 30 minutes in a high-speed disperser, and then filtered through a 1μm filter. The resulting ink had a viscosity of 14-16 cP (25°C), a surface tension of 28-32 mN / m, and a pH of 7-8, which met the requirements of the printhead.

[0056] Moisture-wicking inks include: Functional additives: A hydrophilic polyurethane and nano-silica composite finishing agent (Hunsmay® moisture-absorbing and quick-drying agent) is used at a dosage of 15%; Adhesive: A modified acrylic adhesive is selected, with a dosage of 5%, to provide a certain degree of strength while avoiding excessive impact on hydrophilicity; Dispersion medium: Deionized water, accounting for 78.5%; Other additives: 1% pH stabilizer (triethanolamine) and 0.5% defoamer are added; The specific preparation process is similar to that of the three-proof additive inks mentioned above. The resulting ink has a viscosity of 13-15 cP, a surface tension of 30-34 mN / m, and a pH of 7-8.

[0057] 2. Determining the processing parameters (printing process parameters), including: The base material is 300D high-density polyester mesh fabric for the shoe upper, and the digital printing equipment used is an industrial-grade digital inkjet printer (using a Starlight SG1024 printhead).

[0058] The determined finishing parameters include: printhead height: 1.5 mm; printing speed: 25 m / min; droplet size: using level 4 (medium droplet) out of 7 gray levels; jetting frequency: 12 kHz; drying and curing: immediately after printing, it enters the 60°C hot air pre-drying zone (30 seconds), and then bakes at 150°C for 90 seconds to allow the binder to fully cross-link and cure.

[0059] 3. Zonal printing design and functional synergy: Design: Import the shoe pattern into the digital inkjet printing control software and create two spot color channels: "Three-Protection Zone" (covering the toe and outer side of the shoe that are prone to getting dirty) and "Moisture Absorption Zone" (the area on the instep).

[0060] Printing: The equipment sprays the corresponding auxiliary inks into the designated areas according to the design documents. To resolve the conflict between hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, a sequential printing method is adopted to form a gradient structure: First, a moisture-wicking underlayer is printed on the entire reverse side of the shoe upper (including the subsequent three-proof zones). After curing, the three-proof auxiliary inks are precisely superimposed and printed on the front three-proof zones. In this way, a hydrophobic layer is formed on the surface of the three-proof zones, while the hydrophilic layer of the moisture-wicking zone directly contacts the fibers and penetrates to the front of the fabric, achieving functional separation and synergy.

[0061] 4. Effect Test: The polyester shoe uppers treated according to the method of Example 1 were subjected to zonal testing and compared with samples treated by the traditional whole-body padding method (first, the shoe upper is soaked in moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking liquid, and then soaked in three-proof treatment liquid after curing).

[0062] Test standards and methods: Water resistance: AATCC 22-2017 Water resistance test (spray method), scoring system (0-100 points).

[0063] Oil resistance: AATCC 118-2017 Resistance to hydrocarbon liquids test, grade system (1-8).

[0064] Moisture absorption and quick-drying properties: GB / T 21655.2-2019 Evaluation of moisture absorption and quick-drying properties of textiles - Part 2: Dynamic moisture transfer method. Core indicators: water absorption rate (% / % / s), evaporation rate (g / h).

[0065] Washability: Following GB / T 12490-2014, a standard AATCC washing machine was used with standard detergent at 40°C. Functional retention was tested after different number of washes.

[0066] Functional area boundary clarity: The diffusion width of the functional ink at the boundary was observed and measured using a high-resolution digital microscope.

[0067] The evaluation data results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0068] Table 1 Evaluation Test Results As shown in Table 1 above, the partitioned inkjet printing method of this application not only outperforms the traditional mixed padding method in all aspects of individual functional indicators of each region, but also successfully solves the functional antagonism problem (the moisture-absorbing area is completely hydrophilic), and exhibits better durability and precise localization capability.

[0069] Example 2: A polyester shoe upper that achieves a composite function of "cooling sensation + UV protection + basic three-proof".

[0070] Example 2 provides a combination of multiple functions on the entire shoe upper, with an emphasis on cooling and UV protection.

[0071] 1. Determination of functional additives: including cooling agents, UV protectants, and three-proof additives.

[0072] The cooling agent consists of natural mica powder with high thermal conductivity and xylitol microcapsules, with a total usage of 10%.

[0073] The UV protectant is a compound of nano zinc oxide (UVB band) and surface-treated titanium dioxide (UVA band), with an amount of 8%.

[0074] The three-proof additive is a fluorinated acrylate copolymer (which combines waterproofing and adhesion), with a dosage of 10%.

[0075] The dispersion system employs a special block copolymer dispersant to ensure stable dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles (mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) even at high concentrations, preventing sedimentation and agglomeration. The dispersion medium is a water / ethylene glycol butyl ether mixture.

[0076] The specific preparation process is similar to that in Example 1. Final ink properties: viscosity 13-16 cP, surface tension 26-30 mN / m, particle size D90 < 500 nm.

[0077] 2. Determining the processing parameters (printing process parameters), including: To prevent microcapsule rupture and nanoparticle clogging of the printhead, a stepped pressure filtration system (passing through 10μm, 5μm, and 2μm filter bags sequentially) is employed, along with an on-demand ink circulation system to maintain ink suspension. Curing process: A two-stage curing method is used. First, a medium-temperature drying process at 80°C is employed to evaporate moisture and form a preliminary film. Then, a low-temperature baking process at 125°C (to prevent microcapsule melting) for 120 seconds is used to fully form the fluorinated copolymer film and encapsulate the functional particles.

[0078] 3. Collaborative design of composite sorting functions: Synergistic Mechanism: Nano-zinc oxide and titanium dioxide themselves have high infrared reflectivity. Together with mica powder, they enhance the fabric's solar reflectivity, thus improving the instant cooling sensation. The thin film formed on the surface by the fluorinated copolymer not only provides basic waterproof, airtight, and shockproof properties but also fixes functional particles. At the same time, its low surface energy characteristics help sweat spread and evaporate quickly, indirectly contributing to the cooling sensation.

[0079] 4. Effect Test: The polyester shoe uppers treated according to the method of Example 2 were tested and compared with samples that only underwent cooling treatment or UV protection treatment to verify the synergy and independence of the functional composite.

[0080] Test standards and methods: Coolness sensation: GB / T 35263-2017 Test and evaluation of the instantaneous cooling sensation of textiles upon contact, report the contact cooling sensation coefficient (Q-max value, unit: W / cm²).

[0081] UV protection: GB / T 18830-2009 Evaluation of the UV protection performance of textiles, reporting the UV protection factor (UPF) and UVA transmittance (%).

[0082] Water resistance: AATCC 22-2017, rating.

[0083] Color fastness to light and perspiration: GB / T 14576-2009, evaluating functional durability (color change).

[0084] Infrared reflectance: The average reflectance in the 780-2500 nm band was measured using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer with an integrating sphere to correlate with the cooling mechanism.

[0085] The evaluation data results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0086] Table 2 Evaluation Test Results II As shown in Table 2 above, this application achieves the synergistic coexistence of three functions—cooling sensation, UV protection, and basic three-proof protection—through formula compounding and process design. Not only is there no mutual weakening of performance, but a synergistic enhancement effect of "1+1>2" is produced in the cooling performance.

[0087] Example 3: The impact of printing sequence and stacking structure on functional synergy in layer finishing.

[0088] Example 3 illustrates how controlling the printing sequence and layering structure can solve the functional antagonism problem, enabling both durable antibacterial properties and hydrophilic sweat absorption in the shoe lining area.

[0089] 1. Determination of functional additives: including quaternary ammonium salt organic antibacterial agents and hydrophilic polyurethane moisture-wicking additives.

[0090] 2. Determining the processing parameters (printing process parameters), including: Layered inkjet printing structure design: First layer (bottom layer): Printed with a pretreatment solution containing wash-resistant silane quaternary ammonium salt. This additive has a small molecular weight, allowing it to penetrate deep into the fiber gaps and bond with the polyester surface through a chemical reaction, providing a durable antibacterial base. This layer is very thin, with an inkjet volume of only 30% of the conventional amount.

[0091] The second layer (intermediate functional layer): printed with hydrophilic polyurethane moisture-wicking agent. This layer constitutes the main moisture-absorbing and wicking network.

[0092] The third layer (surface protective layer): A topcoat containing a lightweight fluorinated acrylate is printed using an extremely low droplet volume ("dragonfly skimming" mode). The purpose of this layer is not to provide strong waterproofing, but to form an extremely thin, non-dense (microporous) protective film on the surface.

[0093] This protective film partially "anchors" the hydrophilic antibacterial components of the lower layer to the fibers, reducing their loss during washing and significantly improving the durability of the antibacterial function (the number of washes increases from 10 to more than 30). At the same time, due to its discontinuous and porous structure, it has minimal impact on the hydrophilicity and breathability of the fabric (the moisture permeability decreases by <5%).

[0094] 3. Effect Test: The shoe linings prepared according to different layering structure schemes in Example 3 were tested.

[0095] A comparison of test plans, including: Scheme A (Comparative Example 1): Single-layer inkjet printing ink that mixes common quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agents and hydrophilic additives.

[0096] Option B (Example 3): Three-layer printing, as described in Example 3 (bottom reactive antibacterial agent, middle hydrophilic layer, and top thin protective layer).

[0097] Option C (Comparative Example 2): First spray the hydrophilic layer, then spray the antibacterial layer containing nano-silver.

[0098] Test standards and methods: Antimicrobial properties: GB / T 20944.3-2008 Evaluation of antimicrobial properties of textiles - Part 3: Shaking method. Report the inhibition rate (%) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

[0099] Antibacterial durability: The antibacterial rate was tested after different number of washes (5, 10, 20, 30 times).

[0100] Hygroscopicity (water absorption rate): Same as in Example 1.

[0101] Air permeability: GB / T 5453-1997 Textiles - Determination of air permeability of fabrics.

[0102] Feel: Professional reviewers conducted a blind evaluation (1-5 points, the higher the score, the softer the feel).

[0103] The evaluation data results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0104] Table 3 Evaluation Test Results (Part 3) As shown in Table 3 above, the "bottom reactive anchoring - intermediate functional main layer - thin surface protection" layered inkjet printing structure of Example 3 demonstrates its excellent effect in resolving the contradiction between functional durability and performance compatibility. While ensuring excellent initial function, it significantly improves the durability (antibacterial properties) of functions that are not washable, and maximizes the protection of the fabric's core performance characteristics (moisture absorption, breathability, and hand feel).

[0105] The fabric finishing method disclosed in this application uses digital inkjet printing to precisely apply finishing agents to the areas of the fabric to be finished, and can impart different functions to different areas to be finished, greatly enhancing the added value of the fabric.

[0106] It should be noted that the above-mentioned Figure 3 The descriptions of the various steps in this application are merely for illustrative purposes and do not limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can learn from the guidance of this application. Figure 3 Various modifications and changes have been made to the various steps in the process. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of this application.

[0107] Figure 4 These are exemplary block diagrams of a processing system implementing the above-described fabric finishing method, according to some embodiments of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the processing system 400 may include an acquisition module 410, a first determination module 420, a second determination module 430, and an execution module 440.

[0108] The acquisition module 410 can be configured to acquire the area of ​​the fabric to be processed and the corresponding processing purpose of the area to be processed. The area to be processed and the corresponding processing purpose can be predetermined. For example, it can be input externally before processing the fabric and stored in advance in the built-in storage unit or external storage device of the processing system 400. The acquisition module 410 can acquire the area to be processed and its corresponding processing purpose by communicating with the storage unit or storage device.

[0109] The first determining module 420 can be configured to determine a sorting pattern for the area to be sorted based on the sorting purpose. The correspondence between the sorting pattern and the sorting purpose of the area to be sorted can be predetermined and stored in the form of a table. The first determining module 420 can directly index the sorting pattern from the sorting purpose of the area to be sorted by looking up the table.

[0110] The second determining module 430 can be configured to determine the functional additives and finishing parameters for the finishing mode. The second determining module 430 can utilize a machine learning-based parameter determination model to determine the functional additives and finishing parameters.

[0111] The execution module 440 can be configured to treat the fabric based on the functional additive and the finishing parameters. The execution module 440 can generate control instructions adapted to the digital inkjet printing equipment based on the functional additive and the finishing parameters. These control instructions can be sent by the execution module 440 to the digital inkjet printing equipment performing the specific finishing process to control the printing of the functional additive onto the area to be treated under the finishing parameters.
