Shaping the Future of the Carpet Industry with Artificial Intelligence
By combining our more than 50 years of manufacturing expertise and design excellence with ZEKI's advanced research in Agentic AI, we are developing AI-powered systems that support our employees, increase operational efficiency, accelerate product development, and enhance the creativity of our design teams.
The first AI-powered design assistant developed within the scope of this collaboration enables our designers to reinterpret existing carpet patterns within seconds and co-create entirely new designs together with our customers. By combining human creativity with artificial intelligence, we aim to accelerate our product development processes while delivering more customer-centric designs.
This collaboration is focused not only on today's needs but also on the future of the industry. The next-generation AI systems being developed will analyze global market dynamics, evolving consumer expectations, emerging design trends, and technological advancements, contributing to the creation of new patterns and innovative product concepts.
Our long-term vision extends even further. By combining artificial intelligence technologies with innovative materials, we aim to pioneer a new era in the carpet industry through the development of smart carpets.
As part of this initiative, we are working closely with ZEKI's multidisciplinary team of AI researchers and engineers in Berlin. We are also strengthening knowledge exchange and international collaboration through the valuable contributions of talented intern students from Türkiye participating in the project.
At Merinos, we believe that collaborations bringing academia and industry together around shared goals will accelerate transformation across our sector. Through our AI-driven approach to manufacturing, design, and innovation, we will continue to develop solutions that deliver smarter products, more efficient processes, and greater added value for our customers.
As part of Erdemoğlu Holding, Merinos is among the world's leading manufacturers of woven and tufted carpets, backed by more than five decades of experience. We manufacture for globally recognized brands across numerous markets, particularly in the United States, Europe, and the MENA region. We are committed to carrying this strong manufacturing foundation into the future through continued investments in artificial intelligence and digitalization.
