Shaping the Future of the Carpet Industry with Artificial Intelligence
As the first outcome of this collaboration, we have developed an AI-powered design assistant that enables our designers to reinterpret existing carpet patterns within seconds and co-create entirely new designs together with our customers. By augmenting human creativity with artificial intelligence, we aim to accelerate product development while delivering more customer-centric and innovative designs.
This collaboration is focused not only on addressing today's needs but also on shaping the future of the industry. The next generation of AI systems being developed will analyze global market dynamics, evolving consumer expectations, emerging design trends, and technological advancements to support the creation of new patterns and innovative product concepts.
Our long-term vision extends even further. By combining artificial intelligence with advanced materials, we aim to pioneer a new era in the carpet industry through the development of intelligent carpets that redefine functionality and user experience.
The project brings together ZEKI's multidisciplinary team of AI researchers and engineers in Berlin with talented interns from Türkiye, fostering international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of next-generation expertise.
Through our Merinos brand, we believe that collaborations between academia and industry will play a pivotal role in accelerating innovation and transformation across the carpet sector. By embracing AI-driven manufacturing, design, and innovation, we remain committed to developing smarter products, more efficient processes, and solutions that deliver greater value to our customers.
Operating under the umbrella of Erdemoğlu Holding, Merinos is one of the world's leading manufacturers of woven and tufted carpets, backed by more than 50 years of industry experience. We manufacture for globally recognized brands across key markets, including the United States, Europe, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We are committed to strengthening this world-class manufacturing capability through continued investments in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, shaping the future of our industry
