Techniques for operating a loom to produce multiple different textiles during a single operation of the loom. Conventionally, a loom produces a single textile during each single operation of the loom. When producing multiple different textiles during a single operation of the loom, a single run of the mill may generate the multiple different textiles for multiple different customers. In some embodiments, during a single operation of a loom, the loom may generate a single piece of loom-finished fabric that includes multiple different textiles for multiple different customers and, following the single run of the mill, the single piece of loom-finished fabric may be cut apart to yield the different textiles, which may be one, two, more than five, more than ten, or any suitable number of different textiles for any suitable number of different customers. |

1. A method of producing an aggregate textile comprising a plurality of different textiles that a plurality of different customers requested be produced, the method comprising:
operating at least one processor to carry out acts of:
receiving information describing each textile of the plurality of different textiles to be produced, the information comprising, for each textile of the plurality of different textiles, one or more quality attributes for the textile;evaluating quality attributes for each of the plurality of different textiles to identify two or more textiles of the plurality of different textiles having matching quality attributes; andgenerating a specification for the aggregate textile based on the information describing the two or more textiles, the specification of the aggregate textile including at least some of the quality attributes for the two or more textiles and specifying that the aggregate textile is to be woven by weaving the two or more textiles in a series during a single run of a loom. |
