Daily Production of Six Thousand Domestically Designed 3D Masks via Artificial Intelligence

According to Dr. Mohammad Shirmohammadi, CEO of Palayeh Gostar-e-Simorgh-e-Iranian Company, the company’s eleven years of activity underwent dramatic transformation during the coronavirus pandemic. The production rate, in particular, underwent the most radical change. Before the coronavirus pandemic, the average number of masks manufactured daily was approximately five to six thousand, whereas following the pandemic, the number rose eightfold and forty thousand masks were manufactured during the first phase. At the onset of the pandemic in Iran, all the necessary steps were taken to tackle the dearth of masks and other required supplies, which ultimately made a daily production of sixty-five thousand masks possible during the second phase. The company is oriented towards tailor-made or customized masks suited for different needs and purposes. 

Dr. Shirmohammadi added that in view of some problems related to the size of imported masks from Southeast Asian countries and European countries, Palayeh Gostar-e-Simorgh-e-Iranian employed artificial intelligence and an image processing software to optimize and redesign masks tailor-made for Iranian faces. These domestically designed and manufactured 3D masks sit well on the face without having any contact with the mouth, and are satisfactory in terms of both aesthetics and efficiency.
