Smart textiles will change the world and human life
Technological Breakthroughs
In recent years we have seen enormous developments in digital technology. The performance of data transmission and processing is still growing exponentially.
In the next few years we will all be surprised by technological changes and breakthroughs in the textile industry. This is especially interesting in regard to new smart clothes and engineered fabrics. Research institutes and leading companies worldwide are working every day on pioneering solutions bringing attractive new concepts to the market.
Consumer Advantages
In the smart clothes sector this opens up completely new possibilities for consumers by allowing them to wear intelligent wearables which are truly useful to them. These kinds of clothes will change our life considerably, just like smart phones, tablets and other gadgets did in the recent past.
In a few years from now smart clothes become the norm and we will not want to miss them anymore. In the future, for example, underwear will play an increasingly important role for continuous monitoring of vital bodily functions. Breathing, heart rate and muscle tension are indicators of your health status. One can imagine that fatigue detection systems and new active safety systems can be developed to prevent dangerous or life-threatening situations.
Broad Applications
Smart textiles will open up completely new and as yet unknown paths and will be used for many different applications. The same will be true for deep sea ropes communication in real time, carbon fiber components for space exploration (as in heat shields or space suits), smart upholstery, safety belts and many other uses.
We are proud to play an active role in these interesting and demanding industries. Our products help to fulfill the highest quality benchmarks in manufacturing breakthrough technical fabrics and smart textiles.
