Techtextil to show latest developments in textile sensors

Even the steel skin of the container did not impair communication. The ‘iBePol’ project builds on these developments and is intended for use in apparel systems for both civilian and protective use. It is also intended to integrate sensors for hazardous substances.

The Swiss company Forster Rohner is using an age old textile technology; its Textile Innovations division is working with development partners to create highly innovative textiles on ultramodern, high-tech embroidery machines. They develop and produce functional textiles for their clients based on embroidery technology.

Examples are the production of textile-based sensory surfaces, heating elements or antennae structures in addition to the incorporation of LEDs and solar cells. These products are mostly the result of cooperative development and are to a large extent subject to confidentiality; anyone interested is advised to contact the company directly.

Techtextil offers the best opportunity to do this. Ultimately all innovations and research projects are presented live for you to see and experience at Techtextil from 11 to 13 June and at the Texprocess trade fair that is being held in parallel.
