Increasingly, they are setting Manufacturers of clothing and equipment for sports and leisure They are focusing on intelligent tracking systems in their products. This involves equipping helmets, gloves, and other items with useful additional functions. For example, ski goggles can then record data, or helmets can capture information about the athlete.

The diversity of applications offered by manufacturers knows almost no bounds and is constantly being adapted to customer needs. However, developers in different industries often ask themselves the same questions:

How does the data transfer work in Smart textiles, wearables and e-textiles?

Embro's response to that is flexible connecting elementsDepending on the desired length of the supply line, the following occurs. Embroidery of an elastic pattern onto a stretchy bandThe layouts can be linear or arbitrarily complex with curves according to the developer's specifications. If multiple connections are required for data transfer, a double wire is laid and fixed to the carrier tape.

How is the functional unit or tracker powered?

In addition to embroidered wires for data transfer, Embro also produces electrical supply lines as flexible strips The desired wire diameter should not exceed 1 mm. The corresponding voltage and current are individually adjusted during the manufacturing process. Suitable connectors and terminals are available pre-assembled upon request. This ensures optimal and reliable power supply to the customer's component.
