Technical textiles replace conventional technologies

Smart textiles: wearable textiles with intelligent functions

Smart Textiles & wearable Textiles manufactured by Embro

There is nothing Smart Textiles cannot do! Intelligent textiles (also known as smart textiles, wearable textiles, conductive textiles, or e-textiles) conduct, heat, transmit, receive, measure and can even glow while maintaining their textile properties. Stretchable, conductive tapes and textile structures are created using technical embroidery.

Smart textiles combine all the advantages of textiles with a technical function. The technology remains (almost) invisible and still offers great potential for your ideas.

Together with you, we develop intelligent textiles for your innovative ideas for functional textile applications.

Heated jackets, shoes, and gloves are just the beginning. Smart textiles have almost limitless applications, for example in medicine and sports, where they can monitor vital functions or stimulate muscles. The automotive industry and aerospace industry have also recognised the potential of e-textiles and are increasingly using smart fabrics and intelligent textiles to implement technical functions.

Functional textiles are the future! We are happy to bring our experience to new projects and look for solutions that others cannot find.

Smart textiles for more occupational safety manufactured by Embro

Smart textiles for more occupational safety

Smart textiles are playing an increasingly important role when it comes to improving safety in the workplace and promoting people’s well-being. These innovative textiles combine traditional materials with modern technologies. They offer numerous intelligent functions that collect and analyse information in real time. This enables potential hazards to be identified at an early stage and measures to be taken to prevent accidents at work or minimise health risks.

Particularly in industries with high physical demands or hazardous working environments, smart textiles enable continuous monitoring of health parameters and precise recording of movement patterns and environmental conditions. From recognising states of exhaustion to early warning of hazardous substances, smart textiles make a decisive contribution to a safe and healthy working environment.

Health and well-being

  • States of exhaustion
  • Posture
  • Breathing rate
  • Skin temperature

Environmental conditions

  • Ambient temperature
  • Chemical exposure
  • Electric fields
  • Noise level

Movement & Stress

  • Movement patterns & posture
  • Loads and movement
  • Vibrations
  • Falls and collisions

Safety and hazards

  • Heat and smoke exposure
  • Hazardous materials
  • Environmental condition
  • Emergency detection

Hygiene and protective clothing

  • Hygiene standards
  • Service life & wear condition of protective clothing

Do you have an idea where smart functions, for example in work clothing or safety helmets, offer workers more safety? We would be happy to develop a production-ready product with you and for you.

Flexible Electronics: PCBs & conductor tracks for your products

We Embroider Circuits and Conductor Tracks on Flexible Substrates

You define the dimension and your specific requirements, e.g. B. in terms of flexibility, temperature resistance, or robustness to the flexible printed circuit boards that you need for your industrial application.

Together with you, we select the right carrier material and develop an optimal layout for the dimensions and purpose of your textile circuit board. We place flexible conductor tracks on textile and other flexible carrier materials. We fix the conductor tracks with our innovative embroidery technology. This is how precise circuits and flexible electronics are created for your innovative products.

We design the final layout of your flexible electronics once using our CAD software. Then our machines manufacture your textile electronic components with high productivity and repeat accuracy in small and large series.

Flexible electronics & circuit boards from the manufacturer Embro

Make Your Innovative Products More Competitive with Flexible Printed Circuit Boards!

Take advantage of the benefits of flexible electronics:

  • Almost unlimited dimensions and almost any size and shape of circuits and conductor tracks can be defined (e.g. 2,500 x 1,500mm)
  • Flexible, highly conductive, and at the same time robust: durable and reliable function under various conditions
  • Temperature-resistant and reliable: efficient even in extreme environments
  • Temperature resistant and reliable: efficient in extreme environment
  • If required, corrosion resistant and reliable for outdoor use thanks to partial coating with polymer pastes
  • Economical to manufacture Efficient and cost-effective to manufacture through the use of innovative embroidery technologies

Technical embroidery: This is how intelligent textiles are created

Smart Textiles unterstützen Komfort für Smart Living

Using computer-controlled embroidery machines specially designed for technical embroidery, we lay and fix conductive threads, strands, wires, or heating conductors on textile carrier materials. The embroidery technique enables a permanent and highly flexible connection of the conductors to the carrier material. This is how smart textiles are created for a wide range of applications.

Find out more about the manufacturing process of your smart textiles and technical embroidery at Embro.

Using the embroidery process, we can lay, among other things, the finest strands (down to 0.04 mm), coated threads, optical fibers, tubes, or other sensitive materials with the highest precision and reproducibility, which are difficult or impossible to process with other manufacturing processes.

A key advantage is the free choice of material and carrier materials.

Together with you, we develop embroidered technical textiles that are perfect for your application and further processing of your products.

The technology of technical embroidery offers you decisive advantages over conventional manufacturing processes:

✓ Smart textiles are highly conductive and at the same time flexible, stretchy and kink-resistant
✓ Computer-controlled embroidery machines guarantee maximum precision and reproducibility
✓ The finest strands (down to 0.04 mm) and sensitive materials can be processed
✓ The shape, size, conductor, and carrier materials can be freely defined
✓ Conductive textiles can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively
