Smart Textiles: Wearable textiles with intelligent functions

Smart textiles and wearable textiles from the manufacturer Embro

There is nothing that Smart textiles cannot! The intelligent textiles (also known as smart textiles, wearable textiles, conductive textiles or e-textiles) conduct, heat, send, receive, measure and can even to shine, while their textile properties are preserved remain. Technical embroidery creates stretchable, conductive tapes and textile structures.

Smart textiles combine all the advantages of textiles with a technical function. The technology remains (almost) invisible, yet 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, including in the... Medicine and in the Sportswhere, for example, they monitor vital functions or stimulate muscles. Also the Automotive Industry and the Aerospace have recognized the potential of e-textiles and are increasingly relying on smart fabrics and intelligent textiles to realize technical functions.

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

Technical embroidery: How smart textiles are created

Flexible electric heating elements for smart textiles from Embro

Using computer-controlled embroidery machines specifically designed for technical embroidery, we lay and fix conductive threads, strands, wires, or heating conductors onto textile substrates. Embroidery technology enables a permanent and highly flexible connection of the conductors to the substrate. This results in smart textiles for a wide range of applications.

Through the embroidery process, we are able to... highest precision and reproducibility amongst other things finest strands (up to 0,04 mm), coated threads, light guides, hoses or others sensitive materials to install materials that are difficult or impossible to process using other manufacturing methods.

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

Together with you, we develop embroidered technical textiles that perfect for your application and the Further processing in your products suitable.

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

✓ Smart textiles are highly conductive and yet flexible, stretchable and crease-resistant.
✓ Computer-controlled embroidery machines guarantee the highest precision and reproducibility
✓ The finest strands (down to 0,04 mm) and sensitive materials can be processed.
✓ Shape, size, ladder and support materials are freely definable
✓ Conductive textiles can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively.
