Presentation Title:
-
Production of E-Textiles – Challenges & Best Practice
Presentation Summary:
-
The production or manufacturing of Smart Textiles is seriously different from the previous methods of textile production. This is where two worlds meet. This means that textile producers must be open to new production methods and processes and machines. Much more than ever before, a very close interaction with the customer is necessary already in the development phase to achieve the best product. In addition, there are new norms and standards as well as certifications that must be adhered to on the part of developers and producers. In this presentation we share our experience from the last years as well as our best-practice we have learned from it.
