Swedish innovation on the horizon
With constant integration and appliance of new technology, together with our joint expertise TMAS companies will keep on contributing to a sustainable and profitable textile industry.
Swedish innovation in textile machinery
Swedish companies are at the forefront of innovation in textile machinery. They are known for creating innovative solutions to industry challenges and invest heavily in research and development. Sustainability is an important focus and starting point for new innovations designed to be energy efficient, flexible, intelligent, scalable and create high quality products while keeping chemical, energy and water usage at a minimum.
Sustainability – challenge and opportunity
With constant integration and appliance of new technology together with our joint expertise, TMAS companies will keep on contributing to a sustainable and profitable textile industry. Change is the key word in our industry right now. Sustainability is both the biggest challenge and opportunity we are faced with. The priority and focus is on digitalization and speed to market as well as to contribute to a circular textile industry. The need for automation is increasing and the demand for smarter solutions is here to stay. To incorporate internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence will be a big movement in the coming years. It’s about providing machine data in real-time as well as a higher degree of flexibility in production, in order to make minimum production runs profitable and there is now a focus on just-in-time production.
Today, business is about much more than just supplying a machine or technology for the TMAS member companies. We have to understand and be prepared to integrate with procurement, administration, production and stock handling systems in order to create a complete, intelligent system and efficient processes for our customers. This, of course, means working closely with customers – supplying a flow of ideas on efficiency, quality improvements, reduced waste and adapting for automation.
Automation & AI
Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and automation are becoming increasingly important in the textile industry. New Swedish machines and software will help streamline production and improve efficiency. Among the benefits, you will see improvements in quality control as AI-powered systems can help detect defects in fabric and garments during the manufacturing process, optimized product design, as well as automated help to prevent downtime and solve the escalating challanges with sorting of textiles for reuse, remake or recycle.
Digital dyeing & finishing
Innovative Swedish Engineering has developed technology to significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional dyeing and finishing. Manufacturers are realizing energy cost savings of more than 35-50% for gas and electricity. Reductions in dyestuff, chemicals and water and increases in productivity are not only good for the environment but provide a positive impact to the bottom line.
Reshoring
Shorter delivery times, reduced logistics costs and a reduced carbon footprint are some of the reasons why companies today are considering reshoring to an even greater extent. Previously labour-intensive production processes can now be automated using Swedish technology, making the move closer to your home market a greater advantage. A great security when uncertainties in the global supply chain are exposed through the pandemic and political tensions.
