BMSvision at Techtextil 2022

BMSvision will be exhibiting at TECHTEXTIL 2022 in Frankfurt with a stand in the Belgium National Pavilion in Hall 12.0, Stand D35, focusing on automatic on-loom fabric inspection, Industry 4.0 and energy monitoring solutions for the entire textile value chain.

BMSvision has been a pioneer in the field of camera based on-loom inspection systems. Since the introduction of Cyclops 20 years ago, hundreds of looms are equipped with Cyclops for the on-line quality control of airbag, coating fabrics and many other technical fabrics. With its new product Argus, BMSvision again pushes the boundaries of automatic inspection as it extends the possibilities from inspection of plain fabrics towards complex Jacquard fabrics, such as OPW airbag.

Through intelligent wireless networking of all production equipment in the mill, the BMSvision MES solution transfers the huge amount of production and quality data originating from the various processes to a central data base and translates it into meaningful information for the managers.

The BMSvision MES suite of applications includes software modules for real time monitoring, Business Intelligence (BI), scheduling, maintenance, quality, ... The Management Dashboard application allows the combined presentation of data from different software modules into one single web-based report showing all KPI’s at a glance. The MyMES app, available for both Android and iOS, allows consulting of all important production and quality data any time, anywhere.

With ever rising energy prices, consumption of energy has become a very critical cost component in the entire textile production chain. EnergyMaster, one of the modules of the BMSvision MES solution, makes all energy streams in the plant transparent and allows to allocate the exact energy cost to each production batch. Excessive consumptions or consumptions while the machine is idle, are immediately detected and highlighted.

As hubs for innovation and knowledge, they enhance competitiveness and offer orientation in changing markets. From 21 to 24 April 2026, Frankfurt is once again the global meeting point for thought leaders from industry, research and business.

Enhanced protection without added weight: Innovative technology for flame-retardant textiles doubles reaction time and ensures high wearing comfort

Flame-retardant textiles have long faced the same dilemma: the higher the level of protection, the greater the compromise in comfort, weight and breathability. This is especially important for workwear and protective clothing worn for long hours, where comfort is crucial to wearer acceptance and satisfaction. At Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt, Swiss company Textilcolor AG will unveil pyroshell™, an innovative flame-retardant technology designed to tackle this challenge. Protection is provided by a graphite-based functional layer integrated into the textile structure, which doubles the reaction time before burns occur while significantly enhancing comfort. The material does not release any toxic fumes and offers textile manufacturers entirely new opportunities to design and produce protective and functional garments. It is also durable enough to withstand up to 50 industrial washes.

JEC WORLD 2026 opens: Paris becomes the World Capital of composites

JEC World 2026 opens tomorrow, March 10, at Paris Nord Villepinte, bringing together the entire composites ecosystem for three days of exhibitions, conferences, technical sessions, strategic industry gatherings, and business meetings. As the “festival of composites”, JEC World is also a destination for a broad spectrum of other professional visitors, eager to discover how these advanced materials can offer sustainable solutions to their industries.

Barmag presents the next generation of POY production – energy-efficient and partial-automated

With POY 2.0, Barmag is introducing a completely redesigned spinning concept that takes the production of partially oriented yarn (POY) to a new level in terms of technology and economy. The solution, which was presented to a selected audience of experts for the first time at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, was met with great enthusiasm: several yarn producers worldwide immediately expressed their interest in a pilot plant.
