SETEX at ITMA Barcelona 2019

SETEX's product pipeline has never been better. At the show, SETEX not only announced products that are just around the corner, but also outlined some of the products that are currently under development.

As expected, interest in the new controller E390 and C390 was high.

Their special feature apart from size and resolution: They use a swiping user interface for the top, middle and bottom of the screen, which provides the user with information and operation of the running process, without losing the overall view.

Intelligent software wizards allow program creation by drag-n-drop of dyeing charts.
Split screen for picture-in-picture representation of machine-specific functions and video monitoring make everyday production easier.
Integrated OPC/UA client and server makes it easy to get an overall plant overview and advanced communication capabilities with machines and the OrgaTEX MES software.

The concept of the SETEX stand as a unit for total solutions has worked.

It's not just about products, it's about management with the possibilities of Industry 4.0.

OrgaTEX BI analyzes show the influence of a machine, a process or the production environment on the production result.

OrgaTEX Energy Management and the power of the Plant Navigator algorithms balance the resource consumption of water, steam, gas and electricity with the production machines.

Costs of machine downtime and penalties for late deliveries affect the effectiveness of production. To prevent this, the OrgaTEX Maintenance Manager calculates when the best time for maintenance is. The integrated solution with condition monitoring of the machines, visualization at the controls and criteria evaluation in the MES system ensures, that maintenance work fits into the production process in sync with the detailed planning. Integrated digital machine documentation and recommended spare parts are contributing significantly to a more efficient production.

The new OrgaTEX-inteos Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) - sometimes referred to as production management - involves process execution along the entire textile production chain, from fiber to product and from recipe to delivery.

In response to the OEM customers, they have further developed the proven camera mount technology CamCount V3 to perform image and database analysis on a single SETEX C390 DIN rail mount controller.

SETEX turns dyeing and finishing data into daily production control

At ITM 2026, SETEX will show how textile mills can use machine, recipe, quality and energy data for more reliable daily production decisions — not as another reporting layer, but as part of the running dyeing and finishing process. With OrgaTEX X3 MES, E390x/C390x controllers, CamCOUNT and FabricInspector Portable, SETEX connects planning, machine execution and fabric-related quality insight within existing mill structures.

From Smart Control to Zero Waste: SETEX sets the pace for 2025

Sustainability and efficiency decide orders today. Buyers ask for less CO?, less water, clean data. SETEX delivers the process to match: predictive quality with SmartRecipe, active energy control and consistent KPIs from broad machine connectivity. KPIs and savings you can verify with OrgaTEX X3 and E390/C390 controller. Visitors can see it live at SETEX on the ITMA ASIA in Singapore, Hall H7 A204 (German Pavilion).

SETEX streamlines complex processes for faster & smarter textile production

As the textile industry evolves towards sustainability, efficiency, and smart manufacturing, SETEX addresses these issues with advanced solutions designed to simplify complex processes and boost efficiency. At ITMA ASIA 2024, SETEX will showcase technologies that are transforming production floors into sustainable and digitally connected environments.

Monforts sees growing potential for technical textiles in Türkiye

For many years now, Türkiye has been one of the most important markets for textile finishing, coating and continuous dyeing equipment, making ITM 2026 from June 9-13 a key event for Germany’s Monforts. At the Istanbul exhibition at stand 1117D in Hall 11, the company will put the emphasis on its machines which continue to lead the field in conventional dyeing and finishing, and also highlight the strong opportunities for Turkish textile manufacturers in the growing field of technical textiles.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.

2026 general meeting of the Friends and Supporters of RWTH Aachen at ITA

The Friends and Supporters of RWTH Aachen e. V. (proRWTH) looked back on a successful year of support at their 2026 general meeting.
