Setex will demonstrate the adavantages of OrgaTEX X1 software at ITM

One of the greatest challenges of our time is the growing contrariness between the economic and quality requirements in the textile industry, and taking advantage of all existing technological opportunities. Setex, a global leader in designing, manufacturing and implementation of automation solutions for textile dyeing and finishing machines, will demonstrate the new OrgaTEX X1, which offers an efficient use of latest technologies.

The OrgaTEX X1 production management software guides the intelligent communication to the machines for an efficient production and energy management.

The process and recipe handling - constantly used parts of the software - is new designed. The modules provide impressive new features to simplify complex production steps, to save expert know-how systematically and to optimize resource efficiency.

OrgaTEX X1 is also highly customizable. Although dyeing machines significantly lowering liquor ratio and requiring less chemical quantities, this software suite still can reduce dyeing time and production cost, optimize the throughput and expose weak spots and bottlenecks. OrgaTEX X1 has enhanced adapters to communicate with dyeing, continue and finishing machines for ecological and cost improvement: Each machine can be considered within the overall energy management concept.

Intelligent integration of dosing systems saves chemicals and water. The operation is independent of operator skill.

The philosophy of the new software is to bring the best-in-class recipe tools but still providing the flexibility of using simple flat recipe methods. As such, converted information and experience is usable as formulas, wizards assist the creation of formulas and there are predefined formulas shipped with the system.

This is essential for a fast and smooth implementation in a production running at full capacity. Existing machines can easily be refitted to benefit from SETEX´s knowledge of specific solutions. To learn more ask for demonstrations at ITM 2016 in Hall 12, Booth Number 1209B.

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.

“We clearly see that reliability, flexibility, service and total cost of ownership are becoming increasingly important again.”

The nonwovens industry continues to face a challenging market environment. Nevertheless, AUTEFA Solutions reports successful projects, new line sales and growing demand for energy-efficient and flexible solutions. In this interview, André Imhof of AUTEFA Solutions talks about competitiveness against Chinese suppliers, new service and recycling concepts, the growing importance of application development and the opportunities created by countercyclical investments.

“Needle punching technology is more universal and sustainable than ever!”

Needle punching technology was long regarded as a rather traditional and comparatively slow technology within the nonwovens industry. In this interview, Johann Philipp Dilo explains why needle punching is more relevant than ever today – ranging from energy efficiency and resource conservation to hygiene applications, new machine concepts and design-oriented nonwoven solutions.

Textile climate control system in workwear – exhibition at the 2026 SME Innovation Day!

Conventional protective workwear often reaches its limits during strenuous physical activity. In particular, the transport of sweat and excess body heat poses a problem. The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) conducted research on flow-optimized, air-conducting textile structures that enable targeted climate control directly on the body. These structures can be integrated straight into protective work garments. The textile climate control system supports the body’s natural thermoregulation. This contributes to improved workplace safety and comfort.

PET spunbond from China – EDANA welcomes imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures

On 13 May 2026, after eight months of investigation, the European Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties of 45.6-50.0% on imports of PET spunbond from China. EDANA welcomes this expression of the Commission’s clear determination to protect EU industries from the unfair trade practices of Chinese producers.
