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.

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.

180 years of TESTEX: From Zurich silk testing to global certification

For 180 years, TESTEX has developed alongside the textile industry while maintaining the same underlying purpose: creating trust through independent and reliable measurement. Founded in Zurich in 1846 as the Zurich Silk Conditioning Institute, TESTEX has grown from a local institution serving the silk trade into an international Swiss testing and certification institute for textiles and leather.

Moving Advanced Recycling from Innovation to Implementation

The Advanced Recycling Conference 2026 explores technologies, markets, financing and scale-up of innovative recycling solutions for waste streams including mixed plastic waste, textiles and PVC. Europe’s chemical and materials sector faces growing pressure to close carbon loops, strengthen raw-material safety and resilience and meet increasingly ambitious EU recycling targets. Against this backdrop, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) will bring together industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators and policy-makers on 17–18 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

German textile industry and retailers form alliance to shape textile EPR system

Germany’s textile and fashion industry and retail sector have joined forces to establish the “Alliance for Textile Circularity” (Allianz für textile Kreisläufe). Initiated by the German Textile and Fashion Industry Association (Gesamtverband textil+mode) and the German Retail Federation (HDE), the alliance aims to contribute industry expertise to the development of Germany’s future Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for textiles and footwear.

Cascale launches member-led process to shape 2030 strategy

Cascale has launched a member-led process to define the industry alliance’s strategic direction for the next decade. At the Cascale Annual Meeting 2026 in Athens, CEO Ying McGuire announced that members will contribute to an industry system map that will inform Cascale’s 10-year vision, its 2030 strategy and priorities for 2027. The new strategy is scheduled to be finalized in December.
