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.

SETEX turns dyeing and finishing data into daily production control

The real value in dyeing and finishing does not come from having more data on screen. It comes from using process data to control quality, utilities and daily production decisions more precisely.

At ITM 2026, SETEX will show how this can be achieved by linking machine control, MES functionality and fabric-related quality insight more closely in daily operation. The focus is not on adding another isolated system layer, but on making existing production structures more controllable — from recipe handling and machine execution to quality verification and energy monitoring.

With OrgaTEX X3 MES, machine data, planning logic and process context are brought together in a way that supports action, not just reporting. Functions such as SmartRecipe, dynamic planning and KPI-based dashboards help relate utilities, lead times and machine behavior directly to running orders. This gives production teams a clearer view of what is stable, what is drifting and where intervention has the greatest impact.

A key differentiator is the depth of machine-level transparency created by the E390x and C390x controller platforms. Process and energy data from dyeing machines and continuous lines are structured and made available beyond the machine itself. This supports batch comparison, KPI generation and targeted optimization across mixed machine environments — a reality in many dyeing and finishing mills.

Quality control is addressed as part of the process itself. SETEX combines production-near verification with real-time regulation: FabricInspector Portable supports fast, non-destructive checks directly on the shop floor, while CamCOUNT adds optical online measurement and control within continuous processes. By capturing parameters such as thread density, distortion and shrinkage, CamCOUNT supports earlier detection of deviations and direct influence on process conditions during production.

Another key topic is Energy Management from a production perspective. Instead of treating energy as a separate reporting layer, SETEX links consumption directly to batches, machine states and process phases. This helps mills understand where resources are used, where deviations occur and where adjustments can improve consumption without losing process stability.

Together, these technologies show how textile producers can move from delayed analysis to more direct control of daily production. SETEX connects existing systems, enriches them with reliable process data and links this information to the operational decisions made by planners, operators, engineers and production managers.

Visitors will find SETEX from 9 – 13 June 2026 in the Dyeing & Finishing Zone, Hall 11 – Booth 1109C. SETEX will also be represented at the Textile Solutions Group presence in Hall 6 – Booth 604D.

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.

ITM 2028 opens exhibitor registration following successful 2026 edition

Following the successful conclusion of ITM 2026, preparations for the next edition of the International Textile Machinery Exhibition are already underway. The organisers have officially opened exhibitor registration for ITM 2028, which will take place from June 13–17, 2028, at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul.

ITM 2026: Mayer & Cie. Global presents itself successfully at international industry trade fair

Mayer & Cie. Global has used ITM 2026 in Istanbul for its first major international appearance since the restart. Together with the Turkish representative Mayer Mümessillik, the company presented its premium circular knitting machines "Made in Germany", explained its future positioning within the group of companies and held talks with customers and representatives from numerous markets. The response to the restart was positive. The clear orientation of the company, the reliable worldwide network of representatives and the resumption of service and spare parts supply were welcomed by customers.

New spinning package with two-step filtration for recycled yarns and more

At the ITM in Istanbul, BB Engineering unveiled its new, patented ValuePack spinning package for the first time, which features a two-stage filtration system. This is particularly beneficial for re-cycling processes. Until now, spinning packs have used either metal powder (“sand”) or filter candles as filter media. Both options are suitable for differ-ent applications, and each has its own specific advantages and dis-advantages.
