Tecnorama: Innovating the textile dyeing industry with mechatronics

Tecnorama is specialized in designing and producing mechatronic systems for the automatic handling of chemicals and dyestuffs used in the dyeing processes of all textile materials.

Focused on automation, Tecnorama aims to increase reproducibility between laboratory and production recipes and optimize the dyeing processes. DOS&DYE® is an automatic laboratory dosing and dyeing system with a great worldwide reputation. It is the first and the only one system developing the right recipe for bulk dyeing machines, in order to avoid correction and re-dyeing in production with considerable time and resource savings. Composed of a Dosorama dispensing machine and one or more robotized dyeing modules, the DOS&DYE® works independently for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It automatically performs the whole dye-bath process without any operator intervention and matches the features complying with Industry 4.0.

The DOS&DYE® system has been adopted by leading textile companies around the world for its accuracy, efficiency and reliability.

At ITMA 2023, the world’s largest textile technology exhibition, Tecnorama will present its latest innovations for laboratory, to be fully integrated in the DOS&DYE® system, including:

DOSORAMA MASTER: the best performing dispensing machine, evolution of the DOSORAMA WS

DYRAMA 4R/1000: yarn dyeing module with 1 kg capacity

ROTODYRAMA 6R/20: dyeing module for small pieces of fabric and knit

DOSORAMA CLEVER: the fully automatic dispensing machine with multi-pipette mono-plunger system combined to a SHAKERAMA dyeing module

Noteworthy also the following new solutions developed for bulk:

ASV - VERTICAL AUTOSTORAGE: an automatic warehouse for storing and handling boxes of dye-stuff powders for production

APV - VERTICAL AUTOPARK with DLP dissolving unit: vertical parking system for storage and automatic handling of stainless steel buckets containing the dispensed recipes

Tecnorama is committed to provide the textile industry with state-of-the-art automation technology. These innovations will enable the textile companies to optimize productivity, minimize wastes and reduce labour costs but maintaining high quality and perfect reproducibility.

The DOS&DYE® system has already revolutionized the dye-house working method.

With its innovative and automated technologies, Tecnorama has been a leader in the sector for many years.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.

Techtextil 2026: Between innovation pressure & market reality

From 21 to 24 April 2026, Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main will once again become the central meeting point for the international technical textiles and nonwovens industry. Running in parallel, Texprocess will focus on the industrial implementation of textile processing technologies as the leading platform in this field. Together, the two trade fairs form a closely integrated presentation and working platform along the entire textile value chain – from material development to finished applications.

Between geopolitical pressure and industrial resilience

In this interview, Dr. Janpeter Horn (VDMA) discusses the current challenges facing textile machinery manufacturers, shaped by geopolitical tensions, regulatory developments and subdued investment. He also outlines why innovation strength, integrated solutions and strategic positioning remain key to global competitiveness.

STFI highlights textile circular economy and alternative fibres at INDEX™ 2026

From 19 to 22 May 2026, INDEX will invite visitors to Lake Geneva for the world's leading nonwovens trade fair. The Centre of Excellence in Nonwovens at the Sächsisches Textilforschung- sinstitut e.V. (STFI) will be in attendance to present the latest developments in nonwovens research. In the field of the textile circular economy, the STFI will present acoustically effective nonwovens made from chemical recycling residues. The range also includes innovations aimed at replacing conventional raw materials, such as the biobased and biodegradable polymer polybutylene succinate (PBS) and Kendyr as an alternative to cotton.
