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.

“Production is a product”

From technical textiles and AI-driven robotics to the limitations of textile circularity: Professor Dr Thomas Gries looks back on more than two decades of development at ITA Aachen. In the interview, he explains why production technology remains a decisive success factor, discusses international collaborations and innovation ecosystems, and shares his views on the transformation of production landscapes and the challenges facing an increasingly regulated industry.

“We need to move away from the price trap and return to a value-driven mindset.”

With its new Textile Innovation Center, KARL MAYER is sending a strong signal for innovation, collaboration, and the future of textile applications. In this interview, Karl Josef Mayer discusses new opportunities in warp knitting, the processing of staple fibres, recycling, the changing role of machinery manufacturers, and why the textile industry must once again focus more strongly on the value of textiles. by Oliver Schmidt

“Innovation, resilience and international experience remain the great strengths of the Swiss textile machinery industry”

Geopolitical uncertainty, growing competitive pressure from China, new free trade agreements and the shift towards a circular economy are currently reshaping the global textile industry. In this interview, Cornelia Buchwalder discusses the current mood within the Swiss textile machinery sector, the industry’s distinctive innovative strength, new market opportunities in India and Asia, and the technological trends that could shape the upcoming trade fair cycle leading up to ITMA 2027.

SAITEX reports efficiency gains and greater transparency in 2025 Impact Report

Vietnam-based denim manufacturer SAITEX has published its 2025 Impact Report, documenting progress in resource efficiency, chemical management, digital traceability and knowledge sharing across its manufacturing operations in Vietnam and the United States. Rather than focusing on sustainability ambitions, the report presents operational data, manufacturing developments and lessons learned from the past year.

Aid by Trade Foundation presents annual report for 2025: Market position and impact of sustainably verified natural fibres strengthened

Despite global supply chain challenges, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) was able to further expand its international role in promoting sustainably verified natural fibres in 2025. In doing so, the foundation remains true to its fundamental approach of leveraging market forces. Last year, it generated total revenues of EUR 7.8 million; this included EUR 6.7 million collected through the successful marketing of four standards: Cotton made in Africa (CmiA), CmiA Organic, The Good Cashmere Standard (GCS), and the Regenerative Cotton Standard (RCS). AbTF invested the resulting income in projects aiming to protect biodiversity, support women, increase transparency in the textile supply chain, and implement its verification system.

Barmag presents metering pump solutions at ASE China

From September 15 to 17, 2026, Barmag’s Pumps Division will present its solutions for the precise delivery and metering of adhesives, sealants, and other high-viscosity media at ASE China at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
