Taiwanese textile companies Pai Lung, Logic Art, AK Dyeing, ACME, CCI Tech, Tai Ho Shing and Taiwan Giu Chun exhibited their intelligent/smart machinery and innovative solutions for the textile industry at ITMA 2019. With the support of TAITRA, these companies showcased Taiwanese cutting-edge technological advancements.

These technological advancements aimed to redefine all the different processes of the textile manufacturing industry. Systems to digitalise and standardise all the knitting process, color eye for observing the wasted water when dyeing all kinds of fabric, fully automated dye stuff weighing systems, or an intelligent automatic Servo Loom are some of the awe-inspiring state-of-the-art‘smart’ machinery that will be showcased in ITMA 2019.

The Taiwan path towards the‘smart’ machinery

The Taiwanese textile industry has gone from a low-cost fabrics manufacturer to a global reference in textile production. Strategic trade agreements, the support of government institutions and, above all, the empowerment of smart machinery are the cause of this remarkable growth. Since 2016, Taiwan launched the "Industrial Innovation Plan 5 + 2", which aims to develop applications and manufacturing solutions based on AI, encouraging players in the manufacturing industry to adopt them in order to make a transition to a "smart industry".

Companies such as Pai Lung, Logic Art, AK Dyeing, ACME, CCI Tech, Tai Ho Shing and Taiwan Giu Chun, as well as representatives of TAITRA, presented their cutting-edge innovations related to the textile machinery industry.
