Digital innovations are transforming the landscape of apparel and traditional textiles. Across multiple industries, the application of smart textiles with embedded, sensitive components is set to revolutionize and redefine our existence. As we move forward towards Industry 4.0, technology is now an essential component of our daily lives. However, how we
experience technology is set for radical change.
Mobile devices now seamlessly connect to create data that both informs and educates
our choices. How we use this data and technology is of paramount importance, and continues to empower a new generation of industries, encompassing fashion, sportswear, workwear, outdoor, automotive, healthcare, interior decoration, retail, entertainment, and leisure. Data is the new gold, and information is power! Collaboration has been an essential factor in this new world of possibilities. Working together, academia, chemists, scientists, designers, and product architects are reinventing the fibers, threads, yarns, and fabrics that we spin, weave, print, and manufacture. In doing so, they begin to build the essential manufacturing infrastructure that is required for scalable manufacturing. -
