Textile sensors and antennas for your industrial application

You want to simplify your customers’ lives with seamlessly integrated sensors in flexible textile carrier materials and are looking for a manufacturer who can

✓ integrates sensors with a suitable layout for your application in textiles?
✓ offers you a wide selection of flexible, robust, and kink-resistant carrier materials?
✓ develops and manufactures wash-resistant sensors with a large reading range individually for your product?

As a manufacturer, we produce your smart textile sensors efficiently and cost-effectively in Germany. We implement your innovative product ideas with you – from prototype to series production.

Smart, technical textiles combine function and comfort

Textile sensors and textile antennas

We integrate sensors and antennas into flexible carrier materials

Sensors provide data on pressure, temperature, humidity, geo-localization and other valuable information. Smart technical textiles combine the function of sensors with all the advantages of textile carrier materials.

At Embro, we bring both worlds together: We embroider sensors, antennas as well as finest strands (up to 0.04 mm), coated threads and other sensitive, highly conductive conductors for signal transmission onto textile carrier materials.

You are free to choose the perfect material for your product idea, the size, the shape and the best layout. Already during the development we always keep an eye on the economic production as well as your further processing.

Take advantage of the integration of sensors in textiles for your innovative products:

Wide range of textile substrates with textile feel and high wearing comfort when integrated into smart textiles
Highly conductive & wash resistant
Temperature resistant
Very robust, kink-resistant and vibration-resistant
Any sizes and layouts can be implemented
Processing of finest strands (up to 0.04 mm), coated threads or other sensitive materials that are difficult or impossible to process with conventional manufacturing methods
Efficient and cost-effective production

Think sensors & antennas in a new way!

Textile sensors and antennas for your innovative products

Textiles for pressure measurement

Monitor pressure changes on surfaces and collect valuable information for optimizing your products. Pressure sensors integrated into textile carrier materials flexibly adapt to the shape and structure of your surface. They provide accurate measurement data, especially in the case of uneven pressure distribution. When used in contact with people, they offer a high level of wearing comfort.

RFID textile identification

Identify and locate textiles – even over long distances:

✓ Identify your workwear after washing
✓ Register and check the condition of your fire protection clothing
✓ Secure your garments from theft with a sensor + alarm when they leave a registered location

Textile UHF RFID antennas or tags are wash-resistant and robust. Their textile base offers high wearing comfort.

Temperature-resistant NFC antennas

Use textile NFC tags or NFC antennas wherever you need the flexibility of textile carrier materials coupled with high temperature resistance.

In the temperature range from 150 to 250 °C, textile sensors score over conventional films. Choose a temperature-resistant textile carrier material to transmit data via NFC over short distances in your innovative application.

You have an innovative idea to make your product even better? We are curious!
