Attending brands were Kontoor, Tesco, George, CROSSLINE, Best Seller, Lindex, and M&S. The third-party labs included Intertek, SGS, BV, Eurofins, Hohenstein, Brachi, TUV SUD, and TUV Rheinland. The seminar welcomed factory reps from Microfiber, Ananta, Snowtex, Fakir, LC WAIKIKI, and Probriddhi Apparels.
The seminar highlighted ChiuVention’s goal. It aims to improve quality, efficiency, and compliance in Bangladesh’s textile industry. At the event, Forrest Chiu, President of ChiuVention, talked about smart testing equipment. He also took part in an interactive Q&A session. ChiuVention’s Technical Marketing Director in Bangladesh, Md. Sharif Islam shared the company’s history and showed the newest smart testing solutions.
ChiuVention’s Smart Testing Solutions Unveiled
At this seminar, ChiuVention introduced several advanced smart testing solutions, like:
SmartShrink
The SmartShrink Intelligent Shrinkage Testing Instrument checks how much fabric shrinks or distorts after washing, steaming, or dry cleaning. It meets all shrinkage testing standards like AATCC, ASTM, ISO, JIS, and GB. The instrument captures photos with a single click using visual inspection technology. It uses AI algorithms to measure shrinkage and distortion rates in five seconds. It generates reports without human intervention.
The SmartShrink stores test data and sample photos. It also shows results in real time. Users can view results through the SmarTexLab app. They can access it on personal computers or smartphones using IoT technology. The instrument can connect with ERP or LIMS systems. This helps manage shrinkage data in a way that maximizes effectiveness. It also speeds up tests and cuts costs by more than 90%. Several well-known brands and labs use this tool.
They include:
- Adidas (Germany)
- AEO Supply Chain
- Anta Supply Chain
- Bureau Veritas
- TÜV Rheinland
- China National Textile and Apparel Council
- Texwinca Textile Group
Smartindale
The Smartindale shows how fabrics stand up to wear and pilling. It uses digital algorithms to generate the Lissajous curve, driving friction with precision. The device works without calibration. Users can switch between abrasion and pilling tests with one click. There is no need to replace pins. The test uses rubber samples and double-weighted calibration weights. The instrument can handle over 10 million cycles. That is about three years of nonstop, high-intensity abrasion testing. Despite this, the Lissajous curve remains accurate and perfect. The flip-up design makes it easy to see and use. Testers from a leading group in France found the instrument very easy to use.
AirFicient
The AirFicient is ideal for various textiles. It tests industrial fabrics, non-woven materials, and breathable items. This includes sponge paper and more. The device is easy to use. You can select testing standards and measurement units from the control screen. The instrument can recognize various test fixtures in a short amount of time. It provides results in seconds. High-quality core components and range conversion modules don’t need maintenance. They prevent any loss, giving you test results that are reliable and repeatable. The self-designed calibration system guarantees precise testing at all times. Canada Goose (headquartered in Canada) uses this tool. The top electric vehicle brand in the USA also uses it to test automotive interior materials.
HydroBurst
The HydroBurst measures how materials expand under stress. It uses hydraulic burst testing, focusing on the elastic diaphragm method. This device tests a range of materials.
It includes:
- Knitted fabrics
- Woven fabrics
- Non-woven fabrics
- Laminated textiles
- Elastic woven fabrics
- Paper
It applies stress in both the warp and weft directions, as well as in all other directions. This tests the material’s burst resistance performance. The HydroBurst can do a single pre-test. This lets you control the burst speed with exactness. The device has precise sensors and a smart test cup recognition system. This setup boosts testing accuracy and efficiency. The sensors also have a longer lifespan.
CoolMax
The CoolMax checks textile products for instant cooling. It measures how well they cool down and spread heat. This helps assess their cooling effect. This test is suitable for knitted and woven fabrics. The device mimics real-world situations. It uses precise temperature sensors to capture quick temperature changes. The software analyzes and generates the Q-max value without delay. The test takes seconds. You can adjust the parameters, and the results are reliable and reproducible. The instrument uses IoT technology to connect with smartphones and computers. It can also link to enterprise ERP or LIMS systems. This leads to a significant improvement in testing efficiency.
SmartDry
The designers created the SmartDry for testing fast-drying fabrics. It has high-precision temperature sensors, wind speed sensors, and a dripping device. This setup simulates the process of sweating in the human body. It can also measure how fast textiles dry. The constant wind speed control and magnetic strip clamps make testing more reliable. The drying rate test takes only a few minutes. The results show a strong alignment with data from international testing groups. Lululemon’s Canadian headquarters uses this tool. It meets adidas standards and is a top pick for suppliers approved by adidas, such as Garuda in Indonesia.
HydroDetector
The HydroDetector evaluates how well textiles, leather, films, and other sheet materials withstand hydrostatic pressure. It checks their waterproofing and water permeability under high water pressure. The device has a high-definition camera. It records and analyzes the testing process. An AI algorithm detects when the third water droplet appears. The system detects the issue and stops the test. Then, it sends a notification to the tester through a mobile app. The system uploads test results without manual intervention. It also keeps videos and images for traceability. The system runs without compressed air. It uses a smart servo water pressure system that stops water from spraying. The sample is held in place with a smart clamping system. This makes tests more accurate. The device connects to smartphones and computers. It also links with enterprise ERP or LIMS systems using IoT technology. This boosts testing efficiency.
Boosting Productivity with Smart Testing Solutions
These smart testing devices boost productivity and cut down on human errors. They also help meet international standards like ISO, ASTM, and AATCC. ChiuVention’s goal is to simplify textile testing. Each instrument includes automation and digital connectivity. This makes testing quicker and results more reliable.
Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest apparel exporter. So, it’s important to keep high-quality standards. ChiuVention’s smart testing solutions will assist manufacturers by:
- Improving product quality through precise and repeatable testing.
- Accelerating production cycles with efficient automation processes.
- Meeting global export compliance requirements.
- Digitizing quality management systems to maintain global competitiveness.
ChiuVention’s Vision for the Bangladesh Market
At the end of the seminar, Forrest Chiu said, “We’re proud to support the Bangladesh textile industry.” Our smart and automated testing solutions can boost efficiency and reliability.”
ChiuVention also plans to expand in Bangladesh. SN Apparels will offer training, technical support, and tailored solutions to textile manufacturers.
ChiuVention is quickly rising to be a global leader in smart testing tech for textiles. They create precision instruments in Germany and use ISO 9001-certified manufacturing. Their clients include major names such as Nike, Adidas, SGS, and Intertek.
