Detect defects already during the production process and prevent rejects: The DITF are developing a global "Industry 4.0 approach" for process management that already begins with yarn production and extends along all process chains.
Not only leg fractures and ligament strains are currently in season. Serious cuts are also a danger in skiing accidents. Cut-resistant ski undergarment protects against these. The DITF carry out material tests for the FIS.
Let's celebrate the textile future: One year late due to the Corona pandemic, the DITF celebrated 100 years of successful research and welcomed guests to the Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart.
For the second time, the nova Institute for Ecology and Innovation honored outstanding scientific research. The DITF received the first prize with the topic "Carbon fibers from wood".
Tree covers protect young plants as they grow. If they are not removed afterwards, plastic and metal pollute the environment. The DITF have therefore developed a suitable biodegradable yarn.
This year's international meeting ground for experts of industry and science took place digitally. Over 60 presentations in three parallel sessions were broadcast from Stuttgart's Liederhalle to the 360 participants in 25 countries.
