Institutsdirektor Benjamin Redlingshöfer wertet den am 27. November 2019 in Weimar verliehenen Preis als herausragende Auszeichnung für eine exzellente Leistung in der wirtschaftsnahen Forschung sowie für den erfolgreichen Transfer von Forschungsergebnissen in die Industrie.

Weimar / Rudolstadt – Der Rudolstädter Wettbewerbsbeitrag lautete „PTC-ThermoMat“ – Effizientes Thermomanagement mittels flexibler, metallfreier Heizmaterialien auf Polymerbasis". Die Heizfolien mit dem sogenannten PTC-Effekt waren in diesem Jahr auch auf der Hannover Messe vorgestellt worden. Die Abkürzung PTC steht für „positive temperature coefficient“ und beschreibt die starke Zunahme des Widerstands mit der Temperatur. Getreu diesem Prinzip reduziert die Heizfolie ihre Leistung selbst, sie bringt also ihre eigene Thermosicherung mit. Ganz ohne zusätzliche Steuerungstechnik schützt sie so empfindliche Güter, Personen und Aggregate vor Hitzeschäden.

Das leitfähige Material kommt mit einer geringen Energiezufuhr aus und lässt sich in verschiedensten Dicken herstellen. Es ist flexibel, thermisch verformbar und unempfindlich gegenüber Strukturverletzungen. Verwendung finden kann es nicht nur in Elektrofahrzeugen, wo sich völlig neue Bereiche im Innenraum oder auch im Motorraum effizient erwärmen lassen. Einsatzgebiete eröffnen sich auch in elektrischen Fußboden- und Wandheizungen, Operationstischen, Wasserbetten, Sessel-Liften oder Aquarien.

„Erste Industriepartner haben wir bereits für diese Technologie“, sagt TITK-Direktor Benjamin Redlingshöfer. „Wir würden uns freuen, wenn der Innovationspreis dazu beiträgt, weitere Interessenten auf unsere Innovation aufmerksam zu machen. Möglicherweise können wir gemeinsam noch ganz andere Anwendungsfelder ausloten.“

Der geschäftsführende Direktor zeigt sich stolz auf das gesamte Team der TITK-Gruppe. Er dankt allen Forscherinnen und Forschern für ihr tagtägliches Engagement und gratuliert besonders dem verantwortlichen Team der Abteilung Funktionspolymersysteme mit Abteilungsleiter Prof. Dr. Klaus Heinemann, dem zuständigen Projektleiter Dr. Mario Schrödner sowie Dr. Thomas Welzel, Hannes Schache und Frank Schubert.

Its heritage and approach define a valuable and renowned legacy that is now taking stage at Denim PV on December 3rd and 4th. For the occasion, Elleti Group joined forces and knowledge with MYR, start-up program conceived to digitalize the creative process and connect users, suppliers and final consumers through a digital platform. Both companies will be in the Garments and Finishings area - booth C3,  howcasing an exclusive project to highlight their creativity and competences.

Starting from a selection of bold designs, entirely envisioned and developed with MYR software, Elleti Group worked to recreate their look and fit on six garments, manufacturing each piece according to its signature innovative and responsible approach. Featuring forefront machinery and cutting-edge processing solutions, this relies on a continuous research effort focused on granting high-quality products while increasingly reducing their knock-on effect on both workers and the environment.

The result turned out to be very impactful and inspiring, with denim solutions which proved the mastery of the leading Italian company in the art of washing, cutting and stitching the iconic blue fabric, as well as the great support that MYR software provided in the development of the collections.

„Spaß an der Veränderung“: Wie thoenes® Dichtungstechnik alte Maschinen wieder fit macht

Ausfallzeiten reduzieren, Prozesse effizienter gestalten und die Produktivität erhöhen: Die thoenes® Dichtungstechnik GmbH hat sich für dieses Vorhaben die Unterstützung des Textil vernetzt-Partners Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut (STFI) gesichert. Im Mittelpunkt stand die Nachrüstung einer Rundstrickmaschine mit Sensorik.

„Vom Textil vernetzt-Team in Chemnitz haben wir unverzichtbare Lösungsansätze erhalten, die bei uns den Spaß an der Veränderung geweckt haben“, fasst Thomas Zocher, Geschäftsführer bei der thoenes® GmbH, die Zusammenarbeit zusammen. Den Experten für Dichtungstechnik, Filtrations- und Leichtbaulösungen aus dem sächsischen Klipphausen umtrieb dabei die Fragen: Was kann ich überhaupt optimieren, wie gelingt die Umsetzung unter fachgerechter Begleitung und wie stelle ich die Akzeptanz der Belegschaft sicher?

Ausfallzeiten reduzieren, Prozesse effizienter gestalten und die Produktivität erhöhen: Die thoenes® Dichtungstechnik GmbH hat sich für dieses Vorhaben die Unterstützung des Textil vernetzt-Partners Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut (STFI) gesichert. Im Mittelpunkt stand die Nachrüstung einer Rundstrickmaschine mit Sensorik.

„Vom Textil vernetzt-Team in Chemnitz haben wir unverzichtbare Lösungsansätze erhalten, die bei uns den Spaß an der Veränderung geweckt haben“, fasst Thomas Zocher, Geschäftsführer bei der thoenes® GmbH, die Zusammenarbeit zusammen. Den Experten für Dichtungstechnik, Filtrations- und Leichtbaulösungen aus dem sächsischen Klipphausen umtrieb dabei die Fragen: Was kann ich überhaupt optimieren, wie gelingt die Umsetzung unter fachgerechter Begleitung und wie stelle ich die Akzeptanz der Belegschaft sicher?

Das STFI hat zunächst anhand eines Industrie 4.0-Readiness-Checks ermittelt, wo die Bedarfe des Unternehmens liegen. Dabei kristallisierte sich heraus, dass thoenes® seine Geschäftsmodelle an die Wünsche der Kunden anpassen müsse, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Da es eine Vielzahl an Anbietern digitaler Lösungen auf dem Markt gibt, war es für Thomas Zocher entscheidend, mit Textil vernetzt „eine wichtige Anlaufstelle zu haben, um sehr objektiv und KMU-gerecht zu hinterfragen, welchen Nutzen die Implementierung digitaler Lösungen hat.“ Andreas Böhm, zuständiger Kollege für die Realisierung des Projektes am STFI, macht deutlich, wie wichtig die Mitnahme der Mitarbeiter ist: „Das Team war buntgemischt – ideal um die Mitarbeiter aus verschiedenen Berufsgruppen gemeinsam ans Thema heranzuführen und in die Unternehmensstrategie einzubinden.“

In mehreren Workshops hat das STFI einen Überblick über die Anforderungen der laufenden Produktion erarbeitet, wobei thoenes® insbesondere auf die Expertise im Hinblick auf Betriebsdatenerfassung und Maschinendatenanalyse bauen konnte. Im Mittelpunkt standen die Messung der Drehzahl und die Bestimmung des Spulendurchmessers, um Daten der Maschine hinsichtlich Laufzeit, Geschwindigkeit und Produktionsmenge zu sammeln. Zur Erfassung der Drehzahl verbaute thoenes® einen Hallsensor an der Rundstrickmaschine, die Kunststoffgestricke unter anderem für den Fahrzeugbau produziert. Mit der am STFI erprobten Lösung – das graphische Programmierwerkzeug Node-RED für die Datenerfassung und deren Ablage in einer Datenbank – kann thoenes® nunmehr Produktionsdaten aufzeichnen und Störungsmeldungen ermitteln.

Im Nachgang zum Projekt ist im Technikum des STFI ein Retrofit-Demonstrator bestehend aus Mikrocontroller, Sensorik und Kleinstrechner entstanden, der weitere Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufzeigt und an Unternehmen mit ähnlicher Problematik ausgeliehen wird.

“Environmentally friendly packaging” was the first leading theme of FachPack, which, according to Messe Nürnberg, really had its finger on the pulse. This theme also was given top priority by visitors that were attracted to the Sappi stand, by its wide range of innovative and sustainable application solutions.

Huge demand for specific projects
Almost fifty per cent more branded goods manufacturers, converters, established customers and interested parties visited the FachPack stand in Nuremberg compared to the previous year – with specific projects in mind. For those planning to replace composite packaging with a paper-based solution with integrated functionality, Sappi presented its Sappi Guard barrierpapers and highlighted some related best practice references. This included the packaging solution for a new nut-fruit bar, recently introduced to the market, from a well-known brand manufacturer. The Sappi Guard range includes Sappi Guard M and Sappi Guard MS with a mineral oil barrier (MOB) and a grease barrier of Kit 11 or Kit 7. All Guard papers guarantee very high product safety and can be completely recycled. The integrated heat sealability was the focus of the development of Sappi Seal. René Köhler, Head of Business Development Packaging and Speciality Papers at Sappi, says: “Reducing the consumption of fossil resources in packaging is a major concern for Sappi. On this account, we developed Sappi Seal, a functional paper with integrated heat sealing functionality which is integrated in the form of a dispersion coating on the reverse side of the paper and can replace papers with a PE coating.” Sappi presented a wide range of successfully completed projects in order to demonstrate the specific application of this paper to the trade fair visitors.

SEEK is essential participation for anyone looking to curate a modern, youthful and relevant range.

The shift from a niche event to a large trade show is now complete with a new logo and campaign design. SEEK has emerged from its transformation to reveal that its content and visual look are as relevant as ever!  

Sustainability is part of SEEK’s internal make-up and has always been part of the team and community experience. Over 80 sustainable brands make up the brand portfolio, including players like Veja, Dedicated and Kings of Indigo. Experts will be sharing their experiences on this market-defining topic as well, with a host of live podcasts, talks and panel discussions, and will be shaping SEEK’s programme of content.
 
BIG PLAYER: the new SEEK Culture
 
SEEK is Europe’s most successful trade show for pop, street and sneaker culture. This is where the key players meet, where the looks of tomorrow are showcased, modelled and retold, where classics are celebrated, authenticity rules the roost and where icons take their positions alongside shooting stars. SEEK is essential participation for anyone looking to curate a modern, youthful and relevant range.

The shift from a niche event to a large trade show is now complete with a new logo and campaign design. SEEK has emerged from its transformation to reveal that its content and visual look are as relevant as ever!  

Together with creative agencies Karl Anders and Haebmau, the SEEK team has been working for weeks on the brand’s new branding. The result: a visual concept with a strong message.

“The handshake is the right imagery and commitment to our stance and that of the SEEK community.”

“SEEK stands for strength and business just as much as for communality and good vibes! ‘Get Along’ articulates a feeling of agreement, of moving forward and getting to grips with things. We all want to shape a positive future for our industry – as partners and by joining forces.”, explains Fashion Director Maren Wiebus.

CREATIVE CONNECTION: Karl Anders and Haebmau
 
The Hamburg-based agency Karl Anders, which was established by Claudia Fischer-Appelt and Lars Kreyenhagen, was commissioned to come up with the creative concept and design language for the logo and campaign.

“With the new look we are entering a new era for SEEK as a brand. Lots of brands have chosen a design using Helvetica in recent years,” says Claudia Fischer-Appelt, Creative Director at Karl Anders. “We are now signalling a clear shift in another direction. Confident, bold and independent. With the logo we are inviting the viewer to play with the linear layout in their head; we are breaking viewing habits, making a statement and revving things up a gear. SEEK, there it is.”
 
The artwork is the result of a process of in-depth debate with the SEEK brand that took place over several weeks both within the team and also with the support of lifestyle agency Haebmau. Workshops, research and analyses ultimately led to a new, strong brand identity. SEEK is focussed on both established and new players and stands for the WE.

“I have known SEEK since it was in its infancy, so to me it was always like a little brother of the large, successful PREMIUM. Quirky and different, always interesting but somehow not quite so imposing,” says Markus Bublitz, Executive Creative Director at Haebmau. “SEEK today is more grown-up, confident and sharper. Thanks to its position in the market, which it has conquered over the years, it no longer needs to please everyone but can afford to be controversial. This can offer space for new, creative ideas.”

SEEK is edgy, clean-cut and unpolished.

We are all about statement design, new classics, denim and sportswear. SEEK is the trade show event for the fashion community. SEEK knows who calls the shots; it boosts sales and is the place for the next generation of decision-makers to get together. Unlike all the others, SEEK is unconventional and the antidote to boring.

BeSoEFFECTIVE communication concept of the CHT Group is honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019

Since 2018 the CHT Group has broken new ground in communication with BeSoEFFECTIVE. Complex chemical interrelations are translated into simple and hardly technical words in combination with stylistically clear pictures.

The Best Solutions ”BeSo“ were specifically tailored to the communication with the target group of textile brands and retailers and do therefore not only appeal classic B2B clients but are also visible and comprehensible for end consumers of textile goods. The agency RTS Rieger Team from Leinfelden-Echterdingen that had already supported the new brand identity of the CHT Group in 2017 assisted CHT again in developing and creating the BeSoEFFECTIVE concept. One year after its publication, the communication concept has now achieved great success. BeSoEffective was honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019 in bronze in Frankfurt am Main on 14th November.

One year after its publication, the communication concept has now achieved great success. BeSoEffective was honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019 in bronze in Frankfurt am Main on 14th November.

Since 1981 the Effie has been awarded for efficiency in marketing communication by the Gesamtverband Kommunikationsagenturen GWA (general association of communication agencies). It’s not exclusively the convincing look or content of campaigns that is honoured by the jury of experts with the GWA Effie Award but it’s rather the proven success and efficiency of such ideas and campaigns. By using the BeSoEFFECTIVE communication the CHT Group has so far increased the brands’ & retailers’ demand for innovative effects by about 30 %.

with CHT products are put in a nutshell by BeSoEFFECTIVE. The brand promise BeSo (”Best Solution“) is supplemented by an effect name deriving from the corresponding functionality – BeSoCOOL, BeSoFRESH or BeSoSMOOTH. Thus, each effect of the portfolio is given a uniform yet individual branding and a clear structure. The functionality of each effect is supplemented by pronounced and symbolic pictures which visually stress the benefits.

Eric Knehr, Head of Brand & Retail Service of the CHT Group states: “To us its of utmost importance to speak our target group’s language. Therefore, our BeSoEFFECTIVE campaign focuses on a clear communication with unique pictures and a uniform effect branding. Our customers’ positive reactions and this award prove, that our strong concept optimally supports our daily work as well as market and customer demands. However, it also puts the excellent performance of our innovative and sustainable effects into the right light."

Monforts at Techtextil India

Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG will be providing information on its extensive range of coating and finishing technologies for the production of nonwovens and technical textiles at the forthcoming Techtextil India exhibition.

“India is already a very important market for Monforts and there are exciting prospects ahead for Indian manufacturers of technical textiles, who are well positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities,” says Monforts Head of Denim Hans Wroblowski, who will be at the Monforts stand in Hall 4, booth C52 at the show. “India has one of the largest working-age populations in the world and a complete textile value chain for both natural and synthetic fibres.”

In addition, he adds, India’s government, through its Ministry of Textiles, has been actively promoting the growth of technical textiles through various programmes based on investment promotion, subsidies, the creation of infrastructure and the stimulation of consumption.

“India is already a very important market for Monforts and there are exciting prospects ahead for Indian manufacturers of technical textiles, who are well positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities,” says Monforts Head of Denim Hans Wroblowski, who will be at the Monforts stand in Hall 4, booth C52 at the show. “India has one of the largest working-age populations in the world and a complete textile value chain for both natural and synthetic fibres.”

In addition, he adds, India’s government, through its Ministry of Textiles, has been actively promoting the growth of technical textiles through various programmes based on investment promotion, subsidies, the creation of infrastructure and the stimulation of consumption.

As a result, India’s Ministry of Textiles is forecasting that the growth of technical textiles in the country will be over 18% annually in the next few years, from a value of US$16.6 billion in 2018 to US$28.7 billion in 2021.

Value addition

High value-added technical products such as wide-width digital printing substrates, carbon fabrics for high-performance composites, filter media, flame retardant barrier fabrics and heavy-duty membranes are now being coated on Monforts texCoat ranges and finished with the company’s industry-leading Montex stenters.

“Since we acquired the technology that our coating units are based on in 2015, we have made a lot of refinements,” says Hans. “All of these developments are reflected in higher coating accuracy and the resulting quality of the treated fabrics. At the same time, our latest multi-functional coating heads offer an unprecedented range of options, with a wide range of modules available.”

The texCoat user interface is now equipped with the unique Monforts visualisation system and the magnetic doctor blade has greater power reserves. Options include a carbon fibre-reinforced composite coating drum with a more scratch-resistant surface and maximum rigidity and remote control which simplifies exact adjustment for the operator.

Montex stenters in special executions are meanwhile ideal for the drying and finishing of both technical woven fabrics and nonwovens and characterised by high stretching devices in both length and width.

“The European-built Montex range of stenters has earned its leading position in the technical textiles market due to the overall robustness, reliability and economy of these machines,” Hans concludes. “Whatever the intended end-product – and we continue to discover potentially new areas in which technical textiles can be utilised all the time – we have the machine specification and know-how to turn ideas into reality. In India we also benefit from the strong sales and service support of A.T.E. Enterprises.”

Texchtextil India takes place alongside World of Composites at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai from November 20-22.

Design Made in Mönchengladbach auf dem Bundespresseball in Berlin

Mönchengladbach - Unter dem Motto „Wandel“ präsentieren Studierende des Fachbereiches Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik der Hochschule Niederrhein ihre Kreationen auf dem Bundespresseball. Am 29. November zeigen sie acht Kleider im geschichtsträchtigen Hotel Adlon in Berlin. Das Adlon ist jährlicher glamouröser Treffpunkt für über 2.300 Gäste aus Politik, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Medien. Traditionsgemäß tanzt der Bundespräsident den Eröffnungswalzer des Balls.

Dass die Studierenden der Hochschule Niederrhein auf dieser national beachteten Bühne ihre Kleider präsentieren dürfen, verdanken sie einer überzeugenden Performance bei der PolitFashion Night Anfang Juni dieses Jahres, ebenfalls in Berlin. Damals beeindruckte der Fachbereich Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik mit seiner Fashion-Show NRW-Ministerpräsident Armin Laschet, Vertreter der Bundespresseball GmbH und einen der diesjährigen Partner des Balls, den Gesamtverband textil+mode. Die Kleider werden von verschiedenen Ballteilnehmerinnen getragen.

Die Kleider werden von verschiedenen Ballteilnehmerinnen getragen.

Um mit kreativen Interpretationen des diesjährigen Ballmottos „Wandel“ auftreten zu können, wurde ein interner Hochschulwettbewerb initiiert, aus dem 16 Entwürfe ausgewählt wurden. Während der Semesterferien entstanden junge und frische Abendkleider, die Statements setzen: Vom Strukturwandel in NRW, über den Klimawandel bis hin zur Metamorphose von Insekten sind nun Styles zu sehen, die mittels moderner nachhaltiger Verfahren wie Lasertechnologie, 3D-Strickerei oder Digitaldruck erzeugt wurden.

Die Jury war neben Professorinnen und Professoren sowie Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern des Fachbereichs hochkarätig besetzt mit Petra Diroll (Leiterin Politik und Kommunikation, Gesamtverband textil+mode), Nadja Meister (Leiterin Organisation, Bundespresseball GmbH), Ute Welty (Mitglied des Vorstands, Bundespressekonferenz), Couturier Carlo Jösch aus Köln sowie der langjährigen Designverantwortlichen bei Marc Cain, Karin Veit. Das Votum fiel Ende September. „Wir hatten die Qual der Wahl, die besten Styles für Berlin auszuwählen. Das war keine leichte Aufgabe, denn die Qualität aller eingereichten Roben zeugt von der Kompetenz der Teilnehmerinnen“, so Nadja Meister.
