Abstract

Various technologies have to be integrated in developing “Smart Textiles”, and we believe SHIMA SEIKI has highly potential skills in processing the “Smart textiles” through the sophisticated knitting processing technologies. Measurement of vital sign is one of the most popular application of the smart textiles. Through the remarkable growth in so-called IoT technology, the infrastructure for the device has almost been prepared for the commercially available and dally use. Further, the conductive material fiber which can be handled by our flat knitting machine has also been growing in recent several years, such as metal plated fiber,ultra-thin metallic wire, etc. SHIMA SEIKI developed the seam-free WHOLEGARMENT® manufacturing process that can produce an entire garment directly on the knitting machine.
