A New Era in Textile Quality: Standardization of Tactile Sensation with Sentire
Roeches’ Sentire solution stands out at ITM 2026 with its innovative approach that transforms tactile sensation in textiles into measurable data. By digitizing fabric touch, the technology introduces a new standard in quality control processes and will meet visitors at Hall 10, Stand 1013B through its Türkiye representative, ColorCo.
Roeches, drawing attention with its innovative solutions developed for textile technologies, will take part in ITM 2026 with its Sentire product. Managed by its Türkiye representative ColorCo, Sentire converts fabric touch into objective and measurable data, bringing a new perspective to quality control processes. The sense of touch, which has long been largely based on subjective evaluations, is digitized through this technology, making it possible to establish a common quality language between manufacturers and customers.
A New Era in Quality Control Processes
In the textile industry, quality is defined not only by visual and physical performance criteria but also by the tactile properties of the product. However, objectively measuring this sensation remains one of the most challenging issues in the sector. The Sentire fabric touch analysis machine fills a significant gap in this field by converting fabric feel into numerical data and opens the door to a new era in quality control processes.
Sentire analyzes the physical properties of fabrics, making tactile perception measurable and comparable. Thanks to its academically grounded development process, the system delivers reliable, repeatable, and standardizable results. In this way, subjective evaluations give way to data-driven decision-making mechanisms.
With its advanced reporting infrastructure, Sentire takes quality control processes to a more advanced level. The system provides detailed outputs by analyzing fabric touch across seven key indices: softness, elasticity, fullness, smoothness, stiffness, drape, and surface feel.
Through these analyses, users can directly compare reference fabrics with test samples, define tolerance ranges, and quickly detect deviations. While the system accelerates decision-making processes with clear “Pass/Fail” results, it also enhances reliability.
Transforming tactile sensation into a universal quality parameter is among Sentire’s standout features. The ability to evaluate based on the same data throughout all stages—from production to the end user—strengthens quality communication, especially in global supply chains, and helps prevent potential disputes.
In addition, the system provides valuable insights to companies by analyzing the effects of production processes on fabric. Thus, it supports not only quality control but also process optimization and increased efficiency.
In conclusion, Sentire stands out as an innovative solution that redefines the understanding of quality in the textile industry. By turning fabric feel into a measurable parameter, this technology is poised to become one of the fundamental components of a data-driven production approach.
