At Techtextil North America (TTNA) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, on 22-24 May 2018, ZSK Technical Embroidery Systems of Krefeld, Germany, demonstrated its embroidery technologies for adding smart functionality to fabrics. These include: 1. the integration of wires into fabrics as heating elements, or as sensors to measure moisture, temperature, Stretch applications and so on; the inclusion of conductive yarns to create textile electrodes for: body-signal monitoring, such as electrocardiography (ECG); electro Stimulation; creating conductive paths and connection pads between electronic parts and textiles; 2. the placement of functional sequin devices (FSDs) such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and electrical connections using conductive threads.
