emtec Electronic GmbH introduces a new era in textile feel simulation at China’s most important textile event. The key benefit: TSA and Virtual Haptic Library improve the communication along the supply chain by providing a clear terminology and objective targets for the different haptic quality parameters. This helps companies to reduce costs, accelerate decision-making, and minimize their environmental footprint by decreasing the number of physical samples needed.

At ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025 in Singapore, Emtec Electronic GmbH will showcase its TSA and cloud-based Virtual Haptic Library, enabling digital fabric feel simulation to cut costs, speed decisions, and reduce samples.
Marking its 30th anniversary, emtec highlights its shift into textiles and invites visitors to booth H3-B303 for live testing and demonstrations.

In the cloud-based Virtual Haptic Library the test results can be digitized for further processing. This digital platform links TSA data to realistic, virtual haptic profiles, allowing users the impression of how fabrics feel – without physical samples.
