Through its partnership with Volt, Textile Instruments has developed a fabric-based wearable platform with an ability to scale to the masses. A key aspect of the platform is the versatility of Volt’s conductive smart yarns that can be custom-made with passive sensors. Using NASA sensor technology that works without electrical connections (SanSEC), Textile Instruments partnered with Volt Wearable Tech to pair SanSEC with Volt’s highly conductive smart yarn to allow for application in any textile.
Susan Bernard, founder and CEO of Textile Instruments said that, “Winning the Future Textile Awards is a reflection of the revolutionary progress we are achieving in pairing wireless technology with functional textiles,†Also, “This is an exciting industry to be a part of as we help to craft the narrative and form strategic partnerships that are leading the way to create textiles of the future.â€
