ITMA 2023- a brief review
ITMA 2023 was set to be a transformative event in the world of textiles. Under the overarching theme of 'Transforming the World of Textiles', ITMA 2023 showcased the latest advances and trends in the industry with a particular focus on four key sub-themes: advanced materials, automation and the digital future, innovative technologies, and sustainability and the circular economy. The AUTEFA Solutions team was pleased to see the great interest in our machines and technologies.

Using a digital twin to reduce commissioning times
As published on Siemens.com
Reducing commissioning times – that is the immediate aim of Autefa Solutions, a well-known manufacturer of textile fiber baling presses, production lines and machines for the production of nonwovens as well as automation technologies, which is used in the beverage industry, for example. Digitalizing important parts of the line with perfectly interconnecting Siemens software tools represents an up-to-date method of achieving such a goal. The company plans to let future bale presses reach technical readiness in the form of a digital twin before they get commissioned in the real word – a process which, ideally, will take half as long as usual. In the current project, the company used a digital process to verify the concept for the world's fastest bale press with automatic packaging.
AUTEFA Solutions “Uni-Fork System” eliminates the bottleneck in the fiber production logistic.
As a global market leader in the field of fully automatic bale packing systems for staple fiber and tow Autefa Solutions offers the entire range from fiber transport to the baler, as well as bale transport and storage of the pressed, wrapped and strapped bales in bale warehouses. With its flexible baling concept, Autefa Solutions sets a benchmark in terms of fast growing fiber line capacities. Dirk Falise, Global Sales Director Autefa Solutions, explains: “We see a strong request in man-made fibers lines with highest capacity. The capacity of these Jumbo fibers lines increased nearly every year, there is no end in sight for this trend. A fiber production capacity of up to 800 t/day in the viscose industry is already in production realised by the Autefa Uni-Fork system. Worldwide the Viscose producers growing even faster related the possibilities of capacity. More information
AUTEFA Solutions increases capability of fibers supply chain
AUTEFA Solutions Germany, world market leader of automatic fiber logistics and manufacturer of hydraulic fiber presses presented a new machine concept two years ago with the UNI-FORK. The UNI-FORK optimizes the process of pressing a bale, increases the efficiency of the process and improves the quality of the fiber packing. In the meantime the process reached marketability and machines have already been installed at customers of AUTEFA Solutions successfully. More information
