ITMA Singapore 2025: A Clear Look at the New Era of Intelligent Textile Testing

The China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition took place in Singapore from October 28 to 31, 2025. It brought together more than 840 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions, filling 70,000 square meters of exhibition space. This year’s event made one thing very clear: testing instruments are no longer a supporting role — they’re now a central pillar of the global textile supply chain.

For the first time, textile testing was listed as an independent product category, signaling its rising strategic importance in production and quality assurance.

The Big Shift: Testing Instruments Move Toward Intelligence and Standardization

Automated and AI-Driven Testing Systems

As textile production speed increases and quality expectations tighten, testing machines are evolving fast.

Brands like ChiuVention showcased systems that can:

Identify samples automatically
Run fully automated test sequences
Use AI models to evaluate results
Send data instantly to cloud platforms on PC and mobile

This push toward automation is redefining how quality control is carried out across the textile industry.

Global Standards and Mutual Recognition Matter More Than Ever

In the modern textile supply chain, consistent and traceable data is essential. Brands, mills, and third-party labs all require test reports that align with internationally accepted standards.

ChiuVention’s machines support multiple global test methods, which users can switch between directly on the touchscreen — fast, simple, and with minimal steps. This matters in a world where the same fabric might be tested in five different countries during production.

The AATCC booth sat directly across from ChiuVention.

During the exhibition:

The AATCC President and Technical Director met with ChiuVention President Forrest and Vice President Alvin
AATCC formally invited ChiuVention to become a Gold Member
Both sides agreed to collaborate more closely on standards development and testing innovation

This partnership reflects how fast intelligent testing is becoming part of the global standard ecosystem.

International Brands Show Strong Interest

Many top global brands visited ChiuVention’s booth.

They recognized the company’s work in:

Research and development
Intelligent testing technology
Worldwide market expansion

The industry outlook felt clear: strong competition, but also mutual respect.

ChiuVention’s Booth: Smart Testing in the Spotlight

ChiuVention’s booth, designed by its German team, drew heavy attention thanks to its clean design and modern product presentation.

The machines on display reflected three core principles:

Smart
Reliable
User-friendly

Here’s what stood out.

SMART: SmartShrink Intelligent Shrinkage Tester

What it does:

Uses visual AI algorithms
Measures shrinkage and distortion in 5 seconds
Works for washing, steam pressing, and dry cleaning
Generates reports automatically
Sends data directly to ERP or LIMS

This represents textile shrinkage testing at a new level of speed and accuracy.

RELIABLE: HydroDetector Smart Hydrostatic Pressure Tester

What sets it apart:

Fully automatic detection of water breakthrough
Test progress tracked and recorded on video
Adaptive clamping system
Servo-controlled pressure for stable, accurate results

A strong example of technology replacing operator dependency.

USER-FRIENDLY: Smartindale Intelligent Abrasion & Pilling Tester

Key highlights:

Switch between abrasion and pilling with one touch
No need to change pins
Flip-top design for easy access
Soft-close guide plate
One-hand operation

Interestingly, a British brand at the show displayed a design clearly “inspired” by Smartindale — a design originally created by ChiuVention’s founder, Forrest Chiu, and first revealed at ITMA 2023.

Other Instruments Displayed
