Located in Serbia, Stotex d.o.o. is among the Republic’s top producers of high-quality home and hospitality textiles. With a commitment to excellence and adaptability they operate with an impressive in-house production capacity, allowing them to cater dynamically to their clients’ needs and uphold rigorous quality standards, such as ISO 9001:2019. Their mission revolves around seamlessly combining production, wholesale, and retail capabilities, making Stotex a trusted partner in both domestic and international textile markets.
Embracing Digital Innovation
In their latest technological leap, they’ve implemented an innovative digital twin system, EcoTexTwin, aimed at transforming their production toward sustainability. Using AI-driven insights and real-time monitoring, EcoTexTwin retrofits the textile processing machinery, providing a digital simulation of their production processes. This allows optimising processes autonomously and proactively managing production behaviours in a controlled, digital environment. In addition to enhancing their adaptability, EcoTexTwin represents a strategic move to secure our competitive advantage in sustainable production.
The Benefits of EcoTexTwin
Since deploying the EcoTexTwin, they have observed several substantial benefits that are reshaping their operations. Most notably, the system has uncovered opportunities for reducing energy consumption, identified specific process modes impacting our environmental footprint, and provided critical data to meet EU environmental reporting standards. This intelligent system’s affordability and ease of installation – requiring just 2-3 hours to set up -make it a highly accessible solution with minimal need for ongoing expert intervention, all while enabling self-regulating maintenance through a continuous data observation layer.
A Sustainable Future
Looking ahead, they have ambitious plans to expand this digital twin framework across additional processes and assets. Future updates will incorporate product quality insights, such as an anomaly detection system, ensuring a comprehensive tool for monitoring both eco-friendliness and product integrity. These extensions will allow them not only to enhance their own sustainability image but also to deliver new value to their clients through optimised energy and environmental management services. Stotex, as the representatives say, is thrilled by the impact EcoTexTwin has had so far. As their first foray into digital twin technology, it has proven invaluable in enabling them to understand and control the energy and environmental implications of their processes. With this system, Stotex d.o.o. is positioned to lead in sustainable textile production, offering customers both quality and environmental responsibility.
It was the first digital twin implementation for our company, and the results are very positive. Especially important is the possibility to understand the impact of particular process modes on energy consumption and environmental aspects,” shared one of Stotex team leaders.
With EcoTexTwin, Stotex d.o.o. is setting a new standard in the textile industry for responsible, data-driven production – one that we are excited to build upon as we continue to innovate for a greener future.
