Smart Water Management for the Textile
and Apparel Industry
The Giatex Project
>This project was created to help textile finishing companies tackle the challenge of excessive water consumption, one of the biggest obstacles to sustainability in the industry.
The goal is to develop innovative tools that enable companies to:
Reduce water consumption efficiently and sustainably
Make informed decisions about the final destination of wastewater
IOTECH contributes to this project by developing a smart water management platform designed to optimise the use of this vital resource, promoting a more sustainable and responsible textile industry.
A new paradigm for Water Management
Smart Water Management serving businesses for more precise and sustainable use, promoting water reuse and reducing consumption in full alignment with the needs of the textile industry.
Water Management Platform
An intelligent and flexible Water Management System designed to monitor and optimise water usage, adaptable to each company’s level of technological maturity.
Water Quality Analysis and Forecasting
Intuitive dashboards to analyse various water parameters, featuring predictive models that anticipate behaviour and quality, enabling proactive action throughout the production process.
IoT Connectivity
Real-time monitoring of production processes and water parameters, such as pH and turbidity, using advanced sensors to ensure efficiency and quality throughout the entire process.
Water Efficiency in the Textile Sector
The Giatex project is ambitious and of great importance, given the growing concern among companies about water scarcity. Focused on reducing consumption, minimising environmental impacts, and adopting sustainable practices, it brings together 27 entities led by Adalberto Textile Solution (ADALBERTO) and coordinated by CITEVE.
The project is structured into eight Work Packages (WPs), aligned with four strategic pillars of the Recovery and Resilience Plan:
Green Transition
Digital Transformation
Smart Growth
Economic Resilience
This integrated approach ensures that the project combines technological innovation, sustainability and the competitive development of the textile sector.
