Digitizing the sense of touch – emtec Tactile Sensation Analyzer at ITF Intertex Portugal 2026 (4/1/26)

From May 19 – 21, emtec Electronic GmbH will participate in ITF Intertex Portugal in Porto. The German 
manufacturer will showcase its innovative TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer with the cloud solution 
Virtual Haptic Library at booth no. E23, highlighting its capabilities in objectively measuring the surface 
softness, surface smoothness and stretch & recovery of textiles together with their local 
representatives.
 
The two emtec representatives from team Global Business Development, Alexander Gruener and 
Markus Amthor, will be on site to demonstrate the TSA live and discuss its benefits for product 
processes, quality assurance and research. The device is already used by major players in the textile 
and nonwoven industries worldwide to digitize the evaluation of haptic parameters – enabling fast, 
repeatable, and globally comparable results. This makes it a key tool for aligning technical 
specifications with customer expectations. In combination with the cloud-based Virtual Haptic Library 
to quantify and digitize the haptic parameters of textiles, the TSA will upgrade the opportunities for 
saving resources.

Alongside with the sales team for Portugal, emtec will offer live demonstrations of the TSA and be 
available for in-depth discussions about how emtec’s technology supports process optimization, 
quality assurance, and product development. “The ITF Intertex Portugal 2026 is a valuable platform for 
us to connect directly with professionals across the textile value chain,” says Alexander Gruener. “It’s 
important for emtec to be present with both our innovative technology and our experienced team – to 
understand the market’s evolving needs and to demonstrate how our TSA can deliver real value in day-
to-day production, research and development.”

Visitors are warmly invited to stop by the emtec booth no. E23 at the International Exhibition Centre for 
a demonstration or to explore tailored solutions for their specific quality control challenges.
