Case study · a global fiber manufacturer
One crystal in the fiber. Savings in the plant, proof in the market.
A global spandex fiber manufacturer adds Intelligent Material at a few parts per million. Reading it at seven injection points let its plants cut an expensive ingredient by about 30 %, and the same identity follows the fiber all the way to the garment.
Proof story · fiber manufacturer
One crystal. Operations, traceability and authentication.
A global fiber manufacturer embeds Intelligent Material at a few parts per million in its finished fiber. The same permanent identity pays for itself in the plant and protects the brand in the market.
Reading signal strength at seven injection points lets operators run the expensive ingredient at about 1.05 % instead of 1.5 %.
Plants, lines and machines carry different signatures, so a field failure traces back to where and on what equipment the fiber was made.
Premium apparel brands receive readers to check that third-party mills used the genuine fiber.
Bespoke readers turn sourcing policy into something inspectors can check.
Simplified yes / no readers screen large shipments quickly and deter bulk substitution.
IMS has been a reliable supplier delivering hundreds of kilograms of material per year on time and within specifications to our facilities globally in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. In addition to being a reliable supplier, IMS has been a partner in working with us to design and optimize materials to meet our specific needs. I highly recommend [IMS] as a trusted and reliable supplier.
