Sentire is an advanced fabric handle analysis system designed to transform subjective tactile evaluation into a measurable, comparable, and fully digital quality parameter. Built on academically validated engineering principles, Sentire converts fabric touch and feel into objective numerical data, delivering clear Pass/Fail results against reference fabrics and establishing a common technical language between manufacturers and brands. Compatible with woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics, the system combines automated sample loading, high repeatability, robust mechanical stability, and comprehensive reporting capabilities to streamline quality control processes while significantly reducing waste and logistical costs. With its robust centre-column design, direct sample observation, protective test environment, and precise calibration infrastructure, Sentire ensures reliable and repeatable results despite the unpredictable nature of textiles, making it a true digital decision-support platform for modern production environments.

Sentire objectively quantifies fabric handle through seven core tactile indices, providing a complete and standardized analysis of material feel:

• Creasability – Tendency of the fabric to wrinkle or form creases when compressed

• Stiffness – Structural resistance of the fabric to folding

• Crispness – Resistance to structural change when crumpled

• Resilience – Ability of the fabric to recover its original shape after deformation

• Stretchability – Capacity of the fabric to elongate under tension

• Roughness – Surface texture and perceived surface irregularity

• Sponginess – Sense of fullness and cushioning within the fabric structure

By analysing these indices, Sentire goes beyond simple measurement. It performs tolerance-based comparisons between reference and test fabrics, visually and numerically highlighting deviations and enabling immediate identification of process-related variations. The result is a fully data-driven approach to fabric handle evaluation — where touch is no longer subjective perception, but a controlled, measurable, and globally understandable engineering parameter.
