India’s legendary “Indian fabric” and rich textile heritage are being digitized with ELİAR’s AI and IoT-supported automation solutions. Quality, efficiency, and sustainability in fabric dyeing and wet textile processes are reaching new heights.

India, known for producing the world’s most valuable fabrics along the Silk Road and for its renowned “rare Indian fabric,” sits at the heart of textile history. This ancient heritage is now revived with ELİAR’s advanced industrial textile solutions, combining the craftsmanship of the past with the innovations of the digital age. With 40 years of expertise in textile finishing, ELİAR blends its knowledge with this heritage, modernizing India’s traditional textile processes for the digital era through automation systems in dyeing and textile wet processing.

The story of ELİAR had been in India since 2004, and since then increasing the strength with various liquid & powder chemical and dyestuff dosing automation systems, as well as many of the dyeing machine controllers and supervisory software.

Even as traditional methods for fabric & yarn dyeing continues to have a strong influence, ELİAR has been a key player in introducing automation technologies to the Indian market, driving the modernization of these methods. Its dosing automation systems ensure precision at every step, from chemical dosing to the application of correct recipes. As a result, dyeing processes are optimized, costs are reduced, and quality is elevated to the highest level. India’s robust industrial textile infrastructure is further strengthened by ELİAR’s solutions.

Technology-Driven Transformation in the Textile Industry

Despite long decades of being active for controllers and dosing automation systems, ELİAR always looks forward to increasing the strength in the industry with the innovation perspective coming from its R&D culture and roots.

Hence, with the adaptation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to the industry, ELİAR is contributing to the transformation of textile factories in India by digitizing dyeing processes. Leveraging its R&D capabilities, ELİAR uses advanced technologies such as IoT and AI to enable data sharing between machines and the optimization of production processes.

India is not merely a secondary market for ELİAR; it is positioned as a main market for last decade. The company approaches customer relationships not only as a product vendor but as a solution partner, focusing on long-term collaborations. ELİAR takes the time to examine its customer’s production lines in detail, offering automation solutions that boost efficiency without the need to increase the number of machines. This distinctive approach sets ELİAR apart in a competitive market.

Through its strategic partnership with local partner Batliboi, ELİAR provides quick and localized solutions to companies in the Indian market, ensuring both efficiency and quality are significantly improved. Indeed, increasing collaborations with leading textile companies in India reinforce ELİAR’s strategic position in the market.

Investing in the Future of Textiles and Talent Development

In addition to optimizing textile dyeing processes, ELİAR is committed to investing in local human resources in India. Through its ELİAR Academy programs, the company trains local experts and contributes significantly to the digital transformation of the Indian textile industry. In this way, ELİAR not only fosters the development of India’s industrial textile sector but also nurtures local talent, ensuring they become integral to the industry.

One of ELİAR’s most exciting innovations—smart sensors—will soon be introduced to the Indian market. These sensors, which measure the key parameters for dyeing like conductivity, color, and pH levels, will enhance the efficiency and intelligence of dyeing processes, further propelling the Indian industrial textile sector forward. This boost in efficiency will help India’s textile industry to reach new heights.

ELİAR’s journey in India is progressing patiently and meticulously, like the weaving of fabric stitch by stitch. This industrial textile journey, spanning from the Silk Road to the modern age, is being reshaped by ELİAR’s solutions. With 40 years of expertise, ELİAR is merging India’s unique textile heritage with the needs of the digital age, ensuring sustainable growth in both local and global markets.
