COMPASS: A NEW DIMENSION IN TEXTILE TRACEABILITY
At the centre of Norsel’s showcase is COMPASS, its evolving software platform designed to bring greater transparency, control and connectivity to textile manufacturing.
Building on Norsel’s expertise in fabric identification and roll tracking, the COMPASS portfolio expands the possibilities of tracking products throughout the manufacturing journey.
- COMPASS RT – Roll
Tracking Designed to support fabric roll identification and traceability, COMPASS RT brings barcode-based tracking to production workflows. It supports visibility across multiple manufacturing stages, connecting information from yarn and knitting through dyeing, finishing and beyond. - COMPASS GT – Garment Tracking
Extending Norsel’s tracking capabilities into garment production, COMPASS GT supports the identification and tracking of garments, helping manufacturers improve production visibility and information management.
At ITMA ASIA, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the COMPASS solutions and learn more about their potential applications in modern textile production environments.
