From November 20 to 24, 2026, the company will present an innovation portfolio for filament, staple fibers and nonwovens at the necc in Shanghai, booth D45 in Hall 6.1. Barmag points to rising energy prices, growing sustainability demands, increasing labor shortages and an unprecedented need for flexibility as key drivers.

The core of the digitalisation message is atmos.io.

According to Barmag, every machine enters production with a “digital core” that continuously captures, analyses and distributes process data. Instead of fragmented information systems, atmos.io is positioned to create a fully connected manufacturing environment in which every bobbin carries its own digital identity from polymer processing to warehouse storage. The platform’s app-based architecture allows producers to select precisely the functionalities they require while integrating seamlessly into existing infrastructures.

“Production managers gain unprecedented transparency across entire operations. Quality deviations can be identified early, process parameters can be optimized instantly, and decisions become data-driven rather than assumption-based,” said André Wissenberg, Head of Marketing, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs at Barmag. “The future competition among yarn manufacturers will not be decided by who owns the most machines. It will be decided by who can transform production data into actionable intelligence. atmos.io is enabling exactly that transformation.”

With POY 2.0, Barmag links the digital layer to a redesigned process chain. The spinning concept is described as the result of a complete re-evaluation of the entire POY process chain, from spinning and quenching to winding, combined with a digital process control. At the heart of the system is the Barmag wings POY 2.0 winder, featuring a fully automatic string-up function. Barmag associates this capability with dramatically reduced startup times, minimised waste generation and lower operator intervention requirements.
