TAIPEI, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital technology
is playing a transformative role in our everyday life, shaping not
only how we interact with the world around us and but also
ourselves. The impact of this trend is most prevalent when
examining the wellness landscape, where consumers continue to
embrace technologies such as wearable, AI, and other digital
technologies to improve their health and everyday life. According
to the latest study by McKinsey, the global wellness market is
estimated to be worth $1.8 trillion
by 2024, with the U.S market alone will reach $480 billion this year, growing at 5~10 percent
per year. The key trends that will define this $1.8 trillion wellness markets include digital
health, next gen wearable technologies and Gen AI.
To cater to this growing market, SINBON and MAKALOT partner to
bring the benefits of textile wearables to industries worldwide.
SINBON and MAKALOT's unique Soft Electronics/Textile product
creation platform provides a comprehensive development, validation
to production service for brands aiming to launch textile wearable
products into global markets. As a first step, the companies have
collaborated with a U.S fitness tech startup to introduce a
revolutionary EMS home fitness suit to the US market this year.
Going forward, SINBON and MAKALOT plan to leverage the Soft
Electronics/Textile product creation platform to expand their
services to partners across multiple industries including Medical,
Industrials and Consumers.
A new era of Electronics/Textile collaboration
A critical pain point for any ambitious company that wants to
launch a revolutionary product is finding the right partner that it
can count on for innovations, flexibility, speed and quality.
SINBON and MAKALOT's Soft Electronics/Textile product creation
platform offers exactly what a startup needs and more. SINBON and
MAKALOT first joint project involved developing a one-of-a-kind
smart EMS home fitness suit with an US fitness tech startup. The
product aims at providing the world's most efficient workout
experience by leveraging the technology of Electrical Muscle
Stimulation (EMS). Unlike any traditional EMS training product,
which requires a trip to a studio and the physical presence of a
trainer, this revolutionary product democratizes access to the
transformative power of EMS by integrating every required hardware
into a single suit, including the connectors, wire harness and
electrode pads. The suit is a FDA Class II medical device and
entirely machine washable.
Choosing to work with SINBON/MAKALOT, this fitness startup had
successfully launched their products and achieved critical acclaim
by being named one of the Best Inventions in 2023 by Time. All of
the electronic components were developed by SINBON to be soft,
flexible and machine washable; these components were then
integrated seamlessly into the garment using MAKALOT's
textile/electronic integration technology. Unlike most wearable
that cannot survive a washing machine, every suit is built to
withstand rigorous wear and tear and multiple laundry cycles; going
through rigorous testing to ensure reliability, durability and
functionality in SINBON/MAKALOT in-house testing facility including
bending, swinging, abrasion, tensile strength and washing tests in
accordance with IEC, ASTM and AATCC standards. Furthermore, custom
testing fixture, tools and software were developed and built by
SINBON to support suit production IQC and FQC to ensure final
products' functionality and quality. Finally, SINBON/MAKALOT's
experience and expertise in medical device development and
production has ensured that the product is developed and
manufactured in accordance with the highest standard of ISO-13485
medical device quality management system.
The vision: Textile Wearable for all industries
The Companies envision a future where the benefits of textile
wearables empower users across multiple industries, including
Medical, Industrials and Consumers. "We are excited about the
potentials and opportunities that textile wearables might bring.
For example, textile can integrate with robotic and AI technology
to create soft exoskeleton suits that not only can augment human
capabilities in various ways, including rehabilitation for patients
with mobility issues or injury prevention for workers in
labor-intensive industry such as manufacturing or logistics, but
also provide comfort and ease of use for the users." Says Jimmy
Chou, Product Innovation Manager at MAKALOT. With SINBON's
industry-leading technology solutions in the Medical, Automotive,
Green Energy, Industrial, and Communication sectors, it continues
to innovate, turning vision into reality, while also upholding its
commitment to corporate social responsibility and striving to be a
sustainable enterprise, combined with MAKALOT'S textile/electronic
integration solution, the sky is the limit for SINBON/MAKALOT's
Soft Electronics/Textile product creation platform and exciting
future awaits as more innovations are on the horizon!
