- 1. APPLICATIONS OF IOT BASED E-TEXTILES Vijay Prakash, Prakhar Tripathi, I.P Mishra, Shubham Joshi, Soni Chaurasia Uttar Pradesh Textile Technology Institute (UPTTI), Kanpur, India *Corresponding author: prakashvijay649@gmail.com Introduction Smart wearables are the devices that are located near, on or in the body to provide intelligent services by means of communication interfaces. Smart clothes can be formed by incorporating smart wearables into the clothing which is the only wearable that can be adjust to human body in their daily routine .It represents a strong candidate to become the next face between human and digital world. Furthermore shirts are more common to wear than a wrist band or a chest strap. Thus IoT based smart textiles can efficiently be used to monitor health, work safety, tracking or personal productivity. Abstract : Smart textiles or E-Textiles are the fabrics that have been created by embedding smart wearables into garments. Clothing is the only wearable that can be adjust to our everyday lifestyle over the course of a lifetime. It appears as a strong candidate to become the next interface between the real and the digital world by replacing or extending the use of smartphones and other portable connected devices. . During the last few decades we have witnessed the increase in the demand of smart textiles based on IoT i.e. smart sportswear, smart dresses for army personals, smart medical textiles etc. IoT refers to a system in which many computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people are interrelated and are provided with a unique identification, Have the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring interaction between human to human or human to computer. These textiles have huge potential applications, such as the ability to communicate with other devices, transform into other materials, conduct energy and protect the wearer from environmental hazards. In the present time when all are concerned about their health so these Smart textiles can help to monitor their health parameters such as heart rate, perspiration rate, calorie count, sleep monitoring, body temperature through which we can do a simple self-assessment of our health. These functionalities can be achieved by incorporating different sensors into the garments. The basic material used to construct these smart textiles are conductive threads and yarns that can be pure metal based or blended with natural fibres, conductive polymer coated and special carbon based yarns. These smart textiles can sense and react to environmental conditions or stimuli, from mechanical, thermal, magnetic, chemical, electrical, or other sources. This paper focuses on the application of wearable smart textiles or e-textiles. Keywords: IoT based smart textiles, Wearable textiles, Sensors, Conductive polymers and Yarns Communication architecture Smart clothing application Application of smart textiles in medical field 1:- Medical textile with a lubricating drug-delivery dressing 2:- Wearable Motherboard for vital signs monitoring 3:- phototherapy blanket for new-borns’ jaundice treatment 1 2 3 Application of E-Textiles in military Application of smart textiles in sports Development of colour changing dress Fibre keyboard Smart performance jerseys have been developed that track all sorts of data during the team’s games and workouts. Coaches use metrics like speed, heart rate and distance to craft future training plans and develop game strategy. Conclusion This poster reviewed the present and future of smart wearable and clothing, providing a holistic approach on the IoT based E-textiles. The main types of smart wearable were distinguished and the most relevant subsystems of a smart garment were described, as well as their communications architecture. In addition, the most relevant examples of smart clothing applications were detailed, showing the potential of IoT- enabled smart garments. To sum up, this poster paper provided some information for future IoT smart garment designers and developers with the objective of making reality the concept of the Internet of Smart Clothing.

Conductive Yarns are made by inserting metallic fibres mixed with spun polyester and other fibres Methods of producing conductive yarns • Adding carbon or metals in different forms such as wires, fibres or particles (e.g. core spun, blends) • Using inherently conductive polymers • Coating with conductive substances Tracing through RFID Technology Application of smart textiles in industry Smart wearable and garments can also be used in the harsh working industrial environments or in mission-critical scenarios , where they are able to measure bio-signal indicators such as respiration rate, fatigue, stress, heart rate, location or the presence of poisonous gases and their influences on worker’s health. Moreover, in such scenarios wearable may provide real-time feedback to the users, which can enhance its productivity and safety.
