Italy-based Savio will showcase its latest textile machinery innovations at ITMA ASIA Shanghai 2026. The company will highlight new developments in winding and spinning technology. This year, its focus will be on automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital integration. Two key machines, Proxima Smartconer® and Lybra Smartspinner®, will lead the showcase.
Proxima Smartconer®: Advancing Smart Winding Technology
Savio offers Proxima Smartconer® in several configurations to meet different production needs. These include fully automatic, manual feeding, cone-to-cone, Duo Lot and large bobbin feeding for the carded wool sector.
The machine combines energy-saving features with improved bobbin flow and AI-powered functions. It also works with Savio Insight, a web-based system that helps manufacturers monitor and control production in real time.
Key features include:
- Savio Insight: The system allows remote machine setup, data tracking and performance analysis. As a result, manufacturers can make better decisions during the winding process.
- New patented suction nozzle: Savio has introduced a new suction nozzle in the preparation area. It improves yarn-end capture and reduces energy use. In addition, it helps lower operating costs while maintaining product quality and machine reliability.
- AI-powered functions: Adaptive tension control, smart metering and intelligent bobbin flow management improve automation and precision.
Overall, Proxima Smartconer® aims to deliver high productivity, lower energy use and premium yarn quality. It also offers seamless data connectivity to support modern textile production.
Lybra Smartspinner®: A Flexible Air-Jet Spinning Solution
Under the theme We Spin Different, Savio will present its Lybra Smartspinner® air-jet spinning machine. The machine uses an original spinning technology for specific textile applications. These include knitting, home textiles and sunshades.
One of its main features is the Multi Blend System. It allows manufacturers to feed two slivers directly into the spinning chamber. The machine then blends the fibres in real time.
This system offers several benefits:
- Manufacturers can change blend compositions directly through the machine PC.
- It helps reduce costs and simplify preparation lines.
- It supports the creation of unique material and colour blends, including melange effects.
Furthermore, Lybra Smartspinner® combines flexibility, efficiency and ease of operation. It helps manufacturers achieve high production rates while reducing processing costs.
Focus on Automation and Digital Integration
At ITMA ASIA Shanghai 2026, Savio will highlight its latest developments in smart winding and flexible spinning technology.
Both machines serve different stages of yarn production. Proxima Smartconer® focuses on automated winding, production monitoring and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, Lybra Smartspinner® offers greater flexibility in fibre blending and air-jet spinning.
Together, these machines demonstrate Savio’s focus on AI, automation and digital connectivity. They also highlight how modern textile machinery can improve production efficiency, yarn quality and manufacturing flexibility.
