Textiles arrive piled, folded, mixed, and unstructured.
Machines struggle to identify them.
MCode™ embeds machine-readable information directly into textile seams so automated systems can detect, identify, and process items automatically.
Built for Real-World Textile Operations
Textile articles rarely arrive flat, folded, or properly oriented. MCode™ enables automated systems to identify and process textiles even when items are piled, mixed, folded, or only partially visible.
The Code Becomes Part of the Garment
Textiles arrive piled, folded, mixed, and unstructured. Machines struggle to identify them.
MCode™ embeds machine-readable information directly into textile seams, enabling automated detection, identifications, sorting, and handling
One Code.
Multiple Applications.
MCode™ embedded in the seam enables robotic systems to identify, orient, sort, and process textiles automatically across a wide range of use cases.
Laundry Processing
Identify and route items through automated wash systems.
Robotic Handling
Detect orientation and position for precise picking, folding, and stacking.
Inventory Management
Track and manage textiles throughout their lifecycle in real time.
Textile Recycling
Identify fiber content and streamline sorting for recycling.
Machine-Readable Information built into the textile itself.
MCode™ uses seam-integrated stitch encoding to embed machine-readable information directly into textiles. Robotic systems can identify, orient, sort, and process fabric articles without relying on external labels or visible printed markers.
Designed for Automated Textile Operations
MCode™ enables machines to understand textiles—unlocking the next generation of automation.
Hospitality & Linen Services
Enable robotic identification and classification of textile articles.
Healthcare & Medical Textiles
Assist automated folding, orientation, transport, and processing workflows.
Uniform & Workwear Programs
Improve high-volume linen processing for hospitality, healthcare, and textile services.
Textile Recycling Operations
Connect physical textiles to digital lifecycle records and future traceability systems.
Industrial Laundry Automation
Enable robotic identification and classification of textile articles.
Textile Lifecycle Tracking
Connect physical textiles to digital lifecycle records and future traceability systems.
Built for the Circular Textile Economy
MCode™ can help enable scalable textile recycling by embedding material and handling information directly into textile structures—supporting automated identification, sorting, and downstream recovery workflows.
