Picanol To Showcase AirOne And Premiere SmartShed At India ITME 2026
Picanol will showcase its new AirOne airjet weaving machines on the Indian subcontinent at India ITME 2026, scheduled for December 4–9 at the India Exposition Mart in Greater Noida. The company will display three airjet weaving machines at Hall 15, Booth E10, including two AirOne models, with one featuring the world premiere of its SmartShed solution.
The AirOne-4-E 190 will demonstrate poplin weaving with a crank shedding system, highlighting energy efficiency, shed angle adjustment and automated lubrication. The second model, the AirOne-4-D 190, will feature SmartShed Pro, combining high-speed production with the flexibility to weave beyond plain fabrics. Both machines incorporate technologies such as AirStream, EcoBoost, EcoWeft and WeavePilot.
“Together with my team, I’m particularly excited and proud that we have the opportunity to bring two of the new AirOne airjet machines to the stage here in India,” said Kasiviswanathan Palanisamy, Director of Picanol India. He added that customer-site testing had demonstrated the machine’s performance, energy efficiency and competitive total cost of ownership.
Completing the machinery display will be the OmniPlus-i Connect-4-R 230, configured for denim weaving. Its features include electronic pressure settings, air consumption monitoring and automated pick repair.
Picanol will also demonstrate PicConnect, its centralised digital platform for machine monitoring, service applications and weave-room management. Visitors will get a first look at AI-powered applications within the platform.
