LOOMIA
LOOMIA is a smart fabric company producing patented flexible, washable fabric circuits that can heat, light, sense, and collect data.
LOOMIA's core product is the LOOMIA Electronic Layer (LEL), a proprietary blend of drapable circuits that can be seamlessly embedded into textiles for heating, lighting, sensing or data-collecting applications.
LOOMIA is also developing the LOOMIA TILE platform, which gathers and stores product data collected through a TILE Tag in . Data collected includes frequency/length of use, number of washes, and environmental conditions. The associated mobile app leverages the blockchain for security.
History[edit]
LOOMIA was founded by Madison Maxey [1] in 2014 as The Crated, a consulting studio that helped companies integrate technology into their existing products. Madison Maxey is a creative technologist who is credited with the flexible and drapable circuitry layer that comprises LOOMIA’S core technology today.
In 2015, Janett Liriano joined the LOOMIA team and helped drive the strategy behind the company's B2B shift. [2]She is currently the company's CEO.
The company grew out of the New Lab in Brooklyn, NY and is now headquartered in Chinatown, New York City.
Technology[edit]
The LOOMIA Electronic Layer is a circuitry layer that is creasable and washable, bringing functionality to textiles in apparel and beyond. Similar to how one can pattern a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to carry out various functions, the LEL can be patterned to be an antenna, light up LEDS, sense Cap touch, and heat.[1]
The LOOMIA Tile is a data-gathering smart tag that creates a direct exchange between the brand and consumer, providing product and user insights for brands, and TILE tokens for the user. The TILE tokens will open a system of decentralized rewards. The system is completely opt-in and gives users complete control over their data.
According to a recent team update on its Telegram, development for the platform is ongoing and will soon be open for beta testing.
