A fabric for a paper or pulp technology has a longitudinal direction (MD) and a cross direction (CMD), and a first surface (FS) and a second surface (SS) in a fabric thickness direction (TD). The fabric () extends in the cross direction (CMD) from a first edge (FG) to a second edge (SG). The fabric () has an adaptable medium comprising at least one sensor. The adaptable medium is a deformable structure that adapts to the fabric where it is inserted and may be a string or a sheet configured to detect temperature, temperature profile, wear, volatile organic compounds (VOC), humidity, pH, microbial level, organic and inorganic material content, dirt content, flow rate and flow velocity field, or pressure in a nip. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a fabric for a paper or pulp technology.
