How Does The Industrial 4 Solution Affect The Textile Process Chain?

On ITMA 2019, more than 220 exhibitors from Germany participated in the exhibition. Germany's machinery manufacturers exhibited an overall exhibition area of over 21 thousand square meters. Compared with ITMA 2015, the booth area increased by about 3.5%. The more than 110 German machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA) member enterprises in Barcelona demonstrated the most advanced technology solutions and applications of industrial 4, also known as intelligent and integrated manufacturing industry, including intelligent services.

At the VDMA press conference of ITMA 2019, a spokesman for 11 famous VDMA member companies said that the industrial 4 solution will affect the textile process chain.

Marcus Ott, director and general manager of Halo company

In our view, the textile industry needs customized IT solutions to achieve the highest level of data transparency. Direct communication between people and machines can not only consistently and transparently present all relevant data, but also provide flexible and important mobile access rights for employees.

Christof Soest, chief technology officer of the company

Excellent spinning preparation is very important for yarn quality. I4.0 technology helps to make this process more intelligent in the company of the company. By integrating intelligent, self optimizing mechanical solutions and digital systems, the company can make a big step towards automation and ensure consistent quality.

Carle Meyer, director and general manager of KM.ON, Anton Gottschalk

In ITMA 2019, we set up a bridge from machine building to application and textiles, showing 7 innovative machines, in-depth understanding of the future of textiles and displaying the new digital solutions of KM.ON. Our digital brand products can significantly improve the flow of all business sectors. For example, k.production can effectively analyze and eliminate failures in the production process. In addition, our software start-up company KM.ON has established its first overseas subsidiary in Asia. In this way, we can enhance the supply capacity of key areas and receive important new developments from major markets.

KlausA. Heinrichs, vice president of Fuji Corp

With the advanced sensor technology of door Fuji Corp, all the technical data of all devices can be virtually mapped to the cloud in real time. The data in the cloud indicate that the current state of the system and its respective parameters can map the whole production process, achieve targeted analysis and controlled planning and production: optimize the actual production process through data analysis, real-time state summary can improve machine availability, and at the same time minimize downtime, and predict and eliminate potential sources of error. Digital twins provide information about various vulnerable parts of the system. Operators can see how long the wearing parts will last and when they must be maintained or replaced in advance. Direct access to the integrated gate of Fuji's online store, users can press the button when necessary to order worn spare parts, thereby preventing machine downtime.

Neuenhauser Maschinenbau company head Wilhelm Langius

Neuenhauser has seen the latest development of autopilot and navigation system. AGV is necessary for spinning mills in the future. AGV stands for automated guided vehicles. This technology has existed for many years, but the industry 4 has recently been introduced. In the shortest time, our team developed a state-of-the-art transportation system using a large number of intelligent guided vehicles. At the 2019 ITMA exhibition, we first showed our AGVS to the professional audience, and we were very excited about this feedback.
