Supple Mechanization in Textile Production
Supple Mechanization in Textile Production
By Gaurav Doshi
Textile manufacturing is perhaps one of the oldest known industries in India. It was in existence since the beginning of civilization, although a crude methodology has been used then. The total contribution towards textiles manufacturing in our country is approximately 20% of country s industrial production and is also treated as the backbone of economy. This contribution is about 1/3rd of the foreign exchange earned by the government.
The textile engineering industries have reviewed the status of technologies being used in India and has recommended major changes to the Indian textile Industry about the technology being used by the companies to improve their productivity and quality.
The level of automation of textile machinery has undergone a tremendous progress and due to the efforts of indigenous textile engineering companies we are now at a stage where industrial nations are few years back and as more and more technologies are developed indigenously the cost of production, maintenance and spare parts is reduced drastically as these charges lead to the escalation of the price of the end textile product. With more and more indigensation of the textile machinery, we are bound to get the quality at a very competitive price and compete with the international competitors. Now with the help of government agencies more money is being spent on research and development to make the Indian textiles more attractive and consistent.
Automation of the Textile Manufacturing has become the “catchphrase” for the textile manufacturing industry. Automation does play a major role in quality improvement and cost effectiveness of the process of textile manufacturing. In the early 80s and 90s, the modernization and technical developments in textiles concentrated mainly on the automation of the individual machines and processes.
Throughout the 1990s, Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Flexible Manufacturing Systems have played a major role in the production of the textile and clothing industries, both in developing as well as the developed countries. All these textile-manufacturing units would like their industry to be fully automated without any scope for errors and rejections of the exports. The industry has slowly adapted to the modern computer applications in textile operations to the era of computer integrated textile manufacturing.
CIM is one of the pioneering technologies to provide accessible information for each and every phase and division of a plant for the efficient management of the various processes of production. Make the data available for planning and control at strategic points to the top managers and supervisors so that any problem can be rectified immediately at the ground level.
