Can Management

Card Cans or Drawing Cans have to be typically identified with either colors or a colored thread wound around it for count identification.

As the Technology moved forward, none of the can makers worked on putting up a small LCD display showing the count of the sliver packed into it.

LCD display cost less then a Dollar , however, makes the can a more smarter entity in the spinning block. The LCD could have a numeral entry under it and it could either be remote entered with the count or press entered.

A further generation of can will any case have a motorized system, which will drive it to the lazing bay automatically on getting packed . It will also show the Number of meters of sliver or kgs of sliver packed into it , so at any given time the work in process is fully controlled.

All it needs is a Infra Red control points which will guide it to the destination from the control room.

Spinning will be control room managed, where the production chief manages most inputs on a screen and gets a visual display in real time of all the machines and quality graphs . The maintenance chief gets the error reports of machines and power consumption in real time.

Future of Spinning needs to be redefined. However, unless the industry pushes the machine makers to factor these demands, it will never happen in short time.
