Spiderweb uses the software of OLAP and Data Mining. Many IT companies provide this software and it was relatively easy to plug in this system to any kind of machines and equipments in a mill. Rieter has come out with this solution and has called it Spiderweb. I don't know, if Spiderweb is generic for the software or it is the Brand of Rieter.
Secondly, with wireless IP being available so cheaply, the data can be monitored remotely even sitting in head offices several cities or countries away.
Interestingly, it also alarms the users, if the quality parameters deviates and this keeps the quality on auto check mode.
More important is the use of the raw data into meaningful interpretation of
Power Guzzlers equipment's and the changes done to cut the energy usage .
Machine breakdowns and historical cost associated with it.
Quality linked to fiber input quality, machine variables, changes in accessories or any subjective control which needs to be monitored online in real time.
Efficiency monitoring in real time .
One could go a step forward and make changes online from a remote location to change speeds or parameters of the machine.
Now with only Robots missing from the scene, the whole mill can be remote controlled from any location and run fully with artifical intelligence. Though can handling robots are now available in the market and hence soon we will already have cans being handled by robots. Rest is all about threading in on various machines. I reckon a gang of 15 to 20 workers will be already enough to run a spinning plant of 25K spindles.
The system is very simple and any mill can design it by themselves, if they have a good IT department. A sensor linked to the top rollers of all the machines gives the productivity and a sensor linked to the quality gadgets monitors the quality in real time. This data is then used by the OLAP software ( Online Data Processing )
Those vending ERP solutions for Textiles should make use of this opportunity and capture this very large market.
The system can work on any equipment , whether it is knitting or dyeing or spinning or weaving.
Further, Image processing data will soon take over the quality screening in real time .
