Printing and Dyeing Machine Networking MES System

The energy-management functions in the supplied material cover plant and workshop monitoring, remote meter reading, energy records by machine and workgroup, year-on-year comparison and order-level energy-cost records. Water and steam use can also be recorded by machine model.

For equipment operations, the system captures working time and classifies downtime such as cleaning, sampling, material changes, product changes, equipment faults and fabric shortages. These records provide a basis for planning and process review.

The equipment-parameter environment can bring together customer samples, colour matching, sample prescriptions, approved samples, dye formulations, production processes and dye-addition information. Technical teams can maintain standard process archives for regular products.

Barcode and RFID identification can connect raw, semi-finished and finished fabric batches to transfer records across production stages. When connected to ERP, these records support a current view of batch location and production reporting.

The source also covers machine-status monitoring, dynamic operating data such as speed, temperature, current and tension, maintenance records, and workshop dashboards for conveying operational information and alerts.
