SOFTWARE APPLICATION USED AS TEACHING INSTRUMENT FOR TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN IN SPINNING MILL

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the manufacture of textile products has become a highly competitive activity and the success across the global textile market depends on many factors. Higher productivity, increased flexibility, constant quality products and quick response to the market requirements are competitive advantages that companies can achieve by using IT instruments. Production of high quality yarns is based on an assembly of technological and mechanical factors that are closely correlated with the characteristics of processed raw material. Designing the manufacturing technology in spinning mills is an important stage within the complex process of yarn manufacturing. It aims at obtaining the spinning plan that ensures the coordination of the equipment’s operating parameters and the correlation of its production capacities. Establishing the spinning plan parameters requires a large amount of work and assumes extended knowledge concerning the raw material characteristics, the spinning technology, the type and technical performances of the equipment, the level of yarns quality. Given the diversity and the large volume of data and calculations required to achieve the spinning plan, the efficiency of this activity may be increased by using specialized software designed for this purpose. This paper presents a software application used as a teaching instrument for technological design in spinning mills. The PFirLB software gathers all the information and provides the tools required to design the manufacturing technology in tow spinning mills. It is used for student training in order to teach them the skills for technological design, required by their future work as engineers in a spinning mill. The software was created with Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++ and runs in a Windows environment.
