Industrial Engineering, Time & Motion
Builds a sewing standard minute value from motion elements without a time study: TMU for GET and PUT motions at the working distance, total motion time, basic time including machine time, the allowed SMV and output per hour.
Calculator
Machine Performance & OEE
Tracks reliability of critical textile plant assets: mean time between failures and mean time to repair from a maintenance record, resulting availability, failure rate per thousand operating hours, the repair time a target availability permits and annual downtime.
Calculator
Machine Performance & OEE
Standardises weaving stop rates for benchmarking: total picks inserted, overall CMPX and the warp and weft components separately, total stops, machine time lost to them and the efficiency that represents.
Calculator
Mill Operations & Industrial Engineering
Compares fabric order allocation across loom types: metres per hour on air-jet and rapier from insertion rate and pick density, contribution per machine hour on each, the margin advantage of the better choice, width utilisation and machine hours to complete the order.
Calculator
Mill Operations & Industrial Engineering
Balances metal protection against oil staining on circular knitting machines: film demand from needle count and speed, centrifugal throw-off from surface speed and viscosity, the feed rate actually required, surplus over it, a staining risk index and oil consumed per shift.
Calculator
Machine Performance & OEE
Locates the element causing a periodic knitting fault: needle pitch and cylinder circumference, the suspect needle number from a measured line position, defect repeat distance in fabric, defects per metre, course rate and fabric production speed.
Calculator
Mill Operations & Industrial Engineering
Synchronises spinning output to weaving consumption: weft demand per loom and across the shed, packages consumed per day, the balance against mill output, buffer stock for a chosen cover and how often each loom needs a fresh package.
Calculator
Machine Performance & OEE
Separates the two production losses on a ring frame: potential output at full spindle complement, production lost to idle spindles, pneumafil waste from broken ends, good production remaining, and the end-break rate implied per thousand spindle hours.
Calculator
Factory Physics & Assembly Logistics
Sizes a humidification plant from a moisture balance: water evaporated per hour to lift the air from inlet to target humidity, the air-to-water ratio, water actually supplied at the spray efficiency, and the evaporative cooling that comes with it.
Calculator
Factory Physics & Assembly Logistics
Predicts boarding shrinkage of a seamless garment from temperature and dwell against a reference setting, giving the finished length it produces and the greige length needed to land on a target measurement.
