Artificial Intelligence Paves the Way to Autonomous Manufacturing

DRESDEN, Germany - Sept. 20, 2022 - PRLog -- Dresden (Germany)/ Da Lat (Vietnam), 20th September 2022 - The Detact^® software platform, an innovative tool set for the autonomous manufacturing of the future, is now also being used in Vietnam: The state-of-the-art wool yarn spinning mill 'Dalat Worsted Spinning' (DWS Vietnam), a subsidiary of the German Südwolle Group, will in future use Detact to systematically monitor its automated production and detect possible deviations in the process chain area at an early stage.

For this purpose, Detact will bundle countless process and quality data from the manufacturing shop floor of DWS Vietnam in a special cloud, analyse them and visualise them like a classic MES (Manufacturing Execution System). But Detact goes far beyond these classic MES functions: the Big Data-capable and scalable system makes complex interactions visible and offers individual notifications as valuable recommendations for action for production planners and plant operators. This valuable information is generated using artificial intelligence (AI) methods, for example.

The project goal:
With the help of Detact, DWS Vietnam wants to ensure that the manufacturing processes on all machines are stable at any time, that external factors do not exert negative influences and that more than 400 different products are manufactured in the shortest possible time without loss of quality.

Alessandro Di Palma, General Director at Dalat Worsted Spinning Limited, explains: "We want to ensure that the quality of our products is at 100 per cent. At the same time, of course, we have to produce quickly and efficiently. Therefore, we need extremely stable processes on all mills. With this in mind, we decided to Implement continuous inline measurement. [...] We have been looking for a solution that really suits us for a long time. We finally found it with Detact, because this software analyses our data in real time and compares them continuously. And: it can be adapted to our conditions, easily. As soon as we have trained the AI, it knows how long or thick a thread has to be so that it meets all our requirements. The same applies to the twist and weight of the bobbin, but also to other factors such as humidity and much more. [...]"
