LMW moving towards complete automation and digitalisation

Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW) prides itself to be participating in this edition of the milestone ITMA Asia +CITME 2018 event at Shanghai. At LMW, we have always strived to make tomorrow’s technology available today, by constantly striving to stay ahead of the innovation curve.

Being a well-established leader in the field of textile machinery globally with industry-defining products across the textile machinery value chain, LMW is marching ahead with an unwavering focus on exceeding customer expectations. Our products have always focused on the three pillars of modern manufacturing: Automation, Digitalization, and Sustainability.

Automation

Today’s world of textile manufacturing is a tightrope walk that needs careful balance of time, material and human potential. From Blowroom to Ring frame, LMW’s range of machines comes with the right blend of automation at every step, tailored to reduce the stress of operators and increase overall efficiencies for businesses.

LMW’s Carding machines are workhorses that use up to 10 percent less power compared to other alternatives. LMW’s latest DrawFrame machines come fit with Servo Draft, a combination of drafting and duo digital autolevelling systems that ensures top productivity and precision. LMW’s DrawFrame LDF3 has smart auto piecing system and quality settings that maximize efficiency.

With the right amount of automation and simplicity of construction, our Speedframe LF 4280, arguably the world’s longest speed frame with 280 spindles, is a winning case that has set new benchmarks in productivity, quality and efficiency. Automation in lap transportation and roving transportation have helped save precious manual labour and make the best use of space.

Digitalization

Digitalization brings unprecedented fluidity in tracking, extraordinary precision in manufacturing, and completely empowers the decision makers who run the show. LMW’s customer service portal offers ‘e-Spares’ ordering and tracking of spares, which ease the customer experience greatly.

LMW’s SpinConnect platform is a web-based monitoring and control application that can control a multitude of parameters for smart manufacturing.  The platform is a veritable solution that is entirely built in-house, banking on the company’s decades-long experience in the field. The result is a fluid, digital native platform that is empowered to track and control key parameters of LMW’s range of machines. Spin Connect – All in one place, on a palatable, easy-to-operate digital format is truly a customer delight.

Sustainability

LMW believes in doing more in less. It is a part of our thinking muscle that we employ in everything that we do. Our range of machines have been built from ground-up, with thorough and comprehensive understanding of the customer and the operating conditions and demands in the trade. LMW’s machines are not only long-lasting, but are built consciously with sustainable input materials. Our design philosophy has had a laser focus on continuous simplification of operations by having a pulse check on what operators think and feel during the run-time of our machines.

The textile spinning industry is experiencing dual cost challenges in the form of energy and skilled personnel. LMW ensures that it integrates nothing but the best motors and drives, and raw material that are not only cost effective, but also highly efficient and long-running, which helps customers run sustainable industries. LMW has consistently upped the game in its investments in Research and Development (R&D) to provide the technological edge for the customer.

From a sustainability standpoint, LMW’s machines offer tremendous long-term value to customers. The inherent energy-focused design makes our machines consume the least power for its performance range. Maintenance is a key area where LMW’s decades-long experience in manufacturing, and precious interactions with customers come handy. The company has mastered the art of including only those elements that promise economic efficiency and sustainability in their operations.

This year at ITMA Shanghai, LMW is pleased to offer you a ringside view of LMW’s latest capabilities and industry-leading features through our demonstrations and showcase stories. Our innovations in automation and design advances are all available in one place for you to experience and interact. Visit us at Stall number C08 in Hall H1 to get to know us and our offerings better.
