profitability.
The new system also
incorporates advanced
data management ca-
pabilities allowing cus-
tomers to integrate
directly into in-house
quality management
systems in compliance
with the latest interna-
tional standards such as
GAMP.
A range of “black-
box” variants is now
available for seamless
integration into OEM
control systems or exist-
ing plant SCADA sys-
tems.
The system can be
put to a wide range of applica-
tions, from loose fibre processing,
through to healthcare and sanitary
textiles and nonwovens. Many of
the new features have been ex-
tended to the portable Labcom 8+
system aimed at laboratory and
in-plant rapid testing and trouble-
shooting.
The new Factory Wizard system,
which provides low-cost moni-
toring of production data from a
wide range of machines, sensors
and productivity indicators within
a plant, has also benefited from
new data management capabili-
ties with web access available to
a plant manager in order to pro-
vide real-time information on pro-
duction performance of the plant
from any location with an internet
connection. The system is modular
allowing basic installations to be
expanded progressively.
In addition to gen-
eral modules, custom
solutions have been
developed for popular
specific applications,
such as ScourWizard,
which encompasses all
the necessary require-
ments for processing
fibres in liquid, e.g.,
wool scouring, cotton
bleaching, fire retard-
ant application, etc.
Similar customised sys-
tems are available for
such applications as
carding, spinning and
nonwoven plants.
