Abstract

Weaving industries rely on precise and efficient operations to ensure high-quality output and minimal downtime. This article pays attention to implementing a real-time observation and management system for textile appliances using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The system integrates sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces to automate and optimize processes like spinning, weaving, and dyeing. Parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, and machine conditions are continuously monitored to ensure predefined standards. Real-time data acquisition and control enable swift error detection and resolution, reducing downtime and improving production. Remote monitoring allows centralized control of multiple appliances, and leverages industrial communication protocols for seamless data exchange. PLCs control essential parameters such as bearing rotation, temperature, and belt run duration in laundry machines. It calculates bearing values based on speed and belt rotation based on time, ensuring safety through DC links and automatic alarms for faults. We use supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for parameter monitoring. This system reduces human intervention, operational expenses, and wastage, while maintaining product quality, demonstrating PLC- based automation's potential to modernize textile industries with reliability and sustainability.
