Other applications

Weaving:

 on-loom inspection, fabric inspection, yarn inventory.

Spinning:

 monitoring and on-line quality control.

Dyeing and finishing:

 planning, lot tracking, monitoring, fabric inspection, optimized cutting. 

Networking the machines

WeaveMaster supports both cabled and wireless networks to 
connect machines to the central server. Machines are equipped 
with one of Barco’s data units for automatic as well as manual 
data  collection  or  linked  directly  to  the  server  through  their 
Ethernet interface.

ERP system integration

WeaveMaster  is  easily  integrated  with  the  customer’s  ERP 
system. Through a standard interface, order and style data is 
transferred from the ERP system and imported in the Weave-
Master database. 

The  integrated  export  functionality  allows  a  straightforward 
upload  of  production  data,  calculated  production  schedules, 
work-in-progress and performance indicators from WeaveMaster 
to the ERP system.
WeaveMaster uses standard TCP/IP protocols for integration with 
the host computer.

Peripherals

Scoreboards indicating efficiency or quality ratios as well as TV 
monitors  (CIMkiosk)  bringing  comprehensive  messages  and 
information  to  the  operators  form  an  integral  part  of  today’s 
WeaveMaster  system,  improving  communication  within  the 
mill. 

Connecting remote sites

WeaveMaster supports the connection of multiple plants to one 
central server. 
In  the  remote  site,  M-Servers  or  WDL-Servers,  connected  to 
the company’s Intranet or to a leased telephone line, link the 
machines to the central computer system.
