Sliver Information system

KITMasterKITMaster

Sliver Information System KIT

• Real time production and quality monitoring– sliver count– sliver evenness– spectrogram analysis– CV and CVL curves– production (kilos or pounds)– efficiency analysis– down time analysis

• Long term analysis (shift, day, month, lot)

• Easy to use

The Benefits

• Continuous quality monitoring

• Automatic documentation for quality assurance • Cost reduction in personnel and lab equipment

• No loss of raw materials required for sampling

• Real time trouble shooting

• Cards: DK740 - DK760 - DK780 - DK803 - DK903• Draw frames: HS900 - HS1000

• NEW: handling of cards with IDF

KIT machine connections

• Windows2000 server• Users access KIT through any PC connected to the

PC network.• Link to host system through Ethernet and data

import and export tools.

• NEW: more than 50 machines per KIT system are now possible!

• New: connection of combers, flyers and spinning machines is now possible!

KIT: System Configuration

• Oracle relational data base.

• Users can define reports and graphical formats through a powerful report generator.

• Graphical user interface, with many user definable preferences, mouse driven from the carding/draw frame department floor lay-out.

• Symbols and type of reports identical to previous KIT system facilitates the user training.

Wire management

• The wire management module in the KITMaster system is the perfect tool to monitor status and maintenance intervals of all wirings used in the cards.

 

• Based on pre-defined maintenance intervals and the card sliver output as monitored by KIT, the wire management software calculates maintenance schedules for each individual card element. At a glance, the user gets a complete overview of the wiring condition of all machines connected. For each card element, next actions and time to next action is listed and all overdue maintenance actions are highlighted in red. A mouse click on a single card item

displays the complete maintenance history of this item.
