Automation in Textile Industry
and a Review of
India ITME 2022!
Automation has become an increasingly important topic in
the textile industry in recent years, as manufacturers look
for ways to streamline their operations and increase
efficiency. The use of advanced technology, such as
robotics and artificial intelligence, has allowed companies
to automate various tasks, from material handling to
quality control.
One key event that highlights the importance of
automation in the textile industry is the India
International Textile Machinery Exhibition (ITME), which is
held every four years. The 2022 edition was special
because it was happening after six years due to COVID-19.
The use of automation in the textile industry has numerous
benefits. For one, it can help to improve the accuracy and
consistency of various processes, such as dyeing, printing,
and finishing. This can lead to higher quality products and
reduced waste, which is good for both the environment
and the bottom line.
In addition, automation can help to reduce the need for
manual labour, which can be physically demanding and
potentially hazardous. It can also help to improve working
conditions, as employees are able to work with less strain
and stress.
However, it is important to note that automation also brings
challenges, such as the potential for job displacement. It is
important for companies to consider the impact on their
workforce and to ensure that employees are trained in the
skills needed for the jobs of the future.
The use of automation in the textile industry has the
potential to bring significant benefits, both for
manufacturers and for the environment. As the industry
continues to evolve, it will be important for companies to
carefully consider the role of automation and how it can be
used to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

AUTOMATION In Textile Industry:
A Comprehensive Overview
Automation in textile machinery has been a topic of
significant interest in India in recent years, as textile
manufacturers seek to increase efficiency and reduce
costs in a highly competitive industry. Automation in
the textile industry refers to the use of technology and
machines to perform tasks that were previously done
by humans. This includes everything from spinning
and weaving to finishing and packaging. Automation
has brought about many changes to the textile
industry, and there are both advantages and
disadvantages to consider.
One of the primary benefits of automation in the
textile industry is increased efficiency. Automated
systems are able to operate at a much faster pace
than manual labour, which allows manufacturers to
increase their production capacity and reduce the
time required to complete tasks. This can lead to
significant cost savings, as manufacturers can produce
more goods in less time, while also reducing the need
for labour.
In addition to increased efficiency, automation can
also improve the quality of textile products.
Automated systems are able to operate with greater
precision and consistency than manual labour, which
can help to reduce defects and improve the overall
quality of the finished product. This can be
particularly beneficial in the textile industry, where
even minor defects can have a significant impact on
the quality of the final product.
Another benefit of automation in the textile industry
is improved safety. Automated systems can reduce the
risk of injury to workers, as they are not required to
perform tasks that may be physically demanding or
hazardous. This can help to improve working
conditions and create a safer environment for
employees.
There are several key technologies that are driving the
adoption of automation in the textile industry in
India. One of the most significant is robotic
automation, which allows manufacturers to automate
a wide range of tasks, including material handling,
cutting, and sewing. Robotic automation can be
particularly useful in the textile industry, as it allows
manufacturers to handle large volumes of material
and complete tasks with high levels of precision and
consistency.
Another important technology in the automation of
the textile industry is machine learning, which allows
machines to learn and adapt to new tasks and
environments over time. This can help to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of automated systems, as
they are able to learn from their mistakes and
continually improve their performance.
In addition to these technologies, there are also a
number of other tools and systems that are being
used to automate the textile industry in India. These
include computer-aided design (CAD) systems, which
allow manufacturers to design and test new products
using computer simulations, and advanced sensors
and monitoring systems, which can help to improve
the efficiency and accuracy of automated systems.
Overall, automation in the textile industry in India is
providing a range of benefits to manufacturers,
including increased efficiency, improved quality, and
enhanced safety. With the continued development
and adoption of new technologies, it is likely that
automation will play an even larger role in the textile
industry in the future.

However, there are also some disadvantages to
automation in the textile industry. One of the main
concerns is the potential for job loss. As machines take
over certain tasks, there may be a need for fewer
human workers. This can lead to unemployment and a
decline in the number of jobs available in the industry.
In addition, some workers may be concerned about
the potential for machines to eventually replace them
entirely.
Another disadvantage of automation in the textile
industry is the cost. While automation can lead to cost
savings in the long run, the initial investment in
technology and machinery can be expensive. This can
be a barrier for smaller companies or those with
limited financial resources. In addition, there may be
ongoing costs associated with maintaining and
repairing the machinery, as well as training workers to
use it.
Automation in the textile industry can also have
negative environmental impacts. While some
automation technologies can be more energy-
efficient than their human counterparts, the
production and disposal of machines can contribute
to pollution and waste. In addition, automation may
lead to a greater reliance on fossil fuels, as machines
often require electricity to operate.
Automation has brought about significant innovation
in the textile industry, impacting every aspect of
production from spinning and weaving to processing
and garmenting. This has allowed manufacturers to
increase efficiency, improve quality, and enhance
safety in the industry. However, the fast fashion world
has created a paradox for the textile industry as
consumers demand both fast and high - quality
products.
In order to meet these demands, automation
has become increasingly important in the textile
industry. Automated systems are able to operate at
a faster pace, with greater precision and consistency,
which can help to produce high - quality products
quickly. However, this also requires a shift towards a
more tech-savvy workforce, as workers need to be
able to handle and operate these automated
machines.
While automation can help to meet the demands of
fast fashion consumers, it is important for companies
to also consider the needs of those who prioritize
quality over speed. This can be achieved through the
use of advanced technologies such as machine
learning, which allows machines to adapt and improve
their performance over time, and through the
implementation of strict quality control measures.
In conclusion, automation in the textile industry has
both advantages and disadvantages. On the one
hand, it can increase efficiency and productivity,
improve safety, and lead to improved working
conditions for employees. On the other hand, it can
lead to job loss, be expensive to implement, and have
negative environmental impacts. Companies and
policymakers must carefully consider the potential
trade-offs of automation in order to make informed
decisions about its use in the textile industry.

Like India ITME, will ITMA Milan also view any of
your new innovations?
Yeah, it’ll be there, we will be demonstrating the
further updates on the present machine as well as
future machines, we have exhibited all new spinning
technology called Helix spinning in Barcelona, so we
will have the updates on that as well in Milan.
How do you compare your Japanese technology with
European technology?
Yeah see, Japanese technology always gives reliable
machines with stable performance, committed
delivery. So, what happens when a customer chooses
our product, they get consistent performance for the
long term. They achieve the highest productivity level
on our machines. They also achieve the best quality
with low maintenance. The machine is simple and also
user-friendly.
So once the customer experiences our machine, they
come back for the repeat orders. So, we have been
successfully selling this machine from 2014 onwards.
I can say we are now in the desirable position w.r.t
spinning machines.
What are your observations of the industry?
Now the industry is passing through challenging phase
due to change in economic situation globally, owing to
many factors such as Russia, Ukraine war, Covid,
Scarcity of power, High inflation are few to mention
but we are hopeful that turnaround will be around the
corner due to many policies.
Like PLI scheme, Mitra scheme and all are coming for
the future., Government is supporting with all these
schemes and India will surely consolidate its position
even in Non cotton exports in coming days.

NIRVANA with LDPE & HDPE packing at one go with
Italian Software. It was an absolute honour to host
industry leaders like Mr. Manmohan Singh, Mr.
Updeep Singh, Mr. Alaaggapan R, and Mr. Gurudas
Aras for the demonstration.
Can you brief more about B-Tex Auto-Cut-Pack?
There’s no denial of the fact that manpower crisis and
space crunch poses a severe challenge to the textile
industry, automation is the need of the hour in each
and every process that obviously helps organizations
to have optimal manpower, increase production and
have quality MIS reports. Nirvana helps you to achieve
all of these with Italian Know-how and Software.
In B-Tex Auto-Cut-Pack System, we Inspect the
fabric and log all the defect in IGS (Inspection &
Grading Software) through Batch to Batch or Trolley
to Trolley Mapping Machine and later on optimize as
per the severity to generate beneficial Cut-Pan.
Finally the data is transferred to B-Tex Auto-Cut-Pack
machine model NIRVANA, where it rolls the fabric at
high speed of 80 m/m and pack it with LDPE and HDPE
film with lots of other benefits.
What are the benefits of Auto-Cut-Pack?
Nirvana is a boon to Inspection and Packing
department . Due to optimised cut plan, 2-3% A-Grade
fabric is saved and mind it, its lots of business and
profit for quality and quantity fabric manufactures.
Along with this, it reduces manpower up to 60% as
their is bare minimum handling of fabric due to
automatic packing with sorting and all the extra
manpower is eliminated. All defect entries through
touch screen in Italian software delivers lots of reports
like shift-wise, sort-wise, operator-wise, production
and department-wise to improve quality. 40% space
is also saved as Auto-Cut-Pack singlehanded delivers
80,000 mtr/day with LDPE and HDPE packing with
single operator. There are lots of other benefits like
Auto-Samples, Folders, Barcode, Automatic labelling,
etc.
We have successfully delivered this system with
software to some high quality fabric manufacturers in

Yamuna Machine Works Ltd’s First Indian
Made Multilayer Stenter: Know The Features
Yamuna Machine Works Ltd launched three new
machines in the India ITME 2022.
Prashant Mangukia, Director of the company shared
his thoughts with the Textile Value Chain during the
launch, “We are here at Yamuna Machine Booth in Hall
three. We have had three new product launches this
time. First of all was the Open Width Knit Compactor.
Second was Open Width Knit Singeing Machine and
the novel product of multilayer stenter. The multilayer
stenter technology is from ALEA of Italy, and the
compactor is first time Made in India. We have got
very good response here to the show and we feel that
this Made in India products will be a game changer for
the textile industry.”
Yamuna introduced three new machines namely, Open
Width Knit Compactor, Open Width Knit Singeing
Machine and ALEA-YAMUNA Multilayer Stenter.
The feature packed machines were launched by the
hands of leading textile industrialists. The Open Width
Knit Compactor was launched by The Oster Group
Director SHRI G. B. SINGH.
The Open Width Knit Singeing Machine was
launched by The Welspun Group Director SHRI
RAJESH MANDAWEWALA.

The ALEA - YAMUNA Multilayer Stenter was launched
by Bombay Rayon (BRFL) Managing Director SHRI
PRASHANT AGARWAL.
THE ALEA - YAMUNA Multilayer Stenter :
The new ALEA-YAMUNA Multilayer Stenter, developed
with the collaboration between ALEA and YAMUNA
in India. The YAMUNA-ALEA Multi-Layer Stenter is a
textile finishing machine that is designed to improve
the quality and fineness of fabric. It is a 10-chamber
machine that operates in a 3-chamber space, which
means it can handle a larger volume of fabric in a
smaller space. This can be beneficial for textile
manufacturers who need to increase their production
capacity but have limited space available.
One of the main benefits of the YAMUNA-ALEA
Multi-Layer Stenter is its ability to improve the
finishing quality and fineness of fabric. This is achieved
through the use of multiple chambers and a variety of
finishing techniques, such as heat setting,
shrinking, and drying. The machine is also energy-
efficient, which can help reduce operating costs and
improve the overall sustainability of the textile
production process.
In addition to these benefits, the YAMUNA-ALEA
Multi-Layer Stenter can also increase productivity by
allowing manufacturers to process more fabric in a
shorter amount of time. This can be especially useful
for businesses that need to meet tight deadlines or
have high demand for their products. ALEA-YAMUNA
is first Indian made multilayer stenter.
YAMUNA has a strong market position in India as well as
in the global markets such as the U.S.A, Europe, Brazil,
Portugal, Argentina and many other countries. YAMUNA
has been winning export awards consecutively for
the last three years.

Inspecting fabrics after weaving is old school. With USTER®
Q-BAR 2, smart weavers can pinpoint
defects during fabric formation. It’s the right way to reduce material losses and minimize manual
checks. When it comes to fabric quality issues, prevention is better than cure.
The whole fabric is automatically monitored – warp, weft, selvage and leno – and faults are
identified immediately. LEDs signal defect locations to the weaver, with information shown on
the control unit touchscreen. It’s automatic inspection, in-process and instant, so weavers can
react to prevent long-running or repeating faults.
USTER®
Q-BAR 2 sets the future standard, controlling the weaving process instead of the output.

Trützschler Card Clothing Expands Its
Site In Neubulach
Green growth : The technology leader for card
clothing is creating additional jobs / Company
focuses on climate neutrality for site expansion
Trützschler Card Clothing (TCC), technology leader in
the manufacture of high - performance card
clothings for textile yarn processing, is expanding its
site in Neubulach, Germany. With the twelve -
million - euro investment, the supplier for the
international textile machinery industry is expanding
its production, warehouse and office capacities. A
groundbreaking ceremony will take place during the
coming winter.
The move into the new building is planned for 2024.
TCC will also expand the range of services and
the production intensity at the site, while optimizing
the process flows. Trützschler intends to recruit the
additional employees required within a short
timeframe by hiring new staff and offering
apprenticeships at the Neubulach site. TCC employs
more than 130 people in Germany, with a further 220
people employed worldwide at locations in Brazil,
China, India, Mexico, Turkey and the USA.
Strengthening the site
“By expanding our business here in Neubulach, we
are strengthening our presence in this area and our
leading global market position too,” says Managing
Director Peter Gäbler. The Trützschler Group SE is also
investing in India to build a new site with over 100,000
square meters for the Spinning, Card Clothing and
Nonwovens business units. “It is important to be close
to the customer worldwide because our foreign
companies make a significant contribution to the
success of the Group,” says Gäbler.
TCC achieved another record sales result in 2021.
Demand for the technology components for carding
fibers in spinning mills and for carding in nonwovens
production has increased significantly. The steel
sawtooth wires, which are wound onto coils and
produced for customers around the globe, eventually
get worn down by use in production processes – so it
is necessary to replace them regularly. For this reason,
further growth is expected in 2022 and beyond.
The new building will expand the warehouse and
logistics area by 600 square meters, to make a total
area of 2,800 square meters. In the optimized cube of
the new hall, a modern warehouse system will double
the storage capacity. There will also be a fully
automated warehouse for coils for sawtooth wires.
During the construction phase, logistics and shipping
will be temporarily outsourced to Pforzheim-
Büchenbronn.
Good integration into the region
Overall, the production area will be expanded from 4,000
to 5,400 square meters. This will enable the process flows
to be optimized. The office space will be increased to 1,000
square meters. An additional level of the building will
provide modern workplaces for administration and sales.
The new building will also improve access and exit routes
for truck traffic. This will provide considerable relief for the
local neighborhood in terms of noise emissions and other
factors. Good integration into the region is very important
to Trützschler. All contracts for planning, construction
and air conditioning technology have been awarded to
local companies.
In the future, TCC will operate its production facility in
Neubulach in a climate-neutral manner. This will contribute
important progress toward achieving the ambitious climate
goals of the Trützschler Group. The new production facility
will meet the highest requirements for energy efficiency
and climate protection. Heating is provided by process
heat recovery and geothermal energy. In addition, the
company produces green electricity via its own solar
panels.

perhaps not everyone is aware of. With TrusTrace, we
get the tools to efficiently manage sustainability data
for the approximately 40 million garments that are
sold every year. Sustainability data can be presented
for an overall picture of the garment’s values, which
can then be communicated to customers in a simple
and accessible way,” said Sandra Roos, VP
Sustainability at Kappahl.
TrusTrace is a leader in fashion supply chain
traceability, providing 40+ global fashion and retail
brands with verified data in real-time, as materials

customers, where different ecosystems can meet and
share ideas to create disruptive concepts and
solutions.
Circular economy: Making circular economy real, in
the textile industry, is Marzoli’s vision. Mission: the
development of circular technologies and processes
to carefully balance economic and environmental
sustainability. Marzoli India circularity program is
aimed at promoting a supply chain alliance able to
realize full industrial projects for the regeneration of
valuable fibers from post - industrial and post-
consumer fabrics.
“Differentiate ourselves to differentiate your
business.” This is Marzoli’s mission and its everyday
commitment.
Marzoli has spent the last ten years concentrating its
efforts on research and innovation in order to develop
an exclusive textile engineering concept that consists
of four distinct, interconnected, and complementary
technological areas:
- Spinning technology
- Digital textile
- Nonwoven solutions
- Circular technologies
The phrase “Textile Engineering” – incorporated in
the Marzoli’s logo – perfectly expresses this ability to
innovate and work in close contact with customers,
supporting them to create value, providing the know-
how able to support the customer throughout all
phases of the process: from feasibility and preliminary
studies to plant construction, line start-up,
optimisation, management and subsequent
commissioning. Added to this : staff training and
organisation of maintenance activities; turnkey
solutions and support in financing activities; business
plan development; automation level analysis and
project management.
This approach makes Marzoli the global partner for
the textile industry of the future.
SPINNING TECHNOLOGY
Marzoli is one of the leading manufacturers of
complete lines for opening, preparation and spinning
of natural, synthetic and technical fibers.
At ITME, Marzoli displayed the roving frame
technology FT-D, which is pushing the limits of the
performance : wide flexibility, high productivity,
quality, space savings, power savings, full integration
into any kind of spinning sections. High degree of
automation and digital integration.
CMX: the new state-of-the-art combing technology
which, with 10 combing heads, guarantees a level
of productivity 25% higher than the previous model,
along with energy savings equal to 20% kWh/kg.
C701: The innovative and advanced card designed to
be flexible for all types of fibers. With a carding area of
3.74 sqm this card grants a superior trade-off between
quality and productivity.

JANUARY 2023
Integrated Spinning Technology: The concept of a full
mechanical and logical integration of every machine
of the spinning unit. These solutions disclose all their
potential in terms of superior flexibility and efficiency,
supported, for the first time in textile industry, by the
technological paradigms of M2M and M2H.
DIGITAL TEXTILE
Another strength is its expertise in developing the
most advanced digital technologies: at ITME, Marzoli
will present 5 solutions for a fully digitalized spinning
mill.
Marzoli (Marzoli Remote Maintenance): The world’s
first AI based platform able to analyse Big Data
generated by machinery processes and also to
continuously monitor mission critical operations. This
ensures a reduction of machine downtime, a longer
useful life of parts, and more timely and effective
maintenance.
Alongside this, integrated management can be
enabled by YarNet, highly innovative software,
through which users can easily manage the entire
spinning process directly from their PC. With it, every
machine in a plant can be monitored with ease – a
real value-added technology for customers aiming to
maximise productivity and profitability.
Brain Box: The patented Marzoli software with an
integrated APP, based on AI technologies, which
significantly improves plant performance. Tests
confirm that Brain Box can generate a 5.5% increase
in productivity, an 8% increase in efficiency, and 1.5%
in energy savings.
TAOMAPP: The innovative approach to cotton
analysis in which the trash level inside the cotton is
accurately determined through photographs taken by
a smartphone. It is based on ultra-high resolution
image recognition techniques and quantifies the
results on the Marzoli Trash Index. You just need to
download the app, start the analysis and get the
benefits.
Trash Analyzer: the tool that analyses cotton trash
content to optimise machinery set-up. It can be
applied wherever there is a flow of material in a
pipeline. During ITME it will be possible to see
first-hand this advanced technology.
These 5 solutions, constantly monitoring machines
and process performance, allows to make intelligent
and informed decisions, based on constantly updated
information. Each of these decisions is a further step
to increase the flexibility and customization and to
reach the highest level of efficiency and productivity
to become more valuable on the market.
NONWOVEN
With its deep experience and technological
knowledge in fibre preparation and through an
established network of partnerships, Marzoli is
uniquely qualified in the implementation of nonwoven
plants for the following range of applications: wipes,
medical-surgical, disposable and filtration products.
CIRCULAR TECHNOLOGY
Since 2012, Marzoli has focused on continuous
innovation in the mechanical regeneration of textile
fibres. Its know-how focuses on the transformation
of post industrial and post consumer textile waste,
creating high-value recycled fiber to be process with
ring spinning tecnology.
“For Marzoli, developing and adopting green
technologies means carefully balancing business
needs with environmental sustainability. Circularity
through fabrics regeneration is creating a synergetic
value chain that benefits all stakeholders” explains
Cristian Locatelli, Marzoli General Manager.
