Future prospects of rotor spinning

Abstract

Labour productivity has been continuously increasing since the days of spinning jenny to the modern day rotor frames. To visualize the spinning industry in the year 2000, the past and the present technological changes have been analyzed so as to assess their overall impact in terms of labour complement, material handling, required operative skill and automation. The automation in textile industry has already begun with the introduction of micro-electronics, computer systems, special textile manipulators, automatic guided vehicles and integration of automated machines into the production line by computer control. Computer Integrated Textile Enterprise (CITE) system has been considered for the mill of the future.
