Descrição

Production monitoring is an important task for proper production planning. For this task the information that a system of this nature can possibly gather assumes significant importance. Among all the information available during production, the detection of faults assumes a crucial role since it directly affects the quality and productivity. This paper presents a system which was developed with the purpose of performing the analysis in real time of the knitting process, supplying the parameters of major concern for production and furthermore, allowing the detection, identification and location of faults.
