Monitoring Raw Material Use with Visualization Software
FEFC conducts regular reviews on the use of raw materials and strives to improve the production process and technology. Raw material efficiency is improved by recycling and reusing the unspun yarns and packaging materials as well as thoroughly cleaning the spinneret. The plant also incorporates Industry 4.0, using real-time information and the warehouse management system to improve production management. In 2022, FEFC utilized the visualization software, TIBCO, to manage yarn recycling and classification. The smart data analysis tool provides clear data visualization on the usage of unspun yarns and ensures accurate classification. The tool also rapidly cross-checks year-to-year and month-to-month changes. Monthly KPI for yarn recycling is examined and reviewed to improve operational efficiency and reduce raw material waste.
