The textile industry is one of
the major and largest manufacturing industries in Pakistan. Pakistan is the 8th
largest exporter of textile commodities in Asia. This sector contributes 8.5%
to the GDP [1]. In addition, the sector employs about 45% of the total labor
force in the country, which includes the 38% of the manufacturing workers [2].
Moreover, Pakistan is the 4th largest producer of cotton with the third largest
spinning capacity in Asia after China and India and contributes 5% to the
global spinning capacity [3]. At present, there are 1,221 ginning units, 442
spinning units as well as 124 large spinning units and 425 small units which
produce textile [4]. best sewing machine dealers in chennai. Master textile is one of the foremost and leading textile
manufacturers, based in Lahore, Pakistan that is engaged in the export of
quality products such as yarns, garments and fibers. They established a name of
credentials owing to the project commitments, working speed, quality practices
and the overall approach of the company [5].
Most of the textile mills have a
fixed asset base of USD 20.00 million, annual turnover of USD 60.00 million and
2500 employees [5]. These textile mills are facing energy wastage and shortage
problem in their garment section [6]. One of the reason is that sewing machines
are arranged in columns and all station lights continuously are kept ON, even
if just one worker is working and more over they didn’t able to monitor worker
how much they efficiently work. That’s why they want energy efficient control
and monitoring system for their machines [7]. Cost must be considered in that
system [7, 8]. The design proposed in the paper has two major subparts. The
first part involves controlling the station light by knowing the presence of
workers on the machine which shown their working status and performance. The
second part involves sending data towards manager room and then extracting the
data into the excel format. For achieving this target, various different
sensing mechanisms have been tried, but most of them are not working efficiently
and properly, which include Passive infrared (PIR) sensor, R.F. sensor,
ultrasonic sensor etc. [9, 10]. When other conventional sensors were failed to
deliver the results then current sensing mechanism is designed which works on
the sewing machine’s working status through using flux of the machine. On the
other hand, monitoring and sending data towards the manager room is the real
challenge because there were four hundred machines need to synchronize in
addition the data need to send wirelessly. For synchronizing the machine there
is thirty-one masters is made, each master connected to thirty slaves and each
master link to single master, which communicate all the data towards the
manager. Although the data can be transmitted through various ways such as
ZigBee device, wireless super regeneration transmission module, etc., but super
regenerative wireless transmission module is opted for transmission of data.
Solemnly aim of this paper is to present the model design for sewing machine
which ultimately helps in energy saving by turning off the redundant tube
lights. As per our subject industry, master textile, there are four hundred
sewing machines present there and hundreds of stations control through single
breaker. Controlling the station light can save tremendous amount of energy
because most of the stations used are in idle condition and station lights are
turned ON with no reason.
