  • Publication number: 20220004151
    Abstract: A textile mill system and associated method include a plurality of spinning mills each having textile machines. A computer system determines adapted machine parameters for the textile machines and processes within the spinning mills. The computer system includes a receiving and transmitting section configured to receive operational information from the spinning mills and the textile machines, and a first database configured to store the received operational information. A processing section includes an optimizer section with a neural network, wherein the neural network uses the operational information stored in the first database with processes for or derived from supervised or unsupervised machine or deep learning to determine the adapted machine parameters.
