Terrot Hosted Their Visitors at ITMA Booth with Partner Smartex
Terrot Hosted Their Visitors at ITMA Booth with Partner Smartex. At ITMA, Terrot displayed one of our blockbuster machines a highly flexible and productive I3P 196 “8-lock“, interlock and fine rib machine with open width frame that has been much demanded above all in Turkey in the past years.
The I3P 196 creates “8-lock“, interlock and modified structures like punto di Roma, Milano rib, piqué rodier and also racer mesh with maximum efficiency. Equipped with up to 4 needle tracks in cylinder cam and 2 needle tracks in dial cam the I3P 196 promises maximum flexibility and a wide range of pattern options.
New developments in the single and double jersey sector, consisting of highly efficient premium machines with outstanding performance, maintenance and operating cost KPIs as well as general improvements to their existing equipment have been realized during the last months.
This year we will be teaming up in our booth with our partner Smartex Europe, who provide among others a state-of-the-art AI driven error detection system that premieres in the double jersey space. The Smartex CORE system build-in on the exhibition machine gives the customer the power of latest hardware and software technology to control their fabric production, inspecting every inch of fabric using artificial intelligence algorithms, which are constantly being upgraded. Smartex’s patented hardware set is comprised of an AI-powered graphic processing server, high resolution cameras with machine learning capabilities, and enhanced lighting for optimal greige fabric inspection controlled by an intuitive industrial-grade touchscreen interface. Smartex’s software provides the customer with 24/7 access to real-time production information including automated roll maps, business intelligence data, and performance analysis from anywhere, using their preferred device (computer, tablet, smartphone).
Digitalization
- Connection to MES and ERP systems via standardized interfaces (OPCUA)
- Usage of AI equipment such as Smartex system
- Thus complete digital mapping of the machine and fabric quality, as well as control
of the machine via ERP, MES system
- Reduction of downtimes and prevention of
faulty knitted fabrics
Development of Machines
- Development of flexible machine with a wide variety of upgrade kits (mesh, spacer)
- Reduction of operating costs by using the same needles in dial and cylinder
- Long lifetime of Terrot machines due to excellent service life and continuous development also on existing machines
Energy Efficiency
- Use of state-of-the-art motors to reduce carbon footprint
- High-system and efficient knitting machines for state-of-the-art productivity
and reduced energy use.
