“We will Continue to Invest in the Turkish Market and Offer the Best in Production”
Interview: Özge Çağıl Sütcü
Rafaella Carabelli, General Manager of Fadis, a pioneer company in precision winding 2024 plans: “Turkey is one of the most important markets for Fadis. As always, Fadis will continue to invest and offer the best of its production to Turkish customers. The ITM Exhibition to be held in June will also be very positive for Fadis.”concluded.
As Tekstil Teknoloji magazine, we interviewed Rafaella Carabelli, General Manager of Fadis, for our special file “Italian Machinery Industry” Carabelli talked about the features of the Leo Robot system, which stands out in precision winding, water and energy saving innovations, and the current situation of the sector.
The highlights of the interview are as follows:
Fadis will Participate in ITM 2024 with a Bigger Booth
Turkey is one of the most important markets for Fadis , also due to its strategic position. As always, Fadis will continue to invest and offer Turkish customers the best of its production.
Investments have been slow for difficult domestic monetary situation and slow export market. Still Turkish customers showed up in big numbers at our ITMA 23 Milan booth showing resiliance, confidence and major interest in our new development so we forsee ITM 2024 Exhibition, June to be positive for Fadis.
ITM 2024 is well placed in timing and location to ripe the results of the ITMA 2023 strong Turkish customers appearance to our Milan booth and hopefully of an improving of the general world market situation.
Based on the above Fadis has decided to increase its booth space at ITM 2024 with major expectations coming from Turkey and also from the other EMEA markets .
“We Invest 6/7% in R&D”
Italian textile machinery producers have always been quick in detecting changes in export markets with consequent machines adaptations. Fadis is obviously , very attentive to to the same with consequent quick machines evolutions and adaptations to any new request of changing markets.
Every year we invest 6/7% in R&D to carry out all the developments necessary to always be the first to present new products, developments and innovations. In 2024, further developments will be presented, especially in the automation of its machines.
“Leo Robot Works Autonomously Even During Night Shifts, Increases Efficiency “
ITMA 2023 marked the official debut of Leo Robot, once again Fadis, first in the world, to present a true revolution in the precision winding sector. Thanks to the constant commitment to research and the application of the best technical solutions and in collaboration with the largest manufacturers of Cobots and safety systems, Fadis has developed an innovative automation for loading and unloading packages that allows to automate any winding process and to use different take up tubes by type and size, both cylindrical and flanged. This system makes it possible to increase efficiency and allows the machine to work autonomously even during the night shift, increasing its efficiency and guaranteeing the repeatability of the results.
A further evolution of our well known Aquajet air texturing machine has been presented. Thanks to the “open platform” concept, the machine can be configured with 2 to 4 cold godet or 6 hot godet to produce perfect quality air texturized yarns starting from POY/FDY /FOY/SDY. With Sincro Aquajet it is possible to create any combination of yarns for different end uses such as sportswear, underwear, knitted fabrics, furniture, carpet support, outdoor and upholstery.
Other great innovations have been presented in the field of technical, medical, geo-textile yarns, for upholstery and carpets and the automotive industry, with machines specifically designed to cover a wider range of yarns types and coarser counts. A unique solution has also been presented to unwind from heavy carpet hanks to metered packages with doffer in one step.
Fadis’ priorities in development and research are to offer its customers the best performing innovations in terms of materials, technologies and with increasingly lower environmental impacts.
More and more technical solutions are being sought that can innovate customers’ production cycles with the aim of optimizing production costs and increase flexibility. Sustainability has always been one of Fadis’ priorities. Since 2011 Fadis has been one of the promoter of the “Sustainable Technologies” project in which companies must equip themselves in order to offer solutions that put the reduction of the use of energy, water and chemical products at the heart of the production process. This has lead to a more responsible, careful about consumption and eco-friendly production cycle. With this project the complete range of Fadis’ machines took advantage by reducing the energy consumption thus emitting less CO2 in the air and allowing our customers to save much money on electric energy expenses.
Fadis Produces the Least Power Consuming Winding Machines Available on the Market
With this further technological improvement Fadis’ machines are the least power consuming winding
machines available on the market.
The “Green Label” applied to our machines will allow each customer to check the emission of CO2 per kg of produced material through the Carbon Footprint.
Since 15 years Fadis has installed remote control on its machines. Since 7 years Fadis has developed a communication software (FID) for its winders that allows to interconnect the ERP systems of the customer to the machines, so as to send and receive back data of the production carried out. Since 1 year Fadis has developed an intuitive dashboard that can be installed on Personal PCs, Tablets which collects a series of data, graphs and lists, capable of provide at a glance clear information on the progress or performance of the machines, prepare reports and send instruictions to the machines. Fadis, on june 2022 has obtained the “digital ready” certification promoted by ACIMIT, which aims to standardize management and production data of Italian textile machinery, based on a common language that allows for easier integration of machinery within the manufacturing customer’s production systems.
