Device for measurement of textile for powerloom Industry

Abstract

In Bhiwandi there are thousands of power looms that work with old and outdate technology. Measurement of manufactured textile happens manually by hand which can leave gaps for inaccuracy, waste of time and resources. In an industry that is financially weak, the scope for innovation or upgradation to modern technology is less. This project makes one aspect of the power loom industry a little bit better by offering them a measurement device that can simply measure their textile output for a day when it is getting inspected. We have visited the industries in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra for surveys and on-site learning about the technical difficulties faced by the industries and discussed about the small improvements that can be made in the factories with owners, workers and our professors. An idea was formed and after some brainstorming the concept of this project was clear to us. We aimed to make it easy for the owners and the workers to find out their textile output for the day so that it can be documented easily and payments to labour workers will be done in right amounts. The project is simple, cost effective and the device can be installed anywhere in the factories easily.
