Abstract

The textile industry is one of the oldest industries in the world and also in India.
The Indian textile industry’s current revenue is around US$ 108 billion which is
forecasted to increase up to US$ 223 billion by 2021. The textile industry in India is the
second-largest employer. It gives employment to about 45 million people directly and
almost 60 million people indirectly. Textile consumption is increasing in developed as
well as developing countries. The expected percentage increase in the spent on textiles in
the developing countries is much higher than the developed countries.
India is the second-largest exporter of Textiles and also has the second-largest
Textile Infrastructure setup after China. Textile industry can be divided into two
segments based on their output- Yarn & Fibre and Processed Fabric. It can also be
divided into two other segments based on the sector, first as Handloom & Handicrafts
and the second as Organized Spinning, Weaving & Garmenting. Handloom and the
handicraft industry still runs on the traditional methods with almost no automation, while
the organised sector has started adopting the state of the art machinery and automation.
Traditionally the weaving and spinning started at home and then became a cottage
industry which after the industrial revolution started growing as an organised sector with
the inclusion of machines and automation. Since then various advancement has taken
place in the ginning, spinning, weaving, garments and knitting processes to reduce the
cost and improve quality. Automation has helped the industry to gain productivity and
efficiency.
The Indian small scale textile production has had a major impact on the world
economy through the millenniums. At present fabric, the inspection depends on human
sight, the result of the inspection is influenced by the physical and mental condition of the
inspector. Now, all the textile industries aim to produce good quality fabrics with a high
production rate. In the textile sector, there are huge losses due to faulty fabrics. The faults
found in the fabrics are around 80 - 85% of the defects in the garment industry. These
faults are obtained in the fabrics due to irregular stretching and shrinking of the cloth.
The manual inspection of fabric material is not economical and work is very dull. Hence,
the investment in automated fabric defect detection is economical when a reduction in
labour cost and other benefits are considered.

In recent years, PLC-based control technologies have become widely used in
industry practice. Benefits include faster design cycles, lower downtime using diagnostics
and simulation tools, increased productivity and decreased maintenance costs. Moreover,
open system designs that use standard hardware and operating system software minimize
cost, permit system scalability, and ensure future performance enhancement
Advantages:
Some of the key benefits achieved through automation are:
 Improved production at a cheaper cost
 Better quality
 Safety for the humans and machines
 Predictable production and inventory
 Energy savings
 Lower impact on the environment
 Better machine uptimes
 Self-diagnostics and predictive maintenance
 Efficient packaging and transport
 Improved customer satisfaction
