The majority of Textile ERP installations have had limited impact on business performance and in-fact just add a new layer of administration. This is because the bases of the implementation is wrong. Most companies simply translate the working practice from paper based to computer with little or no integration of processes. The physical functioning of the organization remains the same, and so limited improvement or benefit is achieved. In-fact the introduction of IT merely adds another layer of administration, which can slow the production process.

The majority of the failures in ERP implementation has been in Textiles as this sector involves to most integration of processes as the production, management, sales, and planning processes are tightly integrated and wholly influenced by each other. Stock is purchased and inventory is managed based on customer demand and requirements. Most companies operate on an on-demand production model, which requires decision makers to have relevant up-to date information in order to manage the performance and maximize the use of available resources.

The key to a successful ERP implementation is the design of the data gathering process. This is the down fall of most ERP systems as the data gathering is both limited, and involves manual data entry. Limited data means limitations on the functionality of the ERP system, and manual data entry mean data lags, and multi entry of the same information. This limited model of data entry impacts on the depth and breath of available data, which compromises the uses ability to make timely and accurate decisions.

The textile industry has a number of unique features that make it different from other manufacturing sectors. Customizing a general ERP solution for textile use is therefore an extremely demanding and difficult task. Often the people doing the customization don't have specific expertise for the textile sector but even those experts that have the necessary expertise will agree that the requirements of a textile ERP are not catered for by existing generic ERP software, and so limit the benefits of the solution they are able to produce.

Opting for a custom built solution is an even bigger challenge as the complexities involved in developing a normal ERP solution are so huge that most such project fail within the first year, and never get to actual implementation stage. The question that should be asked by anyone thinking of implementing their own ERP solution is why do people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to companies like SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft if developing and ERP solution was that easy. It has taken Infox over five years to get to a stage where we can offer an ERP solution to industry.

Infox has developed an IT framework for the Textile industry that facilitates the needs of all clients. We understand that our clients have varying needs, and are at different stages of their IT evolution. Infox has stuck to its core principal and that is to meet the individual needs of clients rather than dictate the path we support our clients on their journey. The Infox EPR solution is modularized and facilitates clients by allowing them to pick the modules they need. We understand that clients have existing investments and working process that are embedded in their organization so we offer our clients technology that taken them to the next stage of their IT journey.

Infox Architecture

The architecture has three layers:

The Data Gathering layer:- This facilitates the gathering of data from the real world processes and consists on embedded devices, dedicated data input terminals, and GUI inputs like PC’s, Tablets, or Mobile.

The Data Processing Layer:- This combines the data inputs with business logic to provide insight into the organizational performance through reporting, alerting, and prompting.

The Data Store Layer:- Holds raw and processed data and supports data flow and availability to connected processes.

The Design of the architecture allows each layer to function independently and can be further split by module. The area of concern for most existing ERP implementation has traditionally been the data gathering layer so with Infox technology clients can now bridge the gaps in their existing ERP. Modules with limited data gathering can be enhanced with the infox data gathering layer.

Getting the real world data into the EPR system has been the biggest challenge and most systems have had limited success in this area. Traditionally data has been entered into systems by data entry personal via data entry terminals. Data entry in this manner works when the data flow is at the same speed as the data entry process. With textiles the data is produced and flows much faster than it is possible for manual entry. Textiles is further complicated by the data flow and connectivity between processes as one process feeds into the next and so data is required to be feed in at the speed of the process flow. Many organizations have discovered that their ERP dream falls sort due to this data flow problem, and never get beyond implementing finance, HR, and sales.

Infox designers realized from the start that they needs an efficient data gathering framework, which facilitates multiple date input points and types. Infox has developed two main data gathering modules:-

Real-time process monitoring

The infox real-time process monitoring can gather production data from any automated machine process, and is best suited for simultaneous multi machine gathering. Infox has based its own machine eyes loom monitoring solution on this framework, which allows automated data gathering directly from the automated processes. This framework was developed using industrial wireless protocol which is able to operate in the harshest environment, and is able to maintain 100% data integrity. The wireless devices are able to gather data directly from the automated process by connecting to the process or machine, and then communicate that data back to the ERP software for analysis and processing.

Multi-Purpose Data Input Terminal

The Infox Multi-Purpose Data Input Terminal has been designed so it can be attached to any data point in the information flow process. Using the terminal data can be gathered at the point of processing so physical flow and the ERP data flow are maintained in synchronization. The input terminal also allows operators to gain access to ERP data thus facilitating data flow between processes. The Infox ERP system uses this technology as the main data gathering tool, by attaching these terminals to data points throughout the textile information flow. Data input terminals are used to gather stock room, warping process, sizing process, inspection process, inventory store, delivery management, and gate control information. The terminal design allows any type of data to be gathered. Features include digital touch screen, RF-ID, input Key pad, Multi Sensor feeds, USB ports, Barcode Reader, and Barcode printer.

Infox have developed a data gathering layer which can be used independently from any ERP implementation. This independent operational feature allows Infox to offer their technology to all ERP systems. Infox understands that many clients have already started their journey to the ERP dream, and also realize that most of these clients are unable to overcome the limitations of their information gathering. Now with the technology Infox has developed clients can move their ERP forward to realize the real ERP dream. Infox data gathering layer can be integrated with all ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and in-house systems.

Plant maintenance is often overlooked during EPR planning but is an area that requires resource management and effective physical interventions. The Maintenance module in the Infox ERP allows management and staff to develop and maintain effective plant maintenance processes. The module helps track maintenance activity and provides tools to ensure maintenance tasks are carried out in a timely end efficient manner.

The organizations management will be able to monitor the effectiveness of their maintenance routines, and will be able to see the impact of their maintenance planning has on the business. By having access and feeding data into the ERP the maintenance processes will have visibility to the whole business flow and visa versa. The planning and production department will have prior knowledge of planned maintenance and will be able to take this into account during their individual planning. The planning department will have access to current production and down time schedules and will be able to synchronize planned and necessary maintenance with other events to minimize impact on business.

This module leverages data gathered primarily for other purposes to validate and schedule maintenance. Vehicle maintenance like regular oil change and tyre changes will be validated against mileage gathered in the tracking date to ensure maximum value is extracted so these regular maintenance tasks occur on correct intervals. Machine maintenance will be validated against actual running time as this data is gathered during production. Parts life expectancy can be validated and poor performing parts can be easily identified. Managers will be able to better justify purchase of maintenance items based on the performance and business need rather than constant trial and error or biases recommendations.

A complete requirements analysis can be conducted with the staff and management to identify all machinery items and maintenance tasks that require monitoring. For any areas where exiting or planned devices are not gathering data a new device will be deployed to gather data specifically for the maintenance process using the Infox Multi-Purpose Data Input Terminal.

Compliance has become the latest buzz word in the textile sector but with the pressure being placed on companies to prove compliance it has become a business need to have systems in place that can be seen to ensure compliance.

The Infox ERP system compliance module includes all compliance related rules and monitoring of relevant certification, and compliance related procedures. The module has been developed with the understanding that compliance is a changing and evolving area. Compliance has a number of areas that it touches on from compliance with international standards like ISO 9001, to textile specific compliance rules such chemicals usage and wastage. Compliance also now includes labor laws and energy consumption.

This module allows compliance rules to be defined and then uses the data already gathered through the physical processes to ensure that the defined rules are being complied with. In addition to ensuring that processes are complying with existing standards and laws the compliance module also include features to track certification and inspection data.

Managers are able to produce detailed compliance reports on the different defined areas, which can be shown to regulators and inspectors to prove adherence to standards and laws. The compliance module also provides all areas and departments with the tool to ensure they do not violate any compliance rules. This will be key for the HR departments compliance responsibilities in connection with labor laws.

In addition to supporting compliance Infox will also work with management to build in features that will facilitate compliance by providing easy complaints handling, employee committee collaboration, work force training and employee management interaction pathways.

Introduction to infox Jinn

This is the era of information technology and everyone has access to information. Lives of human beings are all deviated and they can access the benefits of cutting edge technologies. Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems are used as a second level protection for protecting the perimeter of a sensitive area already guarded by an existing boundary wall. It can generate immediate alert on detection of unwanted intrusion.

Infox jinn wireless intrusion detection system will detect intrusion automatically, through multi-level detection mechanism (IR sensor & motion sensor) and will generate multi-level alert (buzzer, images, segment illumination, SMS) to notify security officers, owners and also illuminate the particular segment where the intrusion happened. This system will enable the authority to quickly handle the emergency through identification of the area of incident quickly, and to take action.

LONG RANGE PASSIVE IR SENSORS

Passive IR sensors are used in object detection due to their specific properties. Passive IR sensor can operate both during the day and night. These sensors operating within visible and infrared radiation they can operate in the conditions of limited visibility (e.g.in a fog or smoke area). Passive sensors are undetectable devices different from active systems. They are safe for service personnel, for eyes and environment.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The collecting optics of passive sensor is decisive for quality of device operation as well as effects quantity and spectral composition of the radiation focused on a detector. The detector integrates optical signal over its surface and converts it into an electrical signal. Electrical systems for signal conversion amplify and filter the signal that is next analyzed by an automated decisive system. Frequency and noise characteristics of electronics system influence on correctness of the final analysis of the signal, the result of which is decision about object detection.

Passive radiation sensors are used for detection of objects crossing the optical barrier. The Long wavelength detection band is chosen to significantly lower intensity of reflected solar radiation, and is ability to operate in rugged environments. The application of optical filters, and cutting the radiation of the wavelength shorter than 8 micro-meters significantly decreases the level of false alarms.

Detection

The perimeter of the boundary is segmented into multiple straight-line segments of length <=250 meters. The following Figure illustrates ten-segment intrusion detection system. Then, each segment is protected against intrusion using a pair of Wireless Intrusion Detection units. There is no limit to the number of segments that can be used to protect a long boundary wall.

With a ten-segment intrusion detection system as shown in Figure this will include ten Wireless Intrusion Detection units, wireless routers for data communication to a remote computer (central security office) and software at the central security office for visualization, report generation and data analysis
