Indo Texnology’s Auto Cone Packing: A Game-Changer for Birin Spinning Mills

The textile industry constantly evolves with innovations that enhance efficiency and quality. Indo Texnology’s Auto Cone Packing system is one such breakthrough, revolutionizing the packing process by making it more reliable, secure, and efficient for spinning mills.

A team from The Textile Magazine visited Birin Spinning Mills, located in Avinashi near Tirupur, to explore how this automatic cone packing system is elevating productivity, improving yarn quality, and optimizing operations.

Solving Packing Challenges in Spinning Mills

Packing has long been a critical yet challenging aspect of spinning mills. Manual packing often results in weight inconsistencies, yarn mix-ups, and inefficiencies due to labor dependency.

“Not anymore,” says R. Muthu Venkatesh, Technical Director of Birin Spinning Mills. "Earlier, manual packing caused weight accuracy issues and relied heavily on manpower, leading to errors. Thanks to Indo Texnology’s Auto Cone Packing system, these problems are now history."

Birin Spinning Mills’ Journey to Textile Automation

Founded in 2003, Birin Spinning Mills has always prioritized automation to stay ahead in the industry. Since 2018, the mill has implemented advanced systems, including autodoffer ring frames, bobbin transport systems, spindle monitoring systems, and roving stop motion. The introduction of automatic cone packing was the next logical step in their automation journey.

Key Advantages of Indo Texnology’s Auto Cone Packing System

1. Superior Weight Accuracy

• The system ensures precise weight measurements, eliminating excess or deficit packing, leading to cost savings and increased profitability.

2. Defect-Free Yarn and No Yarn Mix-Ups

• The AI-based cone inspection system detects defective cones and prevents yarn mix-ups, ensuring only the best yarn quality reaches customers.

3. Increased Efficiency and Manpower Saving

• The automation reduces labor dependency. Previously, five workers per shift were required; now, only three are needed, leading to significant manpower savings.

4. Ease of Operation

• The system eliminates the need for highly skilled workers. Even semi-skilled operators can manage the process, as the system automates weight control and accuracy.

5. Enhanced Package Appearance

• Unlike manual packing, which often looks inconsistent, automatic cone packing ensures a professional, aesthetic presentation, making a strong impression in the market.

Reliability and Return on Investment (ROI)

Muthu Venkatesh emphasizes the reliability of the system. "The system self-adjusts when checking cone tips, ensuring smooth operation."

Cost Savings and ROI

• Labor cost reductions contribute to ROI, but the biggest savings come from weight accuracy. Even a 20-gram excess per package can result in Rs. 20,000/- in monthly losses, a cost Indo Texnology’s system eliminates.
• "More importantly, our customers are satisfied. We now receive zero complaints about mix-ups, defect-free cones, and weight accuracy. This investment has brought peace of mind, even during peak seasons."

24x7 Aftersales Support

One of the standout features of Indo Texnology’s textile automation solutions is their exceptional aftersales support.

"Their service team is available 24x7, offering remote troubleshooting and system monitoring. With remote diagnostics, minor issues are resolved without an engineer visit, ensuring minimal downtime." – Muthu Venkatesh.

Future Collaboration: Cone Transport System Integration

Encouraged by the success of the Auto Cone Packing system, Birin Spinning Mills is set to further enhance automation by integrating Indo Texnology’s Automatic Cone Transport System.

"We plan to continue working with Indo Texnology to push the boundaries of textile automation. The next step is implementing their Cone Transport System to streamline operations further."
