A strategic solution for the textile dyeing and finishing industry

SedoMaster is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed to manage the dyehouse or entire textile finishing plant. It provides everyone - from the operator to the CEO - with an integrated solution, allowing them to manage recipes, processes and reports.The system supports all required interfaces to other systems such as chemical dispensing, recipe management and ERP. This results in an increased efficiency of the processes as well as in the optimization of all machinery and thus in cost minimization. The system is a modular package that can be implemented in stages as and when required.

• Supports new Sedomat 6000/8000 Series as well as other Sedomat controllers
• Provides IIoT-enabled production for the Smart Factory
• Production control leads to increased productivity and quality improvement
• Real time interactive planboard, powerful reporting and dashboard 
• Single, integrated view of production data for improved decision-making 
• Less CO2 emissions trough optimized processes 

Ready for Industry 4.0

The production of a Smart Factory should be intelligent, efficient and connected. A modern MES is needed as the foundation to bring the vision to life and realize the full benefits.

SedoMaster has all the advanced functionalities and capabilities to create a connected production environment in a dyehouse or textile finishing plant.

With interfaces to machines and other required systems, the ERP system and the Production Planning System (PPS), SedoMaster is a central tool for the entire workshop to get real-time insights for better production and business performance. It helps to better understand operations and to get more out of workforce, equipment and materials.

Energy monitoring: reduce carbon footprint – save costs

Today, in textile dyeing and finishing, beside material and labor costs, energy costs are normally the third important cost factor. For controlling and post production analysis it is difficult to calculate the exact energy cost for a production step or an article. A sudden increase in energy consumption of a production run can push an order easily into the red.

With ever rising energy prices and increasing environmental legislation, efficient energy management has become a very critical success factor to run a profitable business in today’s global economy. To monitor, control and cut costs, EnergyMaster is the perfect tool.

Following the principle of Monitoring and Targeting (M&T), it maps the different energy consumptions (electricity, gas, compressed air, water, steam, effluent, CO2 emission) for further analysis and optimization. The integration of these energy parameters with the production data of SedoMaster provides a perfect insight into the relationship between energy consumption and production.

By minitoring the energy consumption you get answers on important questions, like:

• Which machine or department are the largest energy users?
• What is causing our peak consumption?
• What about the power factor (cos phi) of our company?
• What about the energy consumption fluctuation of a machine or department over time?

The EnergyMaster system comes with a set of predefined reports, such as:

• Counter reports
• Consumer reports
• History reports
• Performance Characteristic Line (PCL)
• Cumulative Sum of deviations (CUSUM)

EnergyMaster adds monitoring of the really important factor “Energy” to Sedo Treepoint MES systems.By using the existing data collections, the investment costs for implementation can be kept at a minimum, while the monthly energy savings with EnergyMaster can be significant. EnergyMaster is the ideal software for analyzing energy consumption and provides decision support for energy saving actions. By defining an energy efficiency plan with clear goals, significant energy savings can be realized quickly. EnergyMaster is the right tool, to meet government regulations for carbon reduction, environmental legislation and lust bot not least, it will help to protect our environment in a sustainable way.

Designed for the Smart Factory

The Sedomat 6000 / 8000 Series is specially designed to meet the latest requirements of Industry 4.0 and more. It is developed to match future standards through its high flexibility. The controllers contain all the benefits of the well proven Sedomat controllers combined with internal WiFi, RFID, flexible field bus and a high number of modular internal and external in- and outputs. Energy counters can directly be connected via the high number of standardised connections. It already includes a PLC which can be adapted with programming tools and can be optionally equipped with internal and external I/O boards to meet the different requirements of yarn, fabric and other types of dyeing machines.

Top-level, high quality products

Solutions for dyeing and finishing automation need expert systems. The Sedomat 8000 Series brings together the knowledge of more than 40 years of machine automation in dyeing and finishing. It is tested for rough production environments and build according to the highest quality standards. The powerful hardware offers an impressive user experience.

Web based color management

ColorMasterConnect is the latest version of ColorMaster for production. It is running on different operating systems and devices. Seamless integration is possible with other applications like SedoMaster, SedoExpert, TEXconnect,..
A flexible integration of third-party systems can be realized via API. There is no installation required and updates can be made immediately.

Features:

• Seamless integration with SedoMaster
• For production applications
• Optimization of recipes
• Rules for optimizing treatments
• Cost and resource cutting

Fast material tests for lab and production

Morapex® is able to analyse and therefore control either raw or dyed material in minutes rather than hours, compared to standard methods. It can be used for textiles (woven, non-woven, knitted, yarn or fibre), paper and leather. The sytem works according to the method of forced desoprtion, which means the inner condition of a fabric is revealed.

Morapex® S is a stationary unit developed for a wide range of applications within the laboratory.

Morapex® A is a compact test device for use in production that can operate up to 95°C and the Multi Liquor option is able to operate with a wide range of wash liquids.

Typical applications:

• pH measurement
• Control of wash procedure
• Wash and water fastness checks
• Perspiration fastness checks
• Residual analysis (including size, alkali, acids, salts, peroxide, formaldehyde, etc.)
• Conductivity analysis
