Advancing Textile Factory Efficiency: Implementing a Cost-Effective IoT-Based Alert System for Timely Machine Maintenance

Abstract

This research aims to address the persistent challenge of delayed machine fault notification in textile factories through the development of a cost-efficient alert system tailored specifically for this industry. Delayed notification of machine faults often leads to substantial downtime and diminished operational efficiency in textile manufacturing settings, where workers must navigate cumbersome communication channels to inform management and request technical assistance. To overcome this obstacle, the project proposes the implementation of an alert system integrating Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wireless communication technologies. This system ensures the seamless transmission of real-time alerts, thereby enabling swift response to machine malfunctions. Accessible through intuitive user interfaces on handheld devices or strategically positioned control panels near machinery, the system streamlines the fault reporting process and reduces the time and manual effort required to notify floor supervisors and technicians. By facilitating rapid communication, this project aims to enhance operational efficiency and minimize production disruptions in textile factories.
