Machine Utilization
Operational log that records the active duration and stoppage frequency of a weaving machine. Every loom runtime register tracks the time spent on active weaving versus the time lost to yarn breaks or mechanical repairs. It provides the mill manager with a clear picture of the efficiency of each loom in the shed.
High runtime figures indicate a well-prepared warp and a stable weaving environment.
Production Analysis
Evaluation of the stoppage reasons allows the technical team to identify patterns of failure in the yarn. If the loom runtime register shows frequent stops for weft breaks, the issue might lie in the winding tension of the yarn packages. The register also documents the total number of picks completed during a shift.
This data is used to calculate the output of greige fabric and the labor productivity of the weaver.
Performance Benchmark
Comparison between different loom types helps the mill decide on future equipment investments. Since linen is a demanding fibre to weave, the loom runtime register is essential for maintaining a profitable operation. The log is usually updated automatically by the loom’s electronic control system.
Detailed time tracking provides the only objective measure of factory floor performance.
