Sustainable and Innovative Mechatronic Prototype for Yarn Analysis in the Textile Industry

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Portuguese textile industry faces important challenges in a globalized market, demanding greater competitiveness and superior product quality. The excellence of the yarns is fundamental to guarantee the high quality of textile products, requiring a precise assessment based on pre-established parameters. Although there are advances in the area, the yarn evaluation devices available on the market still have characteristics such as high costs, volume, and inaccurate evaluations. To overcome these difficulties, this study allowed the development of a new design with a new approach, through the creation of a mechatronic prototype that allowed the analysis of yarn quality parameters. This innovative system allows the analysis and classification of hairiness of hair, in addition to evaluating essential parameters such as linear mass, diameter, and twist orientation, among others. An important aspect of the functionality of this prototype is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. These algorithms were developed and optimized to accurately identify and characterize hairiness, increasing the accuracy of assessments obtained through AI. The main focus of this work is on innovative design that integrates mechanical and electronic components. The addition of the AI component to the prototype allowed this created system to be innovative and also allowed it to overcome the limitations of traditional yarn evaluation methods. This research work represents a significant advance in the accurate and efficient analysis and assessment of yarn quality, through a mechatronic solution that is integrated with AI, non-destructive, and focused on sustainability.
