Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to increase decision effectiveness in textile manufacturing through the design and implementation of a new real-time (on-line) LabView based software and hardware system for measuring actual and accurate total stoppage time of the machines in the entire factory. The data would be utilized in predicting the total productivity of any Textile manufacturing organization. The system was designed using a microcontroller and Lab View 8.5 from National Instruments. It was simulated on a circular knitted machine. The system could be applied on any number of machines after slight modification in the electronic circuits and the software
