Weaving production data – ready for gains at all hands: Jakob Müller’s digitalization portal spans all operation levels globally

Mymuenet should be mentioned in one breath with IoT and Industry 4.0 as for weavers in the narrow fabric business there is no bright future without taking advantage of production data. The browser-based software application montiors and controls weaving machines and additionally provides valuable evaluations and analysis.

Mymuenet – seamless integration process

Jakob Müller lives the fascination of ribbons and narrow fabrics by developing innovative machinery. Machines based on top technology have evolved continuously since its foundation in 1887. The recognition of customer needs and demands stood always in the centre and so it did when building the gateway to the Industry 4.0 era.

Prepared for success

Ready to compete means for weavers flexible, fast and secure exchange of data – at all company levels and worldwide. Readiness in today’s and most of all future market environments requires digitized weave rooms. Mymuenet is the key to tap the mill’s potential and the core piece connecting weaving mills with the age of IoT and Industry 4.0.

Mymuenet is the digitalization portal for the narrow fabric industry. Precisely, it’s a production data acquisition system with direct access to the machine control system that can be operated via PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Weavers can make data based decisions in order to set the right priorities. Worldwide production data monitoring with detailed production data information are available 24/7 to plan and organize the order procedure.

Information e.g. about article change or modification or order updates can be directed straight to the machine. There’s no faster way to advise the operator. No question, mymuenet enables significant efficiency gains.

Production on a new level

The implementation of this system increases work efficiency on a variety of application levels. Quick and clear visualization of production data information on a dashboard for each machine helps to speed up intervention; especially, when configurated with the essential limits of the key indicators.

Operators elaborate and set the ideal production parameters in terms of threshold management to always run the machine with the utmost performance and efficiency. These efforts are nullified when machine downtimes occur. The mymuenet’s alarm function – immediately indicating when an intervention is required – brings down the duration of machine stops substantially.

The add-on module mymuenet order management provides extended functionality of mymuenet basic and allows to increase productivity at production planning already. Providing a transparent overview on current orders, including information about remaining order run time on each machine – all on a global scale – this add-on module simplifies and accelerates production at this very early stage.

Ongoing add-on

The major advantage of mymuenet order management is the ease handling the article and pattern subject. Managed in a central storage environment article information and pattern libraries are save from any uncontrolled circulation or usage of patterns. The article ID option allows full and transparent pattern and article information. Pictures of pattern, machine setting protocols, draw-in plans and article tresholds, in short all relevant article data becomes available in one single file.

The mymuenet editor add-on module for creation, modification and correction of simple, shaft pattern articles extends the functionality of mymuenet order management.

The latest label production systems as well as narrow fabric weaving systems are ready to connect with mymuenet. Other machine generations can be linked via a UNI network module. The connection to more machine types as well as to ERP systems will follow soon. One more thing is for sure: mymuenet keeps up with the times and ahead of the times for customer satisfaction and competitiveness – and not to forget for the shared fascination of ribbons and narrow fabrics.
