Tekso Textile Automation Co. Ltd. which offers automation technologies in textile field for the service of their customers is carrying out Turkey agency of Strayfield High Frequency Drier and Sedo Treepoint dyeing and finishing automation systems. General Manager of Tekso, Alparslan Yarar who answered the question of latest developments on automation systems for our Publication Group said ‘’ With the simplest definition, automation is the status of a work to be shared between person and machine. While the shared percentage of the work defines automation level, when person sharing percentage is higher we call this ‘’ half- automation’’ and when the machine percentage is higher we call this ‘’ full automation’’.
Yarar stated that automation is a must of our day ever after and it plays a big role for quality increase, increasing of competitive power, reducing the costs, not losing of possibilities, time earning, reducing of working accidents, creating standards and providing work order. He also expressed that due to these kind of reasons, although the first investment costs, automation can find place for itself and people care about automation studies and take share which is suitable for their working field in textile sector.
Strayfield
Yarar who stated that Strayfield which they carried out the agency as being Tekso against conventional bobbin/ fiber drying systems, it is the first manufacturer of the machine which provides drying by using high frequency, also added his words that the usage of high frequency of Strayfield enabled rapid, quality and standard bobbin/ fiber drying. The new Hybrid model of the machine which runs with mainly electricity energy, Yarar stated that it provides 20% of saving when compared to its competitors and it won an important seat in the sector with its homogeny drying structure.
Sedomat Control Device
Yarar stated that German Sedo Treepoint which carries on business on dyeing plant and they have undertaken its agency for more than 30 years also is an active branch of manufacturing software and hardware for textile dyeing and finishing sector of Italian Savio Group. Yarar who referred that the two most important features on dyeing plant automation to be pay attention to be used the same type devices also said ‘’ If this subject escaped from the attentions during the machinery purchasing, unfortunately, there isn’t a system to be able to provide automation by following up all processes and in this case we revise the panels of devices which don’t have Sedomat Control Device and apply Sedomat Control Devices. This is the part of our business’’.
“After plant is made functional completely with Sedomat Control Devices, software program which we call SedoMaster is set in a computer in the center. Thus, all machines get working from a remote center. Sedo Treepoint can combine SedoMaster Center system with Laboratory. Fort his, there is another one software which can include Spectrophotometer called ColorMaster. The receipt which is gauged in Spectrograph and has the confirmation of laboratory, prepares optimized production receipt by ColorMater Software automatically by determining machine features, customer features, colorant features, material features and other special situation which can be defined by plant and send the receipt to SedoMaster when request comes via SedoMaster in the center to transfer to the concerned machine’’.
Yarar who said that SedoMaster can also carry out inventory pursuit of chemical materials and colorants as being a seat storehouse with inventory module, he also told SedoMaster gives purchasing alarm by determining deficient materials. Yarar who said ‘’ SedoMaster follows up your running speed, your efficiency and mistakes and reports these. It plans your processes, intercalates and helps you to work planned’’, said that it took programs which were carried out in upper systems directly to the dyeing plant as a work command by communicating with other upper systems. Yarar who referred that the production process gained speed thanks to this and SedoMaster informed upper system in order to transmit all costs calculating such as consumption items, water, electricity and steam to the finance system in the lot terminations.
Flex and Morapex
Yarar who also stated that SedoMaster provided chemical and/ or colorant substance automatic systems with dyeing machines to communicate and provided system to run full automatic, he continued his words ‘’ I cannot pass without mentioned about two products of Sedo Treepoint which has still protected to be unique in the world: Flex and Morapex.
Flex controls whether recipe is prepared with the correct amounts by gauging the sample which is taken from the color solution. After this part is more interesting, if it isn’t prepared correct, it doesn’t have poured the dye, it reports you how to correct. And Morapex helps to carry out Ph measure, fastness washing, colorfastness and sweat fastness within 2- 3 minutes in the laboratory which normally takes 1- 1,5 hours and slows down the production line. It contributes for production to speed up’’.
“We are not dependent on outside service”
Yarar who uttered the importance of technical services at software and automation field, said ‘’ As being Tekso Textile Automation, we meet before and after sales services on Sedo Treepoint products Turkey- wide. In our after sales services, we don’t have the dependence on outside like 10 years before. The devices which has already low error, we have every part of the device in our inventory. And in software, the whole assemblies of the system are carried out us. As I stated, the number of trouble and frequency is quite low. But when this happens, we can clear up the problem via internet by connecting system distant after we take the confirmation of our customer. In case of arising a problem which we cannot handle with, working with rooted Sedo Treepoint firm is a confidence of course’’.
Wide Customer Range
Yarar who said they gave service for many firms that serve for textile sector in Turkey, said ‘’ Besides among the firms we work with Anateks, Bossa, Coats, Fistaş, Kipaş, Nuryıldız, Palben, Sanko, Yeşim Textile, sometimes small businesses who are tired of the troubles can also find us after they hear about our devices. We are trying to different size firms to benefit the same German quality in line with their demands by offering them different solutions and we are making effort to satisfy the people who find us. Therefore we have a wide customer range’’.
Competition is important in textile
Yarar who evaluated 2015 which we left behind the first half, mentioned that they were in the sector for a long time and their profit margins decreased when compared to the past, also said ‘’ Textile sector is a sector which works an increasing conscious day by day, care about competition power and has a big steps being the making of an educated sector. I think it will always find place for itself on Turkish economy as being a locomotive sector. I was satisfied with 2014. And I can say already now that I am satisfied with 2015 as well’’. Yarar who stated that he was hopeful about 2015 and after, continued his words as the following ‘’ I ascribe more global answers for the future question of especially textile sector. When we combine our mind with our honesty as sector, I believe that the way always will be open and satisfied’’.
