Energy Monitoring and Optimisation in Weaving
topic
Weaving department energy monitoring systems measure loom-level power consumption through smart meters connected to individual loom motor starters, calculating normalised energy consumption as kilowatt hours per kilogram of fabric or per 1000 metres of fabric by product type, enabling identification of looms with abnormal energy consumption indicating mechanical problems and benchmarking energy performance across loom types and fabric constructions.
Role
Reduces weaving department energy cost by providing the measurement visibility needed to identify energy waste from mechanically inefficient looms, unnecessarily high speeds on energy-intensive wide-width machines, and compressed air system leakage that are invisible without systematic energy monitoring, enabling targeted energy reduction interventions that deliver measurable cost savings with quantifiable impact on production carbon footprint.
