Textile ERP
The majority of Textile ERP installations have had limited impact on business performance and in-fact
just add a new layer of administration. This is because the bases of the implementation is
wrong. Most companies simply translate the working practice from paper based to computer with
little or no integration of processes. The physical functioning of the organization remains the same,
and so limited improvement or benefit is achieved. In-fact the introduction of IT merely adds another
layer of administration, which can slow the production process.

The majority of the failures in ERP implementation has been in Textiles as this sector involves to most
integration of processes as the production, management, sales, and planning processes are tightly
integrated and wholly influenced by each other. Stock is purchased and inventory is managed based
on customer demand and requirements. Most companies operate on an on-demand production
model, which requires decision makers to have relevant up-to date information in order to manage
the performance and maximize the use of available resources.

The key to a successful ERP implementation is the design of the data gathering process. This is the
down fall of most ERP systems as the data gathering is both limited, and involves manual data entry.
Limited data means limitations on the functionality of the ERP system, and manual data entry mean
data lags, and multi entry of the same information. This limited model of data entry impacts on the
depth and breath of available data, which compromises the uses ability to make timely and accurate
decisions.

The textile industry has a number of unique features that make it different from other manufacturing
sectors. Customizing a general ERP solution for textile use is therefore an extremely demanding and
difficult task. Often the people doing the customization don't have specific expertise for the textile
sector but even those experts that have the necessary expertise will agree that the requirements of a
textile ERP are not catered for by existing generic ERP software, and so limit the benefits of the
solution they are able to produce.

Opting for a custom built solution is an even bigger challenge as the complexities involved in
developing a normal ERP solution are so huge that most such project fail within the first year, and
never get to actual implementation stage. The question that should be asked by anyone thinking of
implementing their own ERP solution is why do people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to
companies like SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft if developing and ERP solution was that easy. It has taken
Infox over five years to get to a stage where we can offer an ERP solution to industry.

Infox has developed an IT framework for the Textile industry that facilitates the needs of all clients.
We understand that our clients have varying needs, and are at different stages of their IT evolution.
Infox has stuck to its core principal and that is to meet the individual needs of clients rather than
dictate the path we support our clients on their journey. The Infox EPR solution is modularized and
facilitates clients by allowing them to pick the modules they need. We understand that clients have
existing investments and working process that are embedded in their organization so we offer our
clients technology that taken them to the next stage of their IT journey.

The Infox ERP solution is based on the latest data modeling and dispersed communication architecture
facilitating open connectivity from any platform or system. The ERP solution has been developed with
use of multiple data gathering methods with a view to capture maximum data at source with
minimum user input. The biggest challenge in any textile ERP implementation is the gathering of data.
Infox has already developed proven data gathering technology, which is able to operate in the most
demanding environment. Infox has develop a range of data input and gathering devices, which have
enabled the first truly real-world integrated ERP solution for the textile industry. The data gaps and
time lag inputs that exist in all current textile ERP’s are not a factor with the Infox ERP.

The Infox EPR system penetrates the whole enterprise and provides support to every process
currently running in the enterprise. Managers are able to see the impact and usage of every
resources in the enterprise, and can track every asset, inventory item, and stock item to ensure they

Infox Architecture
The architecture has three layers:

The Data Gathering layer:- This facilitates the gathering of data from the real world processes and
consists on embedded devices, dedicated data input terminals, and GUI inputs like PC’s, Tablets, or
Mobile.

The Data Processing Layer:- This combines the data inputs with business logic to provide insight into the
organizational performance through reporting, alerting, and prompting.

The Data Store Layer:- Holds raw and processed data and supports data flow and availability to
connected processes.

The Design of the architecture allows each layer to function independently and can be further split by
module. The area of concern for most existing ERP implementation has traditionally been the data
gathering layer so with Infox technology clients can now bridge the gaps in their existing ERP. Modules
with limited data gathering can be enhanced with the infox data gathering layer. 8

Data Gathering Layer

Getting the real world data into the EPR system has been the biggest challenge and most systems have had
limited success in this area. Traditionally data has been entered into systems by data entry personal via data
entry terminals. Data entry in this manner works when the data flow is at the same speed as the data entry
process. With textiles the data is produced and flows much faster than it is possible for manual entry.
Textiles is further complicated by the data flow and connectivity between processes as one process feeds into
the next and so data is required to be feed in at the speed of the process flow. Many organizations have
discovered that their ERP dream falls sort due to this data flow problem, and never get beyond implementing
finance, HR, and sales.

Infox designers realized from the start that they needs an efficient data gathering framework, which
facilitates multiple date input points and types. Infox has developed two main data gathering modules:-

Real-time process monitoring

The infox real-time process monitoring can gather production data from any automated machine process, and
is best suited for simultaneous multi machine gathering. Infox has based its own machine eyes loom
monitoring solution on this framework, which allows automated data gathering directly from the automated
processes. This framework was developed using industrial wireless protocol which is able to operate in the
harshest environment, and is able to maintain 100% data integrity. The wireless devices are able to gather
data directly from the automated process by connecting to the process or machine, and then communicate
that data back to the ERP software for analysis and processing.

Multi-Purpose Data Input Terminal

The Infox Multi-Purpose Data Input Terminal has been designed so it can be attached to any data point in the
information flow process. Using the terminal data can be gathered at the point of processing so physical flow
and the ERP data flow are maintained in synchronization. The input terminal also allows operators to gain
access to ERP data thus facilitating data flow between processes. The Infox ERP system uses this technology
as the main data gathering tool, by attaching these terminals to data points throughout the textile
information flow. Data input terminals are used to gather stock room, warping process, sizing process,
inspection process, inventory store, delivery management, and gate control information. The terminal design
allows any type of data to be gathered. Features include digital touch screen, RF-ID, input Key pad, Multi
Sensor feeds, USB ports, Barcode Reader, and Barcode printer.

Infox have developed a data gathering layer which can be used independently from any ERP implementation.
This independent operational feature allows Infox to offer their technology to all ERP systems. Infox
understands that many clients have already started their journey to the ERP dream, and also realize that most
of these clients are unable to overcome the limitations of their information gathering. Now with the
technology Infox has developed clients can move their ERP forward to realize the real ERP dream. Infox data
gathering layer can be integrated with all ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and in-house systems.

Production planning optimizes the utilization of manufacturing capacity, parts, components and material
resources using historical production data and sales forecasting.

Our focus with production planning module is to capture real time data from input processes, which will
allow manages to monitor and manage current production flow and efficiency. We go further by making
this data available to the whole enterprise where this data can be used to help improve production, feed
into better reward structures, and be available to planning during order negotiations.

This revolution in production data usage is made possible by the design and implementation of embedded
devices. The modules has following sub modules :

1. Yarn & Spinning

Purchase Module
The purchase module streamlines the procurement of required raw materials. It automates
the processes of identifying potential suppliers, negotiating price, awarding purchase order
to the supplier, and billing processes. The Purchase module tightly integrates with the
accounts and finance, inventory control, and production planning modules so the purchasing
module has a tight bond with supply chain management, and a strong bond with accounts
and finance module.

It mainly emphasis on following types :

1. Purchases of Cotton
2. Purchases of Yarn
3. Purchases of General Items
4. Purchases of Dyes & Chemicals
5. Purchases of Spare Parts
6. Purchases Sizing Services (Outside Sizing)
7. Purchases of Fabric ( Direct Fabric Purchases)
8. Other Purchases

Organizations buy many different goods and services. As previously indicated, the challenge
for purchasing is deciding on the supplier that offers the best opportunity for items an
organization must purchase externally. Following lists describes many of the items that a
purchasing department is responsible for buying. Services are a special category of spend and
the involvement of purchasing depends on the organization.

Type of Purchase Description Examples


Raw materials Items with a lack of processing by the Yarn , Cotton
supplier into a newly formed product.
Often these raw materials are not of
equal quality and are purchased by
“grade.”

Maintenance Module

Plant maintenance is often overlooked during EPR planning but is an area that requires
resource management and effective physical interventions. The Maintenance module in the
Infox ERP allows management and staff to develop and maintain effective plant maintenance
processes. The module helps track maintenance activity and provides tools to ensure
maintenance tasks are carried out in a timely end efficient manner.

The organizations management will be able to monitor the effectiveness of their


maintenance routines, and will be able to see the impact of their maintenance planning has
on the business. By having access and feeding data into the ERP the maintenance processes
will have visibility to the whole business flow and visa versa. The planning and production
department will have prior knowledge of planned maintenance and will be able to take this
into account during their individual planning. The planning department will have access to
current production and down time schedules and will be able to synchronize planned and
necessary maintenance with other events to minimize impact on business.

This module leverages data gathered primarily for other purposes to validate and schedule
maintenance. Vehicle maintenance like regular oil change and tyre changes will be validated
against mileage gathered in the tracking date to ensure maximum value is extracted so these
regular maintenance tasks occur on correct intervals. Machine maintenance will be validated
against actual running time as this data is gathered during production. Parts life expectancy
can be validated and poor performing parts can be easily identified. Managers will be able to
better justify purchase of maintenance items based on the performance and business need
rather than constant trial and error or biases recommendations.

A complete requirements analysis can be conducted with the staff and management to
identify all machinery items and maintenance tasks that require monitoring. For any areas
where exiting or planned devices are not gathering data a new device will be deployed to
gather data specifically for the maintenance process using the Infox Multi-Purpose Data Input
Terminal.

Compliance Module

Compliance has become the latest buzz word in the textile sector but with the pressure being
placed on companies to prove compliance it has become a business need to have systems in
place that can be seen to ensure compliance.

The Infox ERP system compliance module includes all compliance related rules and
monitoring of relevant certification, and compliance related procedures. The module has
been developed with the understanding that compliance is a changing and evolving area.
Compliance has a number of areas that it touches on from compliance with international
standards like ISO 9001, to textile specific compliance rules such chemicals usage and
wastage. Compliance also now includes labor laws and energy consumption.

This module allows compliance rules to be defined and then uses the data already gathered
through the physical processes to ensure that the defined rules are being complied with. In
addition to ensuring that processes are complying with existing standards and laws the
compliance module also include features to track certification and inspection data.

Managers are able to produce detailed compliance reports on the different defined areas,
which can be shown to regulators and inspectors to prove adherence to standards and laws.
The compliance module also provides all areas and departments with the tool to ensure they
do not violate any compliance rules. This will be key for the HR departments compliance
responsibilities in connection with labor laws.

In addition to supporting compliance Infox will also work with management to build in
features that will facilitate compliance by providing easy complaints handling, employee
committee collaboration, work force training and employee management interaction
pathways.

Fleet Management

Fleet management is based on GSM/GPS & Satellite data communication to enable tracking
and monitoring of vehicles for fleet management, cargo security and logistics applications.

The communication terminals will maintain a crucial lifeline to assets that travel across
borders and through remote regions, providing low-cost communications even in areas with
even no cellular coverage. Giving you the ability to easily check equipment status, monitor
driver behavior and deter theft to increase productivity and maximize profits.

Application software with Advanced GIS Integration and quick response time system is
backbone of fleet management system; The system with poor software design can never be
effectively implemented and could never give you benefit to track your company vehicle. The
Infox ERP GIS Application software will be integrated with WCF service hence no need to
fetch location from database the application will have front end with integration to Google
Maps.

Geo fencing polygon drawing is just a process of dragging virtual boundary, geo coding and
reverse geo-coding features are just a trivial trial of this system.
The system is featured with Play route, Data Logging Reports, Vehicle Idle time reports and
easy vehicle location search.

Wireless Security Management

Introduction to infox Jinn

This is the era of information technology and everyone has access to information. Lives of human
beings are all deviated and they can access the benefits of cutting edge technologies. Wireless Intrusion
Detection Systems are used as a second level protection for protecting the perimeter of a sensitive area
already guarded by an existing boundary wall. It can generate immediate alert on detection of
unwanted intrusion.

Infox jinn wireless intrusion detection system will detect intrusion automatically, through multi-level
detection mechanism (IR sensor & motion sensor) and will generate multi-level alert (buzzer, images,
segment illumination, SMS) to notify security officers, owners and also illuminate the particular
segment where the intrusion happened. This system will enable the authority to quickly handle the
emergency through identification of the area of incident quickly, and to take action.

LONG RANGE PASSIVE IR SENSORS


Passive IR sensors are used in object detection due to their specific properties. Passive IR sensor can
operate both during the day and night. These sensors operating within visible and infrared radiation
they can operate in the conditions of limited visibility (e.g.in a fog or smoke area). Passive sensors are
undetectable devices different from active systems. They are safe for service personnel, for eyes and
environment.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The collecting optics of passive sensor is decisive for quality of device operation as well as effects
quantity and spectral composition of the radiation focused on a detector. The detector integrates
optical signal over its surface and converts it into an electrical signal. Electrical systems for signal
conversion amplify and filter the signal that is next analyzed by an automated decisive system.
Frequency and noise characteristics of electronics system influence on correctness of the final analysis
of the signal, the result of which is decision about object detection.

Passive radiation sensors are used for detection of objects crossing the optical barrier. The Long
wavelength detection band is chosen to significantly lower intensity of reflected solar radiation, and is
ability to operate in rugged environments. The application of optical filters, and cutting the radiation of
the wavelength shorter than 8 micro-meters significantly decreases the level of false alarms.

Detection

The perimeter of the boundary is segmented into multiple straight-line segments of length <=250
meters. The following Figure illustrates ten-segment intrusion detection system. Then, each segment is
protected against intrusion using a pair of Wireless Intrusion Detection units. There is no limit to the
number of segments that can be used to protect a long boundary wall.

With a ten-segment intrusion detection system as shown in Figure this will include ten Wireless
Intrusion Detection units, wireless routers for data communication to a remote computer (central
security office) and software at the central security office for visualization, report generation and data
analysis
