Weaving MES System · End-to-End Digitalization for Water-Jet, Air-Jet and Rapier Looms
Covering the five core processes of "warping → sizing → drawing-in → weaving → greige inspection and warehousing"; ✨ Integrated with our proprietary light-beam warp breakage detection device: alarms in 0.3 seconds and pinpoints the exact broken warp end; looms per operator rise from 25 to 40, and defective fabric falls by over 60%. Built around the textile-native Zhisuo AI voice assistant, with 10 languages and a card-style PDA mobile app, it deploys directly in overseas mills and lets owners manage the entire plant in real time from their phones.
Smart Weaving Workshop Scenario
Water-jet, air-jet and rapier looms are networked plant-wide; beam warp detection triggers a linked stop within 0.3 s, while OEE, output and piece-rate wages appear live on one dashboard.
Run Your Weaving Shed by Voice — Built-In Textile-Native AI Large Model
Features no traditional weaving MES offers: loom operators, shift leaders, plant managers and owners can use it simply by speaking — no menus to memorize and no operation training needed.
Voice Queries Across Every Weaving Module
Ask "how many meters of fabric did we weave today", "which loom has the lowest efficiency" or "how many warp breakages did Loom No. 3 have this month" — results appear in seconds.
AI Anomaly Root Cause Analysis
Ask "why is Vessel No. 3's rework rate so high" or "why are there more warp breakages on the night shift" — the AI automatically correlates raw material, process, temperature/humidity and shift data to deliver the Top 3 causes.
One-Click AI-Generated Reports
Say "give me last month's first-pass success rate report sorted by shift" — an Excel file is generated automatically and sent to management; owners can query reports by voice.
Multi-Turn Dialogue + Colloquial Understanding
Supports vague phrasing, everyday speech and industry jargon; follow up with "what's this loom's history?" and the conversation context is expanded automatically.
Voice Queries in 10 Languages
Chinese, English, Japanese, Kazakh, Vietnamese, Malay, Indonesian, Arabic, French and Russian — ready to use directly in overseas weaving mills.
Strict Read-Only · Data Security
The AI is strictly read-only: it cannot modify data or issue machine commands. Sensitive fields (costs/wages) are isolated by account permissions, and any unauthorized access is blocked automatically.
🎯 Four Typical Pain Points in the Weaving Shed
Traditional weaving floors rely heavily on paper traveler cards and manual patrols by loom operators: warp breakage stoppages are responded to slowly, the true running time of looms is recorded inaccurately, and batch traceability means digging through ledgers, often taking hours.
Delayed Response to Warp Breakages
Conventional drop wires easily rust and stick together. With each operator tending 24–48 looms, abnormalities are spotted late, and looms "running empty" cause the effective running rate to be understated. ✅ Solution: 0.3-second alarms pinpointing the exact broken warp end
Paper Traveler Cards Are Easily Lost
Warping lot numbers, sizing beam numbers and drawing-in records are handwritten on cards; once a card is lost or soiled, batch traceability means hours — sometimes more than a day — of searching through shop-floor ledgers. ✅ Solution: 7-level one-code traceability, located in 1 minute
Piece-Rate Wages Calculated Manually
Output, style coefficients and quality deductions are recorded by shift leaders and then re-entered into Excel, making month-end calculation labor-intensive, dispute-ridden and slow to pay, and hurting worker satisfaction. ✅ Solution: automatic calculation; workers check wages anytime on their phones
No Ledger for Material and Spare-Part Consumption
Requisitions of reeds, healds, drop wires and sizing auxiliaries are incompletely registered, leaving root-cause analysis of abnormal loom wear and abnormal warp breakages without material-dimension data support. ✅ Solution: AI auto-correlates the Top 3 root causes

📈 Quantified Customer Value · Typical-Scenario Projections After 3 Months Live
All figures below are presented on a "typical-scenario projection" basis (internally simulated validation comparing the manual mode with linked light-beam warp breakage hardware); actual results vary with company size and baseline conditions.
🏭 Three Major Application Scenarios
Covering the three mainstream weaving technologies — water-jet, air-jet and rapier — with phased deployment for everyone from small 48-loom mills to group enterprises with 500+ looms.
For: family-style mills with 20–120 water-jet looms. Start with Phase 1 — "weaving + greige inspection + piece rate + AI assistant" — live and delivering results in 3–4 weeks at low investment.
For: mid-size weaving enterprises with 120–360 air-jet/rapier looms; all five processes and 12 module cards go live. Combined with the light-beam warp breakage detection device, loom-tending optimization is most pronounced above 120 looms: 25 → 40 looms per operator.
For: group enterprises with multiple sites, multiple workshops and overseas operations; natively 10 languages + right-to-left Arabic + multi-timezone, supporting export orders and group-level OEE, quality and cost analysis.
