What if the investment in digitizing a spinning mill pays off in no time?

The current crisis forced many companies to push their digital transformation. What kept companies from digitalizing earlier could be the fear that new tools will have a negative impact on the already established processes.

With My Mill, Truetzschler put a special focus on quick wins. Not all spinning mills feature a fully equipped IT department with full-time employees. The goal is to guide customers to their focus areas intuitively and provide analyses for production, quality and maintenance that they can extend individually at any time.

Big data

An easy-to-understand data preparation makes it possible to discover optimization potentials immediately and to plan resources sensibly. Fault statistics, shift data and quality comparisons provide a solid entry point to focus on production bottlenecks and quality limiters. Notifications will appear, when attention is required, e.g. when a machine leaves its limits.
