Project profile:
Fabric Manufacturing Tracking System.

There are many involved processes required in manufacturing fabric. Among these is the finishing process where the fabric is rolled and cut to length in pieces (called batching), labeled by lot number and serial number, inspected for defects, and finally packaged.

Black Box Technologies was hired to provide networked computerized inspection and batcher stations. The information is recorded from the inspectors and the batchers, and stored in a master database. The database organizes the data for simple report generation and archiving. This process was developed using Labview software with the SQL toolkit. The network is a Microsoft network set up as peer to peer using both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols. The batcher's station automatically prints out a piece ticket to be attached to the finished piece. A bar code is printed on the ticket and is used in the shipping department. The shipping department scans in each piece received in and uses this information to fill orders. The shipping computer software is also networked to the master database for complete tracking of fabric from each process to the time it is shipped.
