Abstract
A method and associated system are provided for predictive maintenance of a textile machine that has a plurality of sensors configured therewith. A reference value is defined for each sensor, and the reference values are stored in a data base. Each sensor is read during the operation of the textile machine and a signal from each sensor is correlated with the stored reference value for the sensor. An alert or warning is generated to an operator of the textile machine when the correlated signal from one or more of the sensors shows a data irregularity.

A method of predictive maintenance of a textile machine that has a plurality of sensors configured therewith, the method comprising the steps
- a) defining a reference value for each sensor and storing the reference values in a data base;
- b) reading each sensor during the operation of the textile machine;
- c) correlating a signal of each sensor with the stored reference value for the sensor;
- and
- d) generating an alert or warning to an operator of the textile machine when the correlated signal from one or more of the sensors shows a data irregularity.
A system for predictive maintenance of a textile machine, the system comprising:
- a) a plurality of sensors configured with the textile machine, each of the sensors measuring a physical quantity;
- b) a data base comprising a stored reference value for each sensor;
- c) a control system configured to correlate a signal from each sensor with the stored reference value for the sensor;
- and
- d) a display configured to present an alarm or warning to an operator of the textile machine when the correlated signal from one or more of the sensors shows a data irregularity.
