Unifi weaves a tight system

摘要

Textiles is a hands-off business. While the old materials handling adage of "the less handling, the better" clearly applies, textiles require the added guideline that no human contact is even better, eliminating sources of contamination for in-process yarns. With this in mind, Unifi, Inc. developed a materials handling system at its new extrusion and texturing facility in Yadkinville, N.C that eliminates almost all human interaction with the product. The system additionally provides consistent quality of outgoing yarns, eliminates manual handling processes, improves ergonomics, optimizes run time, and adds flexibility.
