Systems integration of a mixed fibre detection process in raw yarn packages by computer vision

New automation technologies are introducing important changes in company production organization in all sectors, and particularly, in yarn textile factories. As a result of these changes, the product moves automatically from the point where production begins to the point where it is packed, without human intervention. Thus, the generation of any flaw in the product is not detected in any case, and therefore, the defective product is delivered to the client, which could represent a high cost for companies.
