A method to operate a ring spinning system containing a ring spinning machine having spinning positions and a winding machine having winding positions. Yarn is spun at the spinning position and wound to a cop. Values of a spinning parameter are determined at different times during the winding of the cop and stored as spinning data. The cop is transported from the spinning position to the winding position, where the yarn is rewound from the cop onto a bobbin. Values of a yarn parameter are determined at at least two different times during the rewinding, and stored as yarn data. The spinning data and the yarn data are assigned to each other such that they relate to the same yarn section. Based on the spinning data and yarn data assigned, an intervention is made on the ring spinning machine.

A first operating device for operation of a textile machine includes a basic mode function and an expert mode function for operation of the textile machine by a user. A switching function allows the user to switch between the basic and expert mode functions. A remote transmitting function provides for communication to a second operating device assigned to a remote textile machine so that the user at the textile machine can operate the remote textile machine in the basic or expert mode via the first and second operating devices. A remote receiving function provides for communication from the second operating device assigned to the remote textile machine so that a remote user can operate the textile machine in the basic mode or expert mode from the remote textile machine via the second and first operating devices.

The invention relates to a method for reducing errors in textile machines via training management of the operating personnel. In order to provide a method and a system which reduce the number of errors occurring and thereby guarantee the desired product quality, as well as reducing costly repairs and long downtimes of the textile machine and thereby lowering operating costs and

increasing efficiency and operating safety, according to the invention, as method steps, the method first involves error detection at at least one textile machine, followed by detecting error information when an error occurs, wherein the detected error or error information is subsequently aligned with available instructional and/or training content and/or already known error information, and an item of instructional and/or training content relating to a possible cause of the error is identified for future error prevention, and finally the instructional and/or training content for error-specific training or training prompted by the error is delivered to the operating personnel in order to prevent a future occurrence of the error, improve the operating competency of the operating personnel and/or increase the operating safety.

An electronic device and associated method are used to detect a fault in a spinning mill and to estimate one or more sources of the fault, the spinning mill including a plurality of textile machines that sequentially process textile materials. With the electronic device, the method receives parameter information of one or more of the textile machines and of one or more of the textile materials. The electronic device detects faults and location of the faults by identifying parameter information of the textile materials deviating from reference information. The electronic device is used to access configuration information of the textile machines and knowledge-based information related to possible sources of faults in the spinning mill. The method incudes using the electronic device to apply parameter information, configuration information, and knowledge-based information to one or more machine-learning algorithms to estimate the sources of the faults.
