[Object] To appropriately produce a product generated by printing on a medium.

[Solving Means] A production management system that manages production of a product generated by executing printing on a medium determines (S104, S114) a recommended condition of processing by an electronic device scheduled to be used for generation of a product, based on processing condition information indicating, for each step of generating the product, a relationship among quality of the product, a type and an installing place of the electronic device that performs at least one step of generating the product, and a recommended condition of processing by the electronic device, the target quality of the product, and the type and the installing place of the electronic device scheduled to be used for generating the product.

An allograft optimization system utilizes an optical system to determine the outer perimeter of a tissue blank for allograft cutting therefrom. The optical system determines an optimal allograft array pattern that can be derived from the irregular tissue blank and may include a plurality of various allograft shapes and sizes. A computer operates an allograft optimization computer program that receives input regarding the outer perimeter of the tissue blank. A cutting implement, such as a laser, is configured to cut the allografts from the irregularly shaped tissue blank according the allograft array pattern. The cutting implement is automatically actuated by an actuator with respect to the tissue blank to cut the allografts therefrom. The cutting implement may be a laser or a galvo laser that is directed by one or more mirrors. The tissue may be birth tissue including placental tissue and amnion.

The setting of textile machinery parameters is an important aspect that combines implicit knowledge of workers and engineers with explicit knowledge. As yarn and fabrics involved in a textile process are multicomponent artefacts, in order to automatize this process of machine configuration, a method for dissimilarity computation between two yarns is proposed including one or a combination of four algorithms to evaluate the similarity between two yarns, each composed by a list of materials. The method has proved to be successful for spinning setting and it can be applied in other steps of a textile process like weaving.

The invention relates to a computer implemented method for generating instructions for an automated textile cutter, including receiving one or more orders from one or more customers, the one or more orders each specifying one or more textile products comprising one or more sub-designs; and generating cutting instructions for the automated textile cutter, wherein the cutting instructions are configured to secure that the automated textile cutter leaves a connecting textile portion between at least two cut out sub-designs, when cutting according to the cutting instructions.

A method for placing pieces intended to be cut automatically from a fabric having a pattern that repeats at a predetermined pitch, called pattern pitch, involves the steps of determining a list of pieces to be placed on the fabric, for at least one piece of the placement, calculating a contour to be placed around the piece, the contour having a variable margin in order to avoid an overlap between adjacent pieces, the margin being a function of a predefined rate of variation of the fabric and of at least one predetermined constraint of placement of the piece on the fabric, and developing a theoretical placement of the pieces on the fabric taking into account the contour to be placed of each piece.

A textile mill system and associated method include a plurality of spinning mills each having textile machines. A computer system determines adapted machine parameters for the textile machines and processes within the spinning mills. The computer system includes a receiving and transmitting section configured to receive operational information from the spinning mills and the textile machines, and a first database configured to store the received operational information. A processing section includes an optimizer section with a neural network, wherein the neural network uses the operational information stored in the first database with processes for or derived from supervised or unsupervised machine or deep learning to determine the adapted machine parameters.

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.
