Industry 4. 0 in Textile Production

This book discusses the design of textile production within the framework Industry 4.0. Relevant research topics in the textile industry are identified and solutions are conceptualized, developed and implemented. This is followed by an evaluation of the solutions in which, among other things, the profitability is considered. Questions about the transfer of knowledge into the company complete the work. Industry 4.0 in Textile Production provides a rich investigation into and survey of textile production The informative cases studies, clear perspective, and detailed analysis make this book of great use to engineers, researchers and postgraduate students interested in the textile industry.
