The Role of Computers in the Production of Synthetic Fibers

Research & Development Department, Badische Corporation, Anderson, South Carolina 29621, U. S. A.

The desire of the synthetic fibers industry to reduce manufacturing cost, to conserve energy and raw materials, and to increase productivity and unit capacity leads to the integration of individual manufacturing steps into high-speed, greatly-automated, one-step processes. Utilizing micropro cessors and computers for real-time process supervision or control and continuous mathematical analysis of essential process parameters, the product quality of the fiber produced is largely assured through improved process stability. Computer-assisted process control is steadily diminishing the importance of statistical product-quality testing. Process and equipment performance data, pro ductivity information, and inventory management are further potential benefits of such on-line systems.
