Improvements to a Seamless Fabric Production Line and Mathematical Modeling and Optimization of Production Efficiency and Material Utilization Rates Before and After Those Improvements
This paper proposes an improved seamless fabric production line and its mathematical models before and after optimization to enhance production efficiency and material utilization in textile manufacturing. By adjusting the production process of the seamless fabric production line and formulating corresponding mathematical models for equipment selection and other related issues before and after the modifications, this study aims to increase the number of products produced per unit time and reduce the material consumption per unit product. Experimental results show that the optimized seamless fabric production line achieves a 0.98% to 71.70% increase in production output per unit time and reduces raw material consumption by 9.55% to 10.63%. Future research can further explore the impact of additional variables on production line efficiency to refine and optimize the workflow further.
