Transformação sustentável da indústria têxtil

Como a indústria têxtil pode se tornar mais sustentável? Adotando modelos circulares, materiais de baixo impacto e fabricação eficiente. A Spinnova, uma empresa digital da Finlândia, desenvolveu uma solução exclusiva em colaboração com a Siemens, usando a tecnologia do portfólio Siemens Xcelerator.

Como resolver a lacuna de fibra natural

A indústria têxtil enfrenta uma demanda crescente por fibras naturais e produção sustentável. A Spinnova atende a ambos com um processo que usa o mínimo de água e energia, evita substâncias químicas nocivas e reduz o CO₂. A tecnologia da Spinnova permite que os clientes produzam fibra têxtil a partir de matérias-primas celulósicas através de um processo que imita como as aranhas tecem suas teias. Essa abordagem exclusiva resulta em fibras com aparência e sensação semelhantes às fibras naturais.

Faster ramp-up from piloting to commercial production

Siemens technology reduces Spinnova’s time to market

Tempo de colocação no mercado mais rápido

Uma simulação de fábrica completa modela todas as linhas, máquinas, áreas de produção, informações de receitas e fluxos de materiais. Essas otimizações reduzem o tempo de comissionamento e permitem o treinamento do operador antes do início da produção.

Siemens technology ensures consistent high quality of Spinnova’s fiber production

Qualidade consistente

A Spinnova usa um Digital Twin do produto para pesquisar, projetar, otimizar e alinhar as formulações do produto final. Isso garante uma qualidade consistente desde a matéria-prima até a fibra acabada.

Spinnova leverages IT-OT convergence for real-time data analysis, optimizing energy, reducing errors, and increasing uptime

Escalabilidade global

A Spinnova visa produzir fibras sustentáveis onde elas são mais necessárias. Com a tecnologia e a experiência globais da Siemens, a Spinnova está pronta para mudar fundamentalmente a pegada da indústria têxtil.

Sustentabilidade em ação

Turning wood pulp into fibers

Spinnova is transforming the way textiles are manufactured globally. According to the UN, the fashion industry generates 92 million tons of waste annually. Spinnova innovates and develops the breakthrough patented technology for making textile fibers that are much more sustainable compared to, for example, conventional cotton.

Spinnova’s technology enables customers – raw material producers, fiber producers, and textile industry players – to produce textile fiber from variety of cellulosic raw materials through a mechanical process that mimics how spiders weave their webs. This unique production process results in fibers that look and feel similar to natural fibers such as cotton and linen.

A digital-first, data-driven approach

As a sustainable Digital Enterprise, Spinnova offers fiber producing technology that has a low carbon footprint and hardly uses any water. With a digital-first mindset, the company combines the real and digital worlds with software and a harmonized automation system from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to design, realize and optimize its product and production processes.

Data is key, and our technology such as Industrial Edge enables Spinnova to converge IT and OT data to track KPIs like energy consumption in near real-time and make them transparent to customers and partners. At the Woodspin factory, Spinnova demonstrates its technology on an industrial scale.

Building a success story based on true partnership at eye level

The main challenge to producing their fiber on an industrial scale was the lack of existing technology. Spinnova had to develop ways to automate and control the processes, create quality metrics and set standards. Working with us, from the pilot to an industrial demonstration factory, helped overcome the technology hurdles and scale up production faster.

Spinnova uses our automation hardware, instrumentation, drives, motors, simulation software, engineering software, and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solutions. We developed the OT network in collaboration with Spinnova, and it is protected by our holistic cybersecurity concept to secure production and IP.

At Oxford University, I heard about the similarities between spider silk and nanofibrillated cellulose. I wanted to create the exact same flow of fibers that happens inside the spider, but only using wood fibers.
