Trajnostna preobrazba tekstilne industrije

Kako lahko tekstilna industrija postane bolj trajnostna? Z uvedbo krožnih modelov, materialov z manjšim vplivom na okolje in učinkovite proizvodnje. Finsko podjetje Spinnova je v sodelovanju s podjetjem Siemens razvilo edinstveno rešitev, pri čemer je uporabilo tehnologijo iz portfelja Siemens Xcelerator.

Kako zapolniti vrzel na področju naravnih vlaken

Tekstilna industrija se sooča z vse večjim povpraševanjem po naravnih vlaknih in trajnostni proizvodnji. Spinnova zadovoljuje obe potrebi s postopkom, ki porabi minimalno količino vode in energije, ne vključuje škodljivih kemikalij ter zmanjšuje izpuste CO₂. Spinnovina tehnologija strankam omogoča proizvodnjo tekstilnih vlaken iz celuloznih surovin s postopkom, ki posnema način, kako pajki tkejo svoje mreže. Ta edinstven pristop omogoča pridobivanje vlaken, ki so po videzu in otipu podobna naravnim vlaknom.

Faster ramp-up from piloting to commercial production

Siemens technology reduces Spinnova’s time to market

Krajši čas do uvedbe na trg

Factory Simulation zajema vse proizvodne linije, stroje, proizvodne prostore, podatke o recepturah in tokove materialov. Te optimizacije skrajšajo čas zagona in omogočajo usposabljanje operaterjev še pred začetkom proizvodnje.

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

Dosledna kakovost

Podjetje Spinnova uporablja Digital Twin izdelka za raziskovanje, oblikovanje, optimizacijo in usklajevanje končnih sestav izdelkov. S tem zagotavlja dosledno kakovost od surovin vse do končnega vlakna.

Globalna prilagodljivost

Cilj podjetja Spinnova je proizvodnja trajnostnih vlaken tam, kjer so najbolj potrebna. S pomočjo globalne tehnologije in strokovnega znanja podjetja Siemens je Spinnova pripravljena temeljito spremeniti vpliv tekstilne industrije na okolje.

Sustainability v akciji

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.
