Kako učiniti tekstilnu industriju održivijom? Kroz cirkularne modele, ekološki prihvatljivije materijale i efikasniju proizvodnju. Spinnova, digitalno preduzeće iz Finske, zajedno sa Siemensom razvila je jedinstveno rješenje zasnovano na tehnologijama iz Siemens Xcelerator portfolija.
Potražnja za prirodnim vlaknima i održivom proizvodnjom u tekstilnoj industriji stalno raste. Spinnova na to odgovara inovativnim procesom koji troši minimalno vode i energije, bez upotrebe štetnih hemikalija i uz smanjene emisije CO₂. Njihova tehnologija omogućava proizvodnju vlakana iz celuloznih sirovina na način inspirisan načinom na koji pauci pletu mreže. Rezultat su vlakna koja izgledaju i deluju kao prirodna.
Simulacija kompletne fabrike obuhvata sve linije, mašine, proizvodne oblasti, informacije o recepturama i tokove materijala. Ove optimizacije skraćuju vreme puštanja u rad i omogućavaju obuku operatera pre početka proizvodnje.
Spinnova koristi Digital Twin proizvoda za istraživanje, projektovanje, optimizaciju i usklađivanje konačnih formulacija proizvoda. Time se obezbeđuje konzistentan kvalitet od sirovine pa sve do gotovog vlakna.
Spinnova želi da proizvodi održiva vlakna upravo tamo gdje su najpotrebnija. Uz globalnu tehnologiju i znanje kompanije Siemens, spremna je da iz korena promeni uticaj tekstilne industrije.
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.
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.
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.
