...brings Iteco wherever you are

New clearing stantards to lead future

Iteco, headquartered in Prato/Italy, is the inventor of quality controllers in chenille and fancy yarn production. Since the early ‘70, Itecodevelops, produces and sells (under the ISO 9001: 2000 assessed quality standards), in cooperation with chenille and fancy yarn makers, paramount performance clearers for special yarns.
The worldwide patented Itecotechnology includes customer-defined electronic yarn clearers for winding and spinning, control unit devices, resident or internet-based information technology platforms.
Today's chenille yarn market is characterised by worldwide substantial overcapacity, dramatic price dumping and constantly increasing quality requirements of weaving mills.

In other words, for a chenille spinning mill to be really successful on the marketplace, highest quality (possibly 'zero defects') at competitive price is the only way to go. Then it's a must of the chenille mill's management to react to this increasingly challenging market situation, eventually following a completely new approach in quality process and cost assurance. Iteco mission is to develop new technology to let the above be, by setting new standards in chenille and fancy clearing and introducing the on-line internet services to offer to any customer, wherever it is, the today widest available experience in special yarn clearing.

We comfort you with our experience; on-line at your disposal !

The new data station

V-Palm Data Station

Oracle is operated via V-PALM Data Station, that is made up by a Docking Station which power supplies the heads and by the V-PALM handheld terminal, a wireless laptop PC equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi interfaces. V-Palm is a battery-operated, 6.5" touch-screen 256 million colours LCD display laptop. 40Gb HDD, LAN, 2 USB, VGA, Windows XP.

The V-Palm allows to remotely program the clearers, directly near to the winding head, without being hardwired to them and with no need to stay close to the central unit of the machine. The Wi-Fi or the LAN port allows to have the V-Palm connected to the Internet and the Iteco LAB Service Center to remote control, supervise and program the ORACLE clearing system.

Teleservicing Software

V-Camera

V-PALM is equipped with the V-Camera, a digital camera which alloes Iteco LAB Service Center to see real-time the environment around the head live, in order to give suggestions of yarn path or clearer fixing on the winding machine, offering an additional support on the using of the clearers.

Quality and Efficiency software

Built-in the V-Palm, customer can also supervise the efficiency of the winding machine, in order to control the working performances, 24h/day. V-Palm software provides efficiency data per shift, daily per week, per month...
Customer can also supervise the mill quality, by analysing the defect recording that V-Palm software is getting 24h/day, checking them on databases or graphically. Quality and Efficiency software can be shared with Iteco LAB Service Center in order to find a solve possible causes of low production and quality.
