ABB drives empower Indian textile equipment for productivity and precision

Sieger, a leading provider of automation solutions for textile mills, utilizes tailored drives from ABB for its material transportation solution across various yarn package handling systems. Optimizing Sieger’s highly reliable solution, ABB drives are helping it deliver improved productivity, safe and precise movements, and energy efficiency.

Based in Coimbatore, the textile capital of south India, Sieger provides end-to-end automation solution for textile mills across the country, enabling them to optimize the way yarn cones are handled and managed, and streamline the process to make it faster, more reliable, and less labor-intensive. The entire process starts from transporting and inspecting yarn cones, moving on to forming them into pallets, conditioning them and subsequently stacking them into the intralogistics facility. Sieger’s solution comprises several applications like loader and unloader applications, conveyors, stacker cranes, and more.

To ensure the whole process runs safely and efficiently, each application plays a critical role. Any inefficiency in one application, such as changes in conveyor speed or improper cone placement can potentially disrupt the entire process, resulting in downtime and product damage. ABB’s drives have been consistently meeting the applications’ demanding requirements.




For instance, by accurately controlling the speed of the motor based on process requirements, the drives are ensuring the accurate operation of conveyor systems and accurate synchronization of machinery for uniform handling. By using modern technology like ABB’s ACS180, ACS380, and ACS880 drives, Sieger is ensuring safe and precise movement of yarn cones across the process while utilizing energy efficiently.

Optimal solution for diversified needs
Along with automation for the textile industry, Sieger also provides fully automated multi-level parking system for malls, municipal and corporation parking, hospitals, large apartments and more across the country. For both textile material handling, and to ensure multiple vehicles are loaded and accurately transferred to designated spots, drives play a crucial role.

ABB drives control the speed of the motors that operate lifts and conveyors, adapting to varying loads and enabling smooth and precise movements, and accurate positioning. Additionally, for moving a large amount of material or multiple vehicles safely across a facility, it is essential that there is high-speed data transfer and communication between drives and the controller. In line with this, ABB drives provide built-in support for high-speed communication protocols.

For efficient material handling, ABB drives are also supporting the safe movement of Sieger’s stacker cranes. These drives are providing built-in crane control features and a range of safety functions contributing to reliable movement of stacker cranes. ABB’s regenerative drives additionally enable the optimal use of energy by returning the braking energy of the motor to the drive and distributing it to the supply network so it can be utilized by other equipment.
