Objective:
The goal of this project is to study the integration of the fabric formation and coloration processes, with a view to establish a viable approach to combining the two. Such a development would dramatically reduce overall fabric handling, and in turn, improve the productivity of fabric formation and textile wet processing. This anticipated reduction in handling should enhance agile manufacturing capabilities and provide the domestic textile market with an advantage in the industry.
