Description

Method of operating a textile machine and system for implementing said method

The invention relates to a method of operating a textile machine, in particular in the form of a combing preparation machine or a spinning machine, wherein said textile machine receives fibrous material for processing from a container, wherein the container containing At least one characteristic parameter of the fiber material in the corresponding container, and wherein said container is placed on at least one input position of the textile machine for supplying the fiber material.

DE 40 15 826 A1 discloses a method in which the production information of the fiber material contained in the can is determined by means of a storage unit on the can. The disadvantage of this is that a confusion of jars may occur in this case.

In view of this, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method with which the risk of handling wrong fiber material on a textile machine is reduced.

The solution of the invention to achieve the above objects is a method and a system for operating a spinning machine.

The invention proposes a method of operating a textile machine. The textile machine can, for example, be in the form of a drafting machine and/or a napping machine.

In the method, the weaving machine obtains fibrous material from a container for processing and/or treatment. For example, in the case of a drafting machine as a textile machine, this textile machine receives bundles of fiber material from containers (also called cans) and draws the fiber material in order to homogenize the fiber material. The fiber material can then be re-stored in dedicated containers for further processing, eg for spinning.

Furthermore, in the method at least one characteristic parameter of the fiber material contained in the respective container is determined on the basis of the container identification on the container. In this way, for example, the type, strength, fineness, color, weight, composition and/or material of the fibrous material in the container can be determined by means of the container identification. In addition or as an alternative, information about the container itself can also be determined by means of the container identification. By way of example, the container identifier and/or the characteristic parameter can include the loading position (Lagerplatz) in which the container is located. It may be sufficient to know that a container comprising a particular fibrous material is located on the corresponding carrier. However, it can also be determined from the container identification and/or characteristic parameters from which previous weaving machine the container came. This may be sufficient to determine whether the correct fiber material is in the container. Additionally, container identification and/or characteristic parameters may include container weight, container shape, and/or container dimensions. The corresponding characteristic parameters are obviously important in order to obtain the desired product at the end of the production process. Furthermore, several container identifications can be provided on the container to ensure that the container identification can always be detected.

Furthermore, in the method, the container is placed on at least one input position of the textile machine for supplying fiber material. The input location is a location on the textile machine at which fibrous material is delivered to the textile machine for processing and/or treatment.

According to the invention, at least one input bit corresponds to a bit identifier. Furthermore, the textile machine only starts processing and/or processing the corresponding container from the input position if a comparison of the characteristic parameters of the fiber material contained in the corresponding container with the bit identification shows that the container contains fiber material suitable for the input bit fiber material. This ensures that the textile machine is supplied with the correct container or the correct fiber material at the corresponding input point.

In addition or as an alternative, the textile machine can only start processing and/or process the corresponding container from the input position if the comparison of the container identification with the bit identification of the corresponding container shows that the container contains fiber material suitable for the input position. fiber material.

Thus, the textile machine only starts to process the fiber material from the container at the input position when it detects that the characteristic parameters of the fiber material in the container match the corresponding bit identifier. Thus, the textile machine only starts processing the fiber material if the correct fiber material is present on the input bit.

Overall, this ensures that the textile machine is supplied with the correct fiber material even when the containers are transported manually or when an empty container at the input point is replaced by a new full container. Human errors caused by personnel carrying out container changes or transports can thereby be avoided or detected.

In addition or as an alternative, by comparing the bit identification with the characteristic data of the fiber material and/or the container identification of the container at the corresponding input position, it is also possible to determine, for example, the correct proportion of the different types of fiber material to be fed to the textile machine . If it is necessary to process fibrous materials of two categories such as a first category A and a second category B by a textile machine, that is, to mix them with each other, then, as long as the overall ratio of the delivered fibrous material categories is correct, the two categories A or It is not important which one of B is arranged on which input bit. Thus, the bit identification can indicate that at the corresponding input bit, category A or B is the correct fiber material, since it has been found that this follows the proportion of the delivered fiber material category.

Preferably, the processed fiber material is deposited by the textile machine into containers at a processing station of the textile machine, wherein at least one characteristic parameter of the container into which the processed fiber material is deposited is determined. In this case, the characteristic parameter can be determined from the container identification on the container. The processing location can also be called a storage location, since the processed fiber material is stored in containers there. The container at the processing location or at the storage location can also be referred to as a storage container, since the processed fiber material is stored in this container. In addition, the textile machine only starts processing the containers present at the input position if the inspection of the containers (in particular the container identification) into which the processed fiber material is deposited also shows that there are containers available for storage at the processing position. in the fiber material. From the characteristic parameters of the container in the processing location, it can be determined, for example, whether the container has the correct size, the correct shape or the correct filling level. For example, the characteristic parameter can be determined by means of a sensor, that is to say, for example, whether the container has the correct size, shape or filling level, in particular whether the container is empty. For example, it is not possible to deposit fibrous material into containers of arbitrary size, since subsequent machines for further processing of the fibrous material in the containers can only accept containers of a certain size. As previously mentioned, the characteristic parameter can also be determined from the container identification of the container into which the fibrous material is stored.

Preferably, each container has a container identification in order to determine a characteristic parameter of the fiber material contained in the container and/or a characteristic parameter of the container. In this case, the characteristic parameter can also reflect that the container does not contain fibrous material, which is advantageous when storing the fibrous material in the container.

Also, the container ID can vary from container to container. Therefore, container identities can be constructed in different ways. For example, a barcode may be provided on some containers and an RFID chip may be provided on other containers. But container identities can of course also be built in the same way.

Furthermore, if a container, which can also be referred to as an input container, is provided on at least one input position of the textile machine, and a container for depositing the fiber material is provided at the processing position, the two containers can each have identically constructed The container identification, that is, for example, both container identifications are RFID chips. Alternatively, the two container identifiers can of course also be different. Furthermore, no container markings can be provided on the containers at the processing station, since it can be determined by means of sensors whether the containers there are empty or have the correct size or shape.

(In the case of a container with a container identification) The container identification on the container may in principle be of any shape or type, since a large number of containers are used in the work of a textile machine, especially a plurality of textile machines, which are constantly in circulation and can be applied in different locations. Therefore, it is quite possible to use containers from other looms whose container identification has another shape or type. Additionally, containers may have been purchased at different points in time, so container identification may differ depending on the model of container. However, different types of container markings can also be detected by means of the reading device described below.

Preferably, the bit identification is detected by means of a mobile reading device. Additionally or alternatively, the container identification is detected by means of the mobile reading device. The mobile reading device can be, for example, a hand-held scanner, which assists personnel in recording the container identification and/or bit identification. With the aid of the mobile reading device, the characteristic parameters of the fibrous material arranged in the container can be identified via the container identification. By additionally detecting the bit identification, a comparison with the characteristic parameter can be carried out.

Additionally or alternatively, the container identification is preferably detected by means of a bit reading device assigned to the input bit. Wherein, the bit reading device can be arranged in the area of the input bit. The bit reading device can be a reading device arranged and/or installed on the textile machine, by means of which the container identification is detected when a container is arranged on the input bit. Furthermore, the bit reading device can be arranged stationary on the textile machine.

In addition or as an alternative, the container identification can also be detected by means of a machine-reading device. The machine reading device is arranged, for example, at a point on the textile machine where the processed and/or treated fiber material is deposited into containers. In addition or as an alternative, the machine reading device can also be arranged at the point where the container filled with processed and/or treated fiber material leaves the textile machine. By way of example, the machine reading device is arranged in the area of the output of the textile machine. For example, it can be detected by means of the machine reading device which fiber material or which fiber material with specific characteristic parameters is contained in which container with the corresponding container identification.

Preferably, the comparison between the characteristic parameter and the bit identifier is implemented by a superordinate control system. Additionally or alternatively, the comparison can also be carried out by the mobile reader. Additionally or alternatively, the comparison can also be carried out by the bit reading device. Furthermore, the container identifier and the corresponding characteristic parameters and/or the bit identifier can be stored in the superordinate control system, in the mobile reader and/or in the bit reader. Furthermore, the characteristic parameters of the fiber material in the container and the detected bit identification are compared with the stored information. For example, in this case it is determined whether, based on a comparison of the characteristic parameters of the fiber material in the container with the bit identifier, it is permitted to start processing and/or treating the fiber material by the textile machine. In addition or as an alternative, the higher-level control system can also transmit the characteristic parameters and the bit identification of the fiber material in the container to the mobile reading device, the bit reading device and/or the textile machine. In this case, the mobile reading device, the bit reading device and/or the textile machine check whether the characteristic parameters of the fiber material match the bit identifiers and trigger processing and/or processing of the fiber material accordingly.

In addition or as an alternative, it is also possible, when a container filled with processed and/or treated fiber material leaves the textile machine, to identify the corresponding container and the processed and/or treated fibers contained in the container The characteristic parameters of the material are transmitted to the superordinate control system. From this point in time, therefore, it is stored in the superordinated control system which processed and/or treated fiber material is contained in which container with the corresponding container identification, or which characteristic parameters this fiber material has.

Preferably, the bit identifiers are used to identify the characteristic parameters that the fiber material at the corresponding input bit needs to have for processing and/or processing. In this case, this identification can be carried out by the control system, by the mobile reader and/or by the bit reader. Based on the bit identification, it can be determined, for example, that cotton or synthetic fibers are set as the fiber material for processing and/or treatment at the input position. Cotton or synthetic fibers are examples of characteristic parameters of fiber materials here.

Preferably, the bit identification is used to determine and/or identify which fiber material needs to be conveyed on the input bit for processing and/or treatment. For this purpose, the correspondence between the bit identification and the fiber material can be stored in the mobile reading device and/or the bit reading device.

Preferably, the textile machine obtains an instruction to start processing and/or treating the fiber material. Wherein, the indication may come from the control system. For example, the superordinated control system can compare the characteristic parameters of the fiber material with the bit identification and transmit the indication accordingly. In addition or as an alternative, however, the indication can also come from the mobile reader. In this case, the mobile reading device compares the characteristic parameter with the bit identifier and transmits a corresponding indication. Additionally or alternatively, the indication can also come from the bit reading device. In this case, the bit reading device compares the characteristic parameter with the bit identification. Furthermore, it is also clear that the instruction can cause the textile machine not to start processing and/or processing. In this situation, the textile machine prevents, interrupts and/or stops the processing of the fiber material.

Preferably, the mobile reading device, the bit reading device, the textile machine, the machine reading device and/or the control system are wirelessly connected, in particular by means of WLAN, Bluetooth and/or Zigbee communicate with each other. Thereby, the units can communicate with each other in a simple manner. Additionally or alternatively, the mobile reading device, the bit reading device, the textile machine, the machine reading device and/or the control system can also be connected by means of a cable connection. For example, the superordinate control system and the textile machine and/or the textile machine and the bit reading device and/or the machine reading device arranged on the textile machine can be connected by means of a cable connection.

Preferably, the textile machine has at least one signaling element for signaling the result of the comparison of the characteristic parameter with the bit identification. Wherein, it can be notified whether it is judged in the comparison that the characteristic parameter matches the bit identifier, or whether the characteristic parameter does not match the bit identifier. Furthermore, the at least one signaling element can be arranged in the region of the at least one input bit, so that whether the correct fiber material is present is signaled directly at the corresponding input bit. In the case of several input bits, each input bit may also correspond to a signal element. Furthermore, the at least one signaling element can be designed to output optical and/or acoustic signals.

Preferably, during storage of the processed and/or treated fiber material and/or after storage, the container identification of the container stored and/or with which the fiber material is stored is detected. It is thereby detected which fiber material with which characteristic parameter is (already) deposited into which container with which container identification. Furthermore, the container identification can be stored together with the characteristic parameters of the fiber material contained in the container in the superordinate control system and/or in the mobile reader and/or in the bit reader. For this purpose, the container identification can be transmitted to a superordinated control system together with the characteristic parameters of the fiber material stored in the container. Additionally or alternatively, the container identification can also be transmitted to the mobile reading device together with the characteristic parameters of the fiber material stored in the container and preferably stored there.

Preferably, the textile machine has at least one treatment station, on which at least one container is arranged, in which the treated fiber material is stored. In addition or as an alternative, the textile machine preferably has at least one output point at which containers containing the processed fiber material are provided for withdrawal. Additionally or alternatively, the textile machine preferably has at least one waiting position, at which empty containers are provided for storing the processed fiber material.

Preferably, the container identification of the container containing processed and/or treated fiber material is detected by means of the mobile reading device and/or the machine reading device. In addition or as an alternative, it is also possible by means of the mobile reading device and/or the machine reading device to detect a container identification for a container (ie a still empty container) of processed and/or treated fiber material . This can be done at the processing station and/or at the output station for containers containing processed and/or treated fiber material and/or at the waiting station for containers that are still empty. It is thereby also detected which processed and/or treated fiber material is in which container and/or which processed and/or treated fiber material can also be stored in which container.

The invention also proposes a system for carrying out a method, wherein said system is adapted to carry out said method according to at least one method step described above and/or below.

The system comprises a weaving machine or the weaving machine for processing fibrous material from a container. Therein, the textile machine comprises at least one of the features mentioned above and/or in the following description. Furthermore, the textile machine is operable according to at least one method step described above and/or below.

The system further comprises a mobile reading device and/or a bit reading device for detecting the container identification on the container containing the fibrous material and/or the bit identification on the weaving machine. In this way, characteristic parameters of the fibrous material in the container can be determined. Additionally or alternatively, the system may comprise a machine reading device for detecting the container identification on the container into which the treated fibrous material is deposited.

Preferably, the system includes a superior control system for determining characteristic parameters of the fiber material located in the corresponding container according to the container identification. In addition or as an alternative, the higher-level control system can also determine the fiber material set for processing and/or treatment at the corresponding input position on the basis of the bit identification.

In this case, the comparison of the characteristic variable with the bit identification can be carried out by the mobile reading device, the bit reading device and/or by a superordinated control system. If the comparison shows that the container contains the fiber material set at the input position, the mobile reading device, the bit reading device and/or the superordinate control system can initiate or start the processing of the fiber material by the textile machine and/or or process. For this purpose, the mobile reading device, the bit reading device and/or the superordinated control system are designed to be able to bring about the starting or starting of the textile machine in order to process and/or treat the fiber material.

Preferably, said container identification and/or said bit identification is an optically readable code. These can be, for example, barcodes, color codes, text codes and/or QR codes. This makes it possible to determine the container identity and the corresponding characteristic parameters in a simple manner. Likewise, the bit identification can be recognized in a simple manner and a comparison with characteristic parameters can be carried out.

Preferably, the container identification and/or the bit identification are stored in at least one electronic unit on the container and/or on the textile machine. The container identifier, the characteristic parameter and/or the bit identifier can be stored, for example, in the electronics unit. The electronic unit can be, for example, a radio tag and/or an RFID chip and/or an NFC chip. Accordingly, the at least one electronic unit is arranged on the container and/or in the region of the at least one input bit, in which the container identification, the characteristic parameter and/or the bit logo.

Preferably, the system comprises a radio network interconnecting the textile machine, the mobile reading device, the machine reading device, the bit reading device and/or the superordinate control system .

Preferably, the system includes a management unit that manages the container identification, the characteristic parameters of the fiber material in the corresponding container and/or the bit identification.

Preferably, the textile machine has several input positions, at least one processing position, at least one output position and/or at least one waiting position. The processed fibrous material is deposited at the processing station, full containers are provided for picking at the output station, and empty containers are provided for filling at the waiting station.

Further advantages of the invention are found in the following description of the embodiments. in:

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a textile machine 1 with several containers 3 in which fibrous material 2 is arranged for processing and/or treatment by the textile machine 1 . For the sake of clarity, only one container 3 is indicated with reference numerals. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, only the fiber material 2 is indicated with reference numerals in this container 3 . The textile machine 1 shown here is exemplarily in the form of a drafting machine, wherein in addition or as an alternative, the textile machine 1 can also be in the form of a combing preparation machine, a spinning machine or another textile machine 1 . The fiber material 2 arranged in the container 3 is processed and/or treated by means of the textile machine 1 , wherein the textile machine 1 obtains the fiber material 2 in the container 3 . It is obviously very important in this case that the correct fiber material 2 is delivered to the spinning machine 1 . If the textile machine 1 is eg arranged to process and/or handle cotton (rather than eg synthetic fibres), the cotton also needs to be conveyed to the textile machine 1 . Therefore, cotton must also be present in at least one container3. Furthermore, in an exemplary scenario, different types of cotton can also be fed to the weaving machine 1 , for example in order to form a special mixture of different cotton types. In this case it is also important to deliver the correct fiber material to the textile machine 1 .

If it is desired to process a mixture of different types of fiber materials 2 by means of the textile machine 1 , it is also very important that the different types of fiber materials 2 are fed to the textile machine 1 in the correct proportion. In this case, it may not matter which category of fiber material 2 is input at which input position 5 , as long as the proportion of fiber material 2 delivered is correct. From this, it can be determined, for example, that class A or class B is the correct fiber material 2 at an input position 5 , since the correct proportion of fiber material 2 can always be achieved thereby. For example, only containers 3 containing fiber materials 2 of class B can be placed on the remaining input points 5 after a maximum proportion of fiber material 2 of class A is present at the input points 5 .

Furthermore, the textile machine 1 has at least one input point 5 , on which containers 3 are placed for feeding fiber material 2 . According to the present exemplary embodiment, the textile machine 1 has several input bits 5 , of which only one input bit 5 is indicated with a reference numeral for the sake of simplicity. Furthermore, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, a container 3 is provided at each input location 5 or at the at least one input location 5 . The fiber material 2 or the container 3 is thereby conveyed to the textile machine 1 at the at least one input point 5 . In this case, the same fiber material 2 can be fed to each input position 5 . However, if it is desired to produce a mixture of different fiber materials 2 , the mutually different fiber materials 2 can also be fed to the textile machine 1 at different input points 5 . In this case, however, it is equally necessary to ensure that the correct fiber material 2 is delivered on the input bit 5 , even if the fiber materials are different.

As shown here, the textile machine 1 is a drafting machine, which processes and/or processes at least one textile tow 7 by means of a drafting device 8 into a drafted fiber material 9 . The drawn fiber material 9 is shown here as a thinner thread than the as yet unprocessed and/or untreated fiber material 2 . In the drafting machine, the textile tow 7 is guided from the at least one container 3 to a drafting device 8, where it is subsequently drafted. In this case, the containers 3 can be transported to the at least one input point 5 by persons not shown here. In this case, of course it always happens that a container 3 containing the wrong fiber material 2 is placed onto the input bit 5 , for example by inadvertence. In addition, there may be cases where the fiber material 2 contained in the container 3 cannot be recognized from the outside or from the appearance of the fiber material 2 . Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the correct fiber material 2 is processed, eg in order to comply with quality regulations.

For this purpose, characteristic parameters of the fibrous material 2 contained in the container 3 are determined on the basis of the container identification 4 on the container 3 . In this case, the container identification 4 is arranged on the outer side 11 of the container 3 so that this container identification is easily accessible. The container identification 4 can comprise, for example, an in particular optically readable code, from which characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 contained in the container 3 can be determined. Furthermore, for example, an optical detection of the container marking 4 is possible. The container identification 4 can be, for example, a color code, a text code, a bar code and/or a QR code. In addition or as an alternative, the container identification 4 can also include an electronic code, an electronic device and/or an electronic label. The container identification 4 may for example comprise an RFID chip or the like.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, the container identification 4 is detected by means of a mobile reading device 10 . This mobile reading device 10 is for example able to detect optical codes, such as barcodes or QR codes, and/or to detect electronic codes. The mobile reading device 10 is for example capable of reading electronic units such as RFID chips of the container identification 4 .

Furthermore, the bit identifier 6 corresponding to the input bit 5 is detected. The textile machine 1 starts processing and/or processing the fiber material 2 from the container 3 at the input point 5 only if a comparison of the characteristic parameter with the bit identifier 6 shows that the container 3 contains fiber material 2 suitable for the input point 5 . This ensures that the correct fiber material 2 is provided at the dedicated input point 5 for processing and/or handling. If the comparison of the characteristic parameter with the bit identification 6 reveals that the container 3 contains the wrong fiber material 2 for the input bit 5 , the processing and/or treatment of the fiber material 2 is not started.

The bit identification 6 can also comprise an in particular optically readable code, such as a QR code and/or a barcode, and/or an electronic code, for example in the form of an RFID chip. Furthermore, the container identification 4 and the bit identification 6 can adopt the same construction scheme as each other, so that the same mobile reading device 10 can be used to detect the container identification 4 and the bit identification 6 .

In order to be able to detect the container identification 4 , this container identification is preferably detected by means of the mobile reading device 10 . The mobile reading device 10 can be, for example, a palm scanner or an "industrial smart watch", which has the advantage that both hands are free for handling and transport tasks. In addition or as an alternative, smart glasses or so-called head-mounted displays can also be used as mobile reading devices 10 , which also free up the hands of the person. Smartphones and tablets can also be used, especially if additional visualization is required, eg for troubleshooting or maintenance.

In particular optically readable codes or codes, such as QR codes or barcodes, can be detected by means of the mobile reading device 10 , whereby characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 contained in the container 3 can be determined. In addition or as an alternative, the electronic unit of the container identification 4 , for example an RFID chip, can also be read by means of the mobile reading device 10 in order to determine characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 . The mobile reader 10 can also detect the bit identifier 6 in the same way. Preferably, the mobile reading device 10 can comprise output means, not shown here, for informing a person of the characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 in the container 3 . The mobile reading device 10 may for example comprise a display unit, such as a monitor. Various documents can of course be displayed by means of the mobile reader 10 . After a person has detected the bit identifier 6 , the person can also be informed by means of the mobile reader 10 which fiber material 2 is to be provided at the corresponding input bit 5 for processing and/or processing.

Additionally or alternatively, the bit identification 6 can also be detected by means of the mobile reader 10 . The mobile reader 10 is able to determine which fiber material 2 is required for processing at the corresponding input bit 5 . If the characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 determined by means of the container identification 4 in the container 3 match the bit identification 6 on the input bit 5 , the textile machine 1 can start processing and/or processing. If the characteristic parameter of the fiber material 2 does not match the bit identifier 6, the textile machine 1 prevents and/or interrupts the processing.

Preferably, the mobile reading device 10 is able to transmit detected container identifiers 4 and/or detected bit identifiers 6 to a superordinated control system 12 . The control system 12 can store the container identification 4 and the associated characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 , based on which the characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 in the corresponding container 3 can be determined. In addition or as an alternative, bit identifiers 6 can also be stored in the control system 12, from which it can be determined which fiber material 2 is required at the input bit 5 and/or what fiber material 2 at the input bit 5 needs to have. A characteristic parameter. In this way, the required characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 at the input point 5 can also be determined.

The higher-level control system 12 can include, for example, a management unit 13 in which data for the container identifier 4 and the corresponding characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 and/or data for the bit identifier 6 are stored.

The mobile reading device 10 and/or the superordinate control system 12 can transmit to the textile machine 1 a notification and/or an indication that the characteristic parameters of the fiber material 2 in the container 3 match the bit identifier 6, so that the textile machine 1 can start processing and/or processing. Additionally or alternatively, the instructions and/or notifications can also contain inconsistencies, so that the textile machine 1 prevents, interrupts and/or stops processing and/or processing.

According to the exemplary embodiment shown here, the textile machine 1 comprises a machine controller 14 which receives, evaluates corresponding indications and/or notifications about a match or a mismatch and/or controls the textile machine 1 accordingly.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, the mobile reading device 10 , the textile machine 1 and/or the higher-level control system 12 can be connected by means of a radio network 15 . The radio network 15 is shown schematically here by an arrow and can be based, for example, on WLAN, Bluetooth and/or Zigbee. In addition or as an alternative, the mobile reading device 10 , the textile machine 1 and/or the higher-level control system 12 can also be connected by means of a cable connection (not shown here).

Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, a bit reading device 20 is provided in the region of the input bit 5 , by means of which the container of the container 3 at the corresponding input bit 5 is detected. logo4. Thus, bit reading device 20 may correspond to input bit 5 . The bit reading device 20 is a stationary reading device by means of which the container identification 4 is detected when the container 3 is arranged on the corresponding input bit 5 . Preferably, the at least one bit reading device 20 is likewise integrated into the radio network 15 , for example in order to communicate with the control system 12 , with the mobile reading device 10 and/or with the machine controller 14 . Additionally or alternatively, the bit reading device 20 can also have a cable connection to the control system 12 , to the mobile reading device 10 and/or to the machine controller 14 .

Furthermore, the textile machine 1 shown here comprises a treatment station 17 in which a container 3 is arranged in which the treated fiber material 2 is stored.

Furthermore, the textile machine 1 shown here can have an output point 18 in which containers 3 filled with processed fiber material 2 are provided for collection.

Furthermore, the textile machine 1 shown here can have a waiting position 19 in which empty containers 3 are provided for filling with treated fiber material 2 . Wait bit 19 can also be a reserve bit.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, the textile machine 1 has a machine reading device 21 for detecting the container identification 4 on the container 3 located in the processing station 17 . The machine reading device 21 is therefore preferably arranged in the area of the processing bit 17 . In addition or as an alternative, a machine reading device 21 (not shown here) can also be provided in the area of the output bit 18 and/or in the area of the waiting bit 19 in order to detect 18 and/or the container identification 4 of the container 3 on the waiting position 19. The machine reader 21 can also be integrated in the radio network 15 . The container identifier 4 on the container 3 in which the freshly processed and/or treated fiber material 2 is deposited and/or stored can be identified by means of the machine reading device 21 . In addition or as an alternative, the container identification 4 on the container 3 suitable for the treated fiber material 2 (where the container 3 is thus still empty) can also be identified.

Furthermore, the textile machine 1 according to the exemplary embodiment has at least one signal element 22 for outputting the result of the comparison between the characteristic parameter and the bit identifier 6 .
