Rapid industrializated economy in Vietnam also transforms the textile industry. However, this transformation adds extra challenges: shortage of access to qualified workforce. Increasing competition and the attractiveness of alternative sectors make it increasingly difficult for spinning mills to find skilled operators.
Tra Ly Hung Yen, one of Vietnam's leading yarn producers, turned to technology to overcome this crisis. The company chose Trützschler as its solution partner to ensure sustainable quality and increase production efficiency.
From Operator Dependency to the Power of Automation
Traditional spinning mill operations require experienced personnel. However, attracting and retaining operators has become increasingly difficult, and production quality is at risk, particularly in the face of raw material fluctuations. This has become a major headache for manufacturers operating in quality-driven markets like Vietnam.
Tra Ly produces cotton-based compact and ring yarns between Ne 20 to 40. Exporting to the Asian market with a daily production capacity of 60 tons, the company has minimized its dependence on human resources with Trützschler's high-tech automation solutions.
Smart Production Powered by Trützschler Technologies
T-SCAN TS-T5: Smart Foreign Part Separation
This system detects and automatically ejects foreign parts such as leaves, stems and plastic using sensors and image processing technologies. Moreover, this process keeps fiber loss to a minimum. Extremely easy to use and maintain, the TS-T5 allows cleaning even when production is running.
TC 19i Card: Real-Time Gap Optimization with T-GO
Featuring the world's first and only automatic gap optimizer system, the TC 19i automatically sets the optimal scanning range, even under fluctuating raw material conditions. This system ensures consistent quality and flexibility while significantly reducing the need for human intervention.
Autoleveller Draw Frame TD-10: Smart Drawing Setting
Thanks to OPTI SET and automatic drafting functions, the machine automatically adjusts the breaking draft, ensuring ideal yarn quality even with different raw materials. This structure optimizes parameters without requiring operator intervention, compensating for operator needs.
TCO 21XL Comber: Boosting Productivity 50%
Compared to standard eight-head systems, this 12-head model can increase production by up to 50%. Additionally, the COUNT MONITORING system continuously monitors sliver lengths while ensuring consistent quality.
Local Support and Digital Control Advantage
Thanks to Trützschler’s local team of technical experts and spare parts inventory and repair facilities in Vietnam, Tra Ly's operational continuity is ensured. Local technical experts provides fast responses to problems, while the digital monitoring system My Mill enables remote monitoring of production processes and digital analysis of performance.
With this system, Trützschler experts can provide Tra Ly with on-site guidance, training, and troubleshooting support without having to travel to the site. Mill Manager Do Thi Lan Phuong summarizes this collaboration as follows;
“Innovations from Trützschler offer efficient handling that frees up time for our employees. In this way, we are able to cope with labor shortages. These machines enable higher productivity, improved sliver evenness and more energy-efficient manufacturing. And working together with Trützschler is always a great experience because of their deep expertise, can-do attitude and positive energy.”
The Transition from Human Resources to Digitalization
Tra Ly Hung Yen's collaboration with Trützschler is not just a machinery investment; it's also a major step for strategic transformation. At a time when labor shortages are growing and quality expectations are rising, digitalization and automation are becoming essential for the future of the Vietnamese textile industry.
Tra Ly's experience can inspire other manufacturers in the region: Investing in today's technology is essential to adapt to the future.
