Umesh Patel discusses the benefits of a Real Time Process Data (R.T.P.D.) system for textile process units. An R.T.P.D. system collects operation and energy data from main process machines and analyzes it to determine production, efficiency, utilization, and cost per kilogram. This allows processors and engineers to optimize operations and utility usage. While an R.T.P.D. system can help reduce manufacturing costs while maintaining quality, its benefits are limited by the initial connection costs, incomplete data collection, lack of flow meters, and irregular analysis.
