Functions and capabilities of computer aided production control in weaving plants is discussed. The basic computer system is broken into parts and presented according to its function, which includes data acquisition, transmission, and storage. Production control units can also be used for production planning. The advantages of computerized production control are an improvement in company organization, a better use of production capacities, better productivity, and improved quality. Future developments might lead to integration of the production control system with a computer aided design system to completely computerize the weaving process.
