Projects and solutions for the sector
Revamp Textile machine
The high-end technology embedded in Altus products and software was used as the centerpiece in the control and automation system revamp for a major Brazilian textile manufacturer.
Control System Modernization
A leading Brazilian company in the national textile market turned to Altus for the ideal solution to maintain the operational stability of its yarn and fabric finishing unit.
Our solutions for this industry
Uniform production with a high scale of customization
The technology embedded in Nexto Series programmable controllers enables full control over the main production processes of a textile industry. By using our PLCs, you add precision to speed, tension, and weaving patterns, resulting in high-quality fabrics and uniformity. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces material and time waste.
Furthermore, the use of Nexto PLCs in your applications facilitates rapid adaptation to changes in fabric patterns or designs, ensuring flexibility and agility in production. This is especially important in a market where the demand for variety and customization is constantly evolving.
The automation provided by our controllers also contributes to the reduction of human error, increasing the precision and consistency of final products. This results in a decrease in rework costs and an overall improvement in the quality of the fabrics produced.
Embedded communication for variable control
With onboard inputs and outputs directly on the controller, XP Series products can be used in various textile industry processes. The PLCs in this family have the capacity to precisely control temperature, pressure, and process time, ensuring adjusted colors and patterns in fabrics. This not only elevates product quality but also reduces raw material waste and production time.
The features available in the XP Series allow you to operate in the most complex processes found in the industry, such as control of boilers, scrapers, mercerizers, spinning, knitting, weaving, sanforizers, extraction washers, finishing, garment manufacturing, among others.
Rigorous monitoring of final product quality
Nexto Series programmable controllers can also operate in monitoring and controlling quality parameters, such as fabric strength, thickness, and uniformity, ensuring high-quality and consistent final products. The processing capacity of NX PLCs allows for the use of advanced applications with complex scripts to control these parameters, resulting in fabrics that meet the highest quality standards.
The NX3005, NX3008, and XP340 models also feature WebServer support, a system for creating supervision and monitoring screens without the need for SCADA software. Embedded in the PLC’s memory, the tool can be accessed via a web browser from any device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) connected to the network.

Advanced technology for predictive maintenance
With processes that require high availability and continuous operation, the textile industry demands investment in resources that allow for efficient predictive maintenance. By using NX Series programmable controllers, you gain the ability to integrate machine and equipment monitoring systems to predict failures and schedule interventions before unplanned shutdowns occur.
By using high-performance PLCs with the capacity to analyze data in real-time, such as the products in the NX Series, you can accurately predict a machine’s maintenance needs, avoiding unscheduled downtime and reducing emergency repair costs. Furthermore, predictive maintenance extends the lifespan of plant equipment, increasing worker safety and contributing to production efficiency.
