Optimising the original investment
Over the life cycle of a spinning system, the machines
encounter several phases. As shown in figure 1, the
equipment reaches its initial full potential at commis-
sioning (according to order); afterwards, performance
typically slowly diminishes over time based on wear and
tear of its components.
