ETON

 The Eton system for

apparel industries is a
flexible material handling
system designed to
eliminate manual
transportation and
minimise handling
 It increases productivity
radically, ensures an
optimal working flow
and provides time for
adding value to your
products.
 WHY IS ETON USEFUL

 Technically the system consists of overhead

conveyors with individually addressable product
carriers, automatically finding its way to the correct
operation.
 It is monitored by a computer providing all
necessary data for measuring and managing the
process optimally.
 Furthermore, the system is highly flexible and can
rapidly be modified to changes in the production
line or the need for expansion.
HOW DOES IT WORK
 All the pieces are loaded in a product carrier.
 The product carrier with the pieces will be routed through the
different operation steps by the use of belts and pulley drive .
 At every machine/operation the Eton chain will position the
product ideally.
 The production flow is controlled by a software program. For
every new order the correct article is automatically routed to
the predetermined work station.
 The system consists of modules, which are assembled to suit
the customer’s need.
 Up on completion the product arrives to an unloading station.
The empty product carrier returns to the loading station.

FINAL PRODUCT OBTAINED
USE OF PULLEY DRIVE
 Pulley drives are known as
flexible machine elements .
The function of pulley drive
is to absorb significant
amount of shock and
vibration .
 The primary function of all
pulley drives is to
transmission of power from
a source to a variety of
devices .
 They are also used for
conveying works.
 EFFICIENCY
 Due to less need for manual
handling, improved lead
times, improved ergonomics
and substantially shorter
though-put time,
improvement in efficiency
varies between 30-100%.
 This makes Eton systems one
of the most valuable
investments for global
enterprises.
FLEXIBILITY
 One size never really fits all and one solution
does not fit all situations.
 But the Eton system is a totally flexible modular
system. This makes it easy to change, expand
and adapt to different kind of buildings and
manufacturing processes.
 Adding additional workstations and/or buffer
zones, is easy.
 The flexibility makes it ideal for step by step
implementation today or for companies that
want to be prepared for rapid expansion
tomorrow.
METHODS/ ERGONOMICS
 The Eton Systems handling methods are
based on ergonomics, which is a key
element in the design of the Eton system.
 Pain and injuries to shoulders, back and
neck are common in this industry.

 All the tiring reaching, bending, lifting and

pulling of bundles and work-in-process is
completely eliminated. As a result, operators
experience less fatigue, fewer injuries, and
less absenteeism.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM
 The operator can handle more than one task, and
the system is very flexible and permits better line
balancing.
 It allows more team work spirit, which creates a
healthier working environment and improves
quality.
 Since the system is more quick to respond to
changes in fashion, this helps to develop fashion
garments capability.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM
 Multi skilled experienced labour is needed and
Success of the system needs high co-operation of
team
