Many of the operations in the dyehouse are carried out batchwise and a considerable increase in productivity is possible by using automatic control. On the simplest machines, there is a good return of capital investment in instrumentation and individual controllers. Solid‐state dye‐cycle controllers are discussed. Consideration is given to extending the controller to the dispensary and to problems of co‐ordinated control or automation of the dyehouse by means of a computer with the advantages of scheduling the work and accounting for the dyes.
