This data comes in the form of online data, which is real-time data created by the processing machinery, and offline data, which is created via laboratory testing of samples. This paper describes a study which applied statistical techniques to the two data sets. One came from an actual open-end spinning plant. The other was created in a laboratory environment. This analysis served to discover trends within this data sample and to determine the optimal data use for the cotton spinning industry. In addition, the paper presents a perspective into the current state of data management in the cotton spinning industry obtained by visiting an assortment of active spinning mills.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Hamilton, B.
