About Your Book:

Please provide a technical description of the project (at least 3 paragraphs) and what this book
is about. (Aim and scope.)
Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating
equipment such as machinery, processes in textile industries. Automation refers as “the creation
and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and
services. A control and instrumentation knowledge is essential for Textile and Electrical
Engineers to work in various sectors in textile manufacturing industries. They are responsible for
designing, developing, installing, managing and/or maintaining equipment which is used to
monitor and control engineering systems, machinery and processes. Automation in Textile
Machinery – Design Principle of Instrumentation and Control Systems – this book mainly deals
about comprehensive analysis of the current trends and technologies in automation and control
systems used in textile engineering. Instrumentation is the use of measuring instruments to
monitor and control a process. It is the art and science of measurement and control of process
variables within a production, laboratory, or manufacturing area. The control systems descript in
all chapters was to dissect the important components of an integrated control system in spinning,
weaving, knitting, chemical processing and garment industries and then to determine if and how
the components are converging to provide manageable and reliable systems throughout the chain
from fibre to the ultimate customer. Although the implementation of advanced process control
strategies is not foreseen in immediate future, it is apparent that the textile industry is slowly
moving towards modular machines and systems. The dedicated systems still prevalent today are
gradually being replaced by standard units, distributed automation concepts and an increasing
connectivity of the production floor with planning and scheduling systems.

 We hope that it will provide to guideline to Engineers, Researchers, Scientists and
Industrialists as well as Students of various disciplines such as EEE, ECE, Robotics,
Instrumentation & Control Engineering and Textile Engineering a useful source of information
in Automation, Instrumentation and Control systems Textile Machinery.

Please describe in layman’s terms exactly what the book does for the reader.
Automation of textile machinery including spinning, weaving, knitting and apparel machineries. Describes
about the instrumentation and control systems in electronic items.

Please include one or two “everyday examples” of how this area is used in our society today.
This is very useful for our sales representatives.
Control system in electrical and electronic parts in the textile machinery is need of necessary basic knowledge
both electrical and textile engineers in production as well as quality control of textile materials.

Please provide a one line sales handle for your book – this will sum up your book in one

250-300

Single-spaced
Double-spaced

Appro 150 to 180

We request that SI Units – International System of Units be used as well as US throughout to

appeal to our global audience.
Please confirm you can or cannot do this?
Yes
No
If No, please explain: -

ACCEPTABLE SOFTWARE FOR TEXT, TABLES, AND EQUATIONS FOR DISC BOOKS:
Text: Microsoft Word is the only acceptable format for text. Manuscripts written in other word
processors that are converted to Word may have corruption issues so this method is not
recommended. WordPerfect software is not acceptable software for text.
Equations: They should be created using the inherent equation editor within Microsoft Word
(versions 2010 and newer). Note that versions of Microsoft Word prior to 2010 utilize

7|Page
 MathType as the equation editor which is no longer the preferred due to limited support and
technical issues that may result.

REGARDING MICROSOFT PROGRAMS: Microsoft programs are not suitable for figure creation.
Please do not create your artwork within (or import your artwork into) Microsoft programs such as
Word, PowerPoint or Excel as this can result in low resolution, poor quality images and may result in
additional costs necessary to improve these to the optimum quality for printing. The native 1 st
generation files will always provide the best quality. Importing artwork from the native application
into Microsoft automatically makes that image a 2nd generation piece, decreasing the quality.
During the production process, the Microsoft embedded images will then need to be exported into a
graphics program for processing. By default, Microsoft exports these embedded files as low
resolution images.

After referring to the table above, please tell us what program you will be using to prepare your
artwork?
.tif

How many tables, figures, and equations will be included?

Number of Tables: 80
Number of Figures: 150 to 180
Number of Equations: 20

What do you feel is an appropriate price for your book?

$200-250

Readers in what specific countries will have an interest in your book, and why?
Global needs in Engineering discipline

Do you know of any bulk sale opportunities, through corporations or organizations for which
you have consulted that would be interested in your book?
Yes

Sales and Marketing:
