Silk Reeling Logbook

Keep lot-by-lot reeling records with machine conditions, water temperature, water quality notes, thread breaks, operators, and yield.

From dry cocoon storage and boiling to reeling, re-reeling, water management, and machine maintenance, keep the process conditions attached to the lot so you can trace the cause later.

Before you record

  • Keep one lot ID for one batch so later comparisons stay clean.
  • Record the real stage, operator, and machine. The app does not guess them for you.
  • Use the water quality tag as a quick label, then add the detail in the note if it matters.
  • When you compare lots across sites, keep the stage names and unit conventions aligned.

How to use

  1. Add or select a lot, then confirm the lot ID, name, status, and cocoon lot ID.
  2. Choose a stage and enter the time, operator, machine, water, yield, and thread break fields.
  3. Save the entry, then review the timeline and summary to spot the conditions behind the result.
  4. Export JSON or CSV when you want to analyze the record elsewhere.

Examples

Boiling to reeling snapshot

Input

LOT-2026-03-26-A / stage: reeling / 08:00-08:35 / operator: Amina / machine: R-03 / water: 92 °C / water quality: slightly hard / raw cocoon: 24 kg / reeled silk: 4.8 kg / thread breaks: 9

Output

The summary shows a 20.0% yield, a 15.4 / h break rate, and the latest water quality tag in one view.

Switch units after saving

Input

Save one entry while mass is kg and volume is L, then switch mass to lb and volume to gal.

Output

The old entry still converts correctly because the unit context is stored with the entry.

Maintenance follow-up

Input

Record a machine maintenance entry with guide cleaning and belt retensioning, but no yield field.

Output

The timeline still keeps the maintenance note and stage, and the entry is saved as long as one meaningful value exists.

FAQ

Can I change units after I save an entry?

Yes. Each saved entry keeps the unit context it was entered with, so later display changes do not reinterpret the old numbers.

Do I have to enter raw cocoon and reeled silk every time?

No. Yield becomes more useful when both are present, but a stage, note, or water-quality tag can still make the entry meaningful.

Is the manual yield field required?

No. The app can calculate yield from raw cocoon and reeled silk, and the manual field is there when you want to keep the operator's recorded value.

Where does the data go?

It stays in the browser unless you export JSON or CSV.

Can I use this across regions?

Yes. The UI is multilingual, the unit labels follow the settings, and the stage labels can be translated per language.

Glossary

Lot

A batch or group of reeling work that you want to trace together.

Reeling batch

The set of reeling operations tied to one lot.

Thread break

A break in the silk thread during reeling.

Water quality tag

A quick label for the water condition, such as filtered or slightly hard.

Unit context

The measurement unit saved with each entry so later display changes stay safe.

Yield

The ratio of reeled silk to raw cocoon, shown as a percentage.

Machine condition

Tension, vibration, cleaning, and other machine-state notes for the lot.

Timeline

The ordered list of saved entries for one lot.

Formulas

  • Calculated yield (%) = reeled silk ÷ raw cocoon × 100
  • Break rate (/h) = thread breaks ÷ duration (h)
  • Duration (h) = end time - start time
  • Display conversion = entered value converted with the unit saved on that entry

Notes

  • This is a record and review tool, not an automatic quality judgment.
  • Water quality tags are quick field labels, not laboratory results.
  • Keep stage names and unit conventions consistent when you compare lots across sites or languages.
  • Use exported CSV or JSON for spreadsheet analysis or handoff to another system.
