New automation concepts for the transport of textile products in the field of continuous fibres start appearing.

The idea of automatic doffing and transport of cops produced by draw-twisters is developed, leading to the installation of the automation system in the Snia Viscosa plant in Villacidro (1974), with the application on 48 draw-twisters and the implementation of an integrated process, from machine doffing through product inspection and sorting and up to automatic packing and box transport to the warehouse – all controlled and managed by a computerized system, one of the first used in the management of handling processes.
