Had to stop in to the Velcro plant yesterday, textile manufacturers are the best at organized processes.
This place it the size of a larger shopping mall and nothing is ever out of place.

Two separate processes of weaving, dyeing, napping a fuzzy cloth & bonding an extrusion of plastic onto a backing material .
Creel room where it all starts.
Enormous robot pallets work on another line at extrusion. Humans just open hatches and feed it. This is all strung by hand.

I used to work in a creel room at a cotton mill . It was all formulated with a recipe for a particular cloth and then that spool was blended with more spools to complete the recipe. Very complicated for making towels.

Extrusion has a whole robot machine with drone loaders going down the aisles, IR emitters to make the plastic drip over and make a hook for the Velcro.
Spools(acres) of Velcro lining the passage to the warehouse at the end.

I don’t mean this to be rude or even sarcastic but does anyone even work there, it seems so automated.
