AIBOA
Every bobbin remembers.
Roving bobbin identity — from the spindle that made it to the spindle it feeds.

The problem on your floor
A roving bobbin is built on one spindle and feeds one ring spindle across many doffs. If it is bad — wrong hank, soft build, contamination — it quietly degrades every cop that spindle produces until it runs out. The winder is where you find out. By then the waste is twisted yarn that cannot go back into the line.
Not our numbers
What the certification standard itself requires — the problem AIBOA exists to solve, in its words.
Per lot
is the unit certified mills must reconcile volumes at — not per shipment, not per month. Every lot must balance what was bought, what is in stock and what was sold, after production losses
Textile Exchange · Content Claim Standard 3.0 User Manual (CCS-201-V3.0-2021.07.01) · §C3.2, §C3.8.1 · 2021AIBOA and AICAN carry lot identity on the object itself, so the reconciliation is a report rather than a reconstruction.
What it does
Outcomes, not method
- 01An identity that lives with the bobbin, from the speed frame to the creel
- 02A continuous chain of custody through the transport system
- 03Attribution back to the exact speed-frame spindle that produced it
- 04Quality signals gathered while the bobbin is being built, not after
Why it is different
Tracing a cop back to the ring spindle that spun it is a solved, commercial product. Nothing on the market traces upstream of the ring spindle — so nothing can tell you why that spindle spun badly.
