Knitting Management System

Overview

In a knitting unit the profit is decided by yarn consumption, GSM accuracy and machine uptime. Our Knitting Management System tracks yarn from the godown through each circular knitting machine into barcoded fabric rolls.

The problems we solve

• Yarn lots get mixed and lot-wise traceability is lost.
• GSM and diameter deviations are discovered only at dyeing.
• Machine efficiency and downtime are guessed from shift reports.
• Job work knitting is billed without exact consumption data.

Key features

• Yarn lot & count tracking. Receive yarn by lot, count and supplier with lot-wise issue to machines.
• Knitting programs. Fabric construction with GSM, diameter, gauge, stitch length and yarn mix.
• Machine-wise production. Shift entries per machine with RPM, rolls and kg produced.
• Fabric roll barcodes. Each roll gets a barcode label with lot, GSM, weight and machine.
• Yield & waste. Yarn issued vs fabric produced with process loss and waste analysis.
• Machine efficiency & downtime. Idle time reasons and efficiency per machine per shift.
• Knitting job work. Issue yarn to external knitters and settle on fabric received.
• Fabric stock & dispatch. Roll-level stock to dyeing or sale with delivery notes.
