Knitting Automation & Management System

A modern knitting production tracking system needs seven core features: automatic machine data collection, knitting planning, yarn warehousing with automatic consumption and lot-based waste, barcoded rolls and greige fabric stock, quality control, subcontract knitting management, and integration with the dyehouse and ERP. In Egemen’s knitting system these map to minute-level revolutions, start/stop events and downtime reasons via Ege 9050, drag-and-drop planning with utilisation calculation, automatic yarn consumption and lot-based waste, weighed and barcoded roll entry, weight, length and defect data from inspection machines, combined in-house and subcontract planning, and transfer to the dyehouse without re-entering delivery notes.

Yes. Needle and sinker changes are recorded in the quality control and shipment module. In addition, the Ege 9050 devices at the machine record alarms such as “needle broken” as downtime reasons together with their duration.

Production is entered with weighing and barcodes, and a combined production slip is available per shift. The number of electrically and mechanically cut rolls, machine setting and breakdown times, and operator and machine performance are reported from the data collected at the machine; the machine park can be monitored online with a knitting animation.

It is ERP and MES software built for knitting plants. Egemen Yazılım’s knitting solution manages knitting production in one system, from orders and planning, knitting automation with Ege 9050 devices and the yarn warehouse to barcoded roll tracking, quality control and transfer to the dyehouse.

Ege 9050 automation devices collect minute-level revolution and production data, start/stop records, stop reasons and durations (Memminger, Lycra, broken needle and more), setup and breakdown times, and the number of rolls cut electrically or mechanically. The live revolution, running order, planned, knitted, defective and remaining quantities and the operator are shown in the knitting animation.

Approved orders flow automatically into the knitting planning screen. When an order is dragged onto a machine, the system calculates the load time from the machine’s capacity. Knitting instructions are sent to the knitting floor or subcontractor with a production batch number.

Greige fabric and yarn requirements are calculated automatically from the order, taking knitting and dyeing waste into account. Raw material is deducted automatically at production entry, and waste is tracked by lot.

Yes. Production is entered roll by roll with weighing and barcodes, from the quality control screen or with shift production slips. Barcoded shelves, second quality, repair and scrap are tracked, and quotations by fabric or quality, orders from quotations, reservations and sales from stock are managed.

Yes. In-house and subcontract knitting are planned together, and subcontract yarn dyeing, twisting and folding, raschel production and yarn held at subcontractors are tracked.

Yes. Purchase requests and approvals, price quotes, orders created from quotes or requests, purchasing analysis and supplier evaluation reports are managed in the system.

Greige fabric from knitting or weaving is tracked in integration with dyehouse orders. Greige acceptance, batch creation, dyeing, quality control and shipment are followed in a single chain. Knitted production is sent to the dyehouse with transfer slips, and the dyehouse can accept it without re-entering the dispatch note.

Quality control is entered on touch screens, with weight, length and defects read automatically from the inspection machine. Needle and sinker changes are also tracked.

Real-time visibility of machine and production performance, full control over in-house and subcontract processes, lot-based waste analysis, visible real costs, backward traceability for quality problems and data integrity between planning, production and shipment.

Yes. Egemen Yazılım solutions can exchange data with ERP systems such as SAP, SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite, CANIAS and Workcube, and with e-invoice integrators such as Logo, Mikro, TÜRKKEP and Uyumsoft, so order, stock and invoice data is not entered twice.

Egemen Yazılım solutions are used at more than 150 integrated facilities and over 500 small and medium-sized facilities in 10 countries. You can find some of these companies on the References page.
