How a knitting floor runs
A knitting order starts as a fabric requirement: quality, GSM, width and kilograms per colour, usually pulled from a garment order. The planner turns it into knitting programs, each one a machine, a yarn lot, a stitch length and a target weight, and issues yarn from the store against the program.
On the floor, circular machines produce rolls that are weighed, numbered and inspected before they go to the grey fabric store. Knitting managers watch three things all day: whether each machine is running its program, whether the rolls match the planned GSM, and whether the yarn issued is turning into fabric at the expected loss.
What Intelactory does at each step
Programs are planned on named machines with their own yarn lot, stitch length and target GSM. Yarn is issued from the store as a posted document, so stock and cost move with it. Each roll is recorded against its program and its yarn lot, inspected, and received into the grey fabric store as its own lot.
Because every roll keeps its yarn lot, a buyer question such as which spinning lot went into this fabric is a quick lookup. The same lots carry on into dyeing and garmenting when those factories run on Intelactory, inside your company or as job work.
Questions
- How is circular knitting production calculated?
- Production in kg per hour = feeders x rpm x needles x stitch length (mm) x tex x 60 / 10^9 x efficiency, with needles = pi x machine diameter x gauge. The free circular knitting calculator shows the result per hour, per shift and per day.
- Can Intelactory trace a knitted roll back to the yarn lot?
- Yes. Yarn is issued to a knitting program from a specific lot, and every roll produced on that program carries the lot forward into the grey fabric store and onward to dyeing and garments.
- Does Intelactory work for a knitting-only factory?
- Yes. A knitting factory can run planning, yarn and grey fabric stores, quality, procurement, finance and HR on its own, and connect to customers' dyeing or garment factories later.
