KNITTING

The knitting module provides for the management and control of knitting machines in the factory and the allocation of work to those machines. Integration with the machines can be achieved Through the Arel Knit Monitoring system or 3rd party control systems.

Knitting can be managed on either circular knitting machines or flatbed knitting machines with equal ease.

Knitting occurs according to the instructions on a knit order, and can use as many different yarns as you require. A standard doff roll size is recorded on the knit order and based on this information an expected number of greige rolls is calculated.

As the knit machine reaches the specified roll size the rolls are doffed, and placed either into the greige inspection queue or directly into stock (dependant upon your requirements). For each roll an actual size is recorded and a roll number assigned.

Knit room control and reporting is provided that allows a visual overview of the knitting room(s) and shows information on what each machine should be doing. This is available regardless of whether machine control integration occurs or not. Integration will allow more information to be displayed on the control screen but is not required.
