KnitMaster
Real Time Monitoring, Planning and Quality Control
for your Knitting Mill
Barco is proud to introduce KnitMaster, a monitoring system specially configured and designed
for knitting plants.
Through a Graphical User Interface (GUI), KnitMaster users are constantly informed about the
actual situation in the knitting mill resulting in faster reactions to problems and an increased
efficiency.
Powerful analysis tools allow quick identification of weak points and bottlenecks resulting
in an optimal usage of production capacities.
With today's small order quantities and short delivery times, scheduling has become a critical
function for the textile mill. KnitMaster offers the planning department an interactive tool
allowing them to optimize machine loading based on real time information.
Optional modules are available for on-line control of yarn consumption, connection of weigh-
ing scales, integration of the fabric inspection department and link with the company's ERP
system.
