Lighthouse ERP
Knitting & Dyeing Industry
Simple to Use
Easy to Implement
Flexible to Customized Solution
The textile business has specific business requirements of catering to seasonal demands, precise order completion dates, processing capacity management, and process variability due to several operating parameters (heat, moisture, material quality).
There is also a shift smart manufacturing where IT has led the automation of designs and exact process planning.
Knitting and dyeing involves myriad of operations. The knitted fabric undergoes plethora of chemical processes and treatments like bleaching, dyeing, softener padding, and scouring. Various parameters affect the quality of knitted fabric. The processes mentioned above makes lot of impact on quality of fabric. The fabric also before dyeing must be tenuous. After knitting, dyeing process is initiated. Jets and winch machines are used for dyeing. Fabrics after dyeing are processed and delivered in tubular form on becks.
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP software for knitting and dyeing plays crucial role in maintaining smooth workflow. Automation and Business Intelligence helps the industry to gain insights and reports that can lead to strategic decision making. Various modules in ERP software for knitting and dyeing communicate with each other to form a seamless network for communication and exchange of information. To make workflow more smoother, the ERP software stores the information and data centrally. The centrally located data eliminates the delays that occur due to geographical conditions and information can be fetched at any instance.
