The textile business has specific business requirements from managing seasonal demand fluctuations and meeting precise order completion dates to optimizing processing capacities and controlling process variability caused by parameters like heat, moisture, and material quality. The sector is also embracing smart manufacturing, where IT-driven automation enables advanced design management and precise process planning.
Whether in weaving or knitting, Lighthouse ERP for discrete industry empowers textile businesses to streamline operations efficiently.
Lighthouse ERP for weaving and knitting companies is specifically designed to address the industry’s end-to-end operational needs. It provides an efficient, effective, and accurate way to manage textile processes. Since 1987, Lighthouse ERP has continuously evolved, delivering industry-specific, comprehensive, and robust solutions for the textile sector. Lighthouse’s technical expertise and precise mapping of key business requirements are the cornerstones of its success.
Disconnected planning, production, quality, and maintenance systems hinder real-time data flow, leading to poor decisions on efficiency, downtime, and material usage, to avoid this integrated erp system is needed.
Rapid style changes, small batches, and custom orders require flexible setups, but manual changeovers cause setup errors, fabric inconsistencies, and higher rework costs.
Reliance on reactive maintenance without IoT based monitoring leaves issues like bearing wear or motor overload undetected, causing breakdowns and reduced machine lifespan.
Due to multiple variables (machine type, yarn count, operator availability, batch size), most units struggle to plan optimal schedules.
Real-time sensor data on machine parameters enables predictive maintenance, minimizing breakdowns and improving overall equipment efficiency.
Digital tagging ensures end-to-end visibility of material movement, enabling quick root cause identification and enhanced quality control.
AI-driven inspection and defect analytics improve first-pass yield, reduce rework, and ensure consistent fabric quality.
Advanced ERP modules now integrate with IoT energy meters and waste parameters.
Track fabric from raw material inward to finished goods dispatch using roll numbers and barcodes. Enables real-time visibility by lot, shade, lab dip, and production stage.
Manage BOMs across all production stages from raw fabric to semi-finished to finished goods. Automatically generate and link BOMs based on fabric attributes and variants.
Plan orders with machine allocation, batch planning, supervisor tagging, and process routing. Create detailed job cards for roll issuance and track execution status across units.
Control every step: Greige inspection, fabric turning, scouring, dyeing, drying, compacting, and final inspection with barcode-linked checkpoints and reprocess control.
Capture shade and color percentages, link lab readings to production, and monitor output quality during dyeing. Integrates with PLC/DCS systems for real-time production feedback.
Order-wise dashboards to track timelines of every stage, from fabric inward to final packing. Enables timely decisions and identifies process bottlenecks early.
Supports consignment sales, multi-level sales orders, delivery orders, and e-invoicing linked to weighslips. Manages export packing, pre- and post-shipment, and LC documentation.
Division-wise financial books, inter-division transactions, subcontracting cost analysis, and detailed product costing with overhead and variance tracking.
Powerful stock and financial reports with drilldown across entity → division → plant → department → item. Helps in fast, data-driven decision-making.
