Peripherals
Score boards indicating efficiency or quality ratios as well as TV
monitors bringing comprehensive messages and information
to the operators form an integral part of today’s WeaveMaster
system, improving communication within the mill.
The “CIM-Kiosk”, a TV monitor on the production floor, allows the
user to retrieve information from the system using a standard
browser environment. As such, operators and technicians are
constantly informed about efficiencies, job status, machines
needing assistance...
Link with the ERP system
KnitMaster is easily integrated in the customer’s ERP system.
Through a standard interface, order and style data is trans-
ferred from the ERP system and imported in the KnitMaster
database.
The integrated export functionality allows a straightforward
upload of information from KnitMaster to the customer’s ERP
system.
Typical information transferred from the KnitMaster system
includes work in progress, efficiency and quality data.
KnitMaster uses the standard TCP/IP protocol for setting up the
link with the host computer.
Connecting remote sites
KnitMaster supports the connection of multiple plants to one
central server.
In the remote site, an M-Server, connected to a leased telephone
line, links the machines to the central computer system.
