Bonneterie, a renowned Brazilian luxury knitwear manufacturer, has transformed its production process through the integration of the Production Planning System (PPS) powered by Stoll and KM.ON. Founded in 1987, the company has long been known for its sophisticated and high-quality garments. As part of its ongoing modernization efforts, Bonneterie sought to streamline its operations and improve efficiency, opting to implement the PPS alongside its ERP system.

Before adopting the PPS, production at Bonneterie was hindered by manual processes, including handwritten notes for production and yarn management, leading to errors, miscommunication, and excessive setup times. This inefficiency was exacerbated by operators managing multiple machines, resulting in increased downtime and reduced productivity.

The PPS system has brought significant improvements to Bonneterie’s production workflow. By providing real-time insights and automating key tasks, it eliminated the need for manual input, improving accuracy and allowing operators to manage more machines with ease. The system’s remote access feature also enables managers to oversee operations from anywhere, ensuring better decision-making and faster response times.

The results speak for themselves, efficiency has increased by 20 per cent, stockpiling has decreased, and production is more closely aligned with demand. With access to detailed reports and historical data, Bonneterie can now pinpoint inefficiencies and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Thanks to its collaboration with Stoll, Bonneterie has successfully modernized its production processes, enhancing its ability to deliver high-quality knitwear with precision and reliability.
