KM.ON, a leading innovator in warp knitting technology, is set to launch its new Digital Production Management (DPM) software at ITM 2024 in Istanbul. This advanced solution aims to support production and shift managers by providing enhanced transparency, control, and optimization of the entire production process.

Yevgeniya Nedilko, Cluster Lead Operational Excellence at KM.ON, reflected on the positive reception of the DPM's pilot version presented at ITMA 2023 in Milan. She highlighted that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing that their close cooperation with pilot customers had paid off, resulting in significant interest and inquiries from potential customers.

Based on extensive customer feedback, KM.ON has made substantial improvements to the DPM. Enhancements in data collection and processing have focused on ensuring high data quality. New features include detailed reporting tools such as the Machine Speed Report, Output & Efficiency Report, and Activity Report. Additionally, an input device has been introduced to allow operators to log comprehensive machine-related activities, aiming for full shopfloor transparency.

Nedilko explained that the initial focus has been on major textile markets like Turkey and China, addressing their demand for robust reporting and shopfloor transparency. Advanced features like production planning have been deferred for future updates, which will also include yarn management and ERP integration.

Interested customers can contact KM.ON’s sales team for consultations and tailored recommendations. A trial version of the DPM is available for customers who wish to experience its benefits firsthand. This launch marks a significant step towards revolutionizing production management in the warp knitting industry.
