Marton Mills has installed BMSvision WeaveMaster at its mill in West Yorkshire. Marton Mills are weavers of high quality apparel and furnishings with a focus on wool and tartan in their bespoke designs. BMSvision is a supplier of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for discrete manufacturing, with focus on the textile and plastics and industry.

The mill is home to a weaving operation that has seen further investment in the latest high speed looms, providing a higher output from the same floor space in the weave room. For the sales, manufacturing, and design team at Marton Mills, such an operation lends itself to having real-time information to assist with scheduling customer orders, forecasting deliveries and keeping logistics on the most efficient track, BMSvision said in a press release.

“Following an initial trial with another system, we decided to go with WeaveMaster from BMSvision. WeaveMaster is a proven solution able to connect directly to our latest Dornier looms via a simple Ethernet connection. For our existing machines BMSvision also have suitable hardware designed specifically for the job, so we only have to plug in each loom and information will be received on screen in the office. BMSvision can support us from their local office nearby which is important for us as a busy family business. Along with installation advice and user training, BMSvision can connect remotely so there are no delays if we need to ask for support” managing director of Marton Mills Laura Watts said.

In addition to the PC based production reporting, Marton Mills have selected a web based management dashboard which can provide live information for picks, metres, efficiency and planning on a large display in the weave room. This can also be used with mobile devices such as tablets & smart phones connected to the company network. WeaveMaster will also be linked with the TMS manufacturing system at Marton Mills to receive works orders for planning each loom and timely updates to forecast the end of each job, providing faster responses to customer enquiries.
