Smartex conducted a pilot study on one of their circular knitting machines with Smartex CORE installed.

 

The machine ran at its regular revolutions per minute (RPM) rate during the first period.

 

In the second period, the machine speed was increased by 19%. With the increased RPM, the machine recorded a 6% increase in output without any drop in quality.
