Smartex conducted a two-week 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 week.
In the second week, the machine speed was increased by 18%. With the increased RPM, the machine recorded a 32% increase in output without any drop in quality.
