Grey (unprocessed) fabric rolls arrive with variations in loop length, moisture, and weight. Without individual roll barcode identification and quality grading at the gate, poor-quality yarn rolls get dispatched to dyehouses, producing shading defects and uneven shrinkage. Werkora controls grey fabric from gate receipt to dyeing batching.
Raw grey fabric straight from the knitting or weaving loom contains oil, starch, and moisture. Inspecting roll weight, continuous width, and loop structure upon gate receipt prevents accepting sub-standard yarn that will bleed or skew during wet processing.
Each roll received is weighed and assigned an inventory lot tag. The record captures mill origin, yarn count, gross weight, and rack location in the warehouse.
When dyeing programs are planned, Werkora builds dye lots using rolls from identical knitting batches. The system issues batch dispatch notes and tracks the material through external dyehouses until finished fabric rolls return with lab-verified shade approvals.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
Yarn from different spinning mills or knitting machines behaves differently during dyeing. Segregating rolls by knitting lot prevents cross-dye shade variation.
Werkora calculates process weight loss or gain between grey dispatched weight and finished dyed fabric received, comparing results against contract shrinkage tolerances.
