Could CreelMT be justified in your plant?
Before investing in automated creeling, you need to understand where the value could come from and whether the assumptions fit your operation.
This case study explores how one CreelMT system could support two patterned tufting machines, with a projected annual operating benefit of approximately US$1.43 million and an indicative simple payback of approximately 21 months.
Why read this case study?
- Identify costs you may be overlooking. See how yarn losses, creeling labour, pattern-change downtime and inventory could be affecting your manufacturing costs.
- Compare the scenario with your own plant. Review the modelled changes in yarn utilisation, staffing requirements and changeover times.
- Understand where the financial value comes from. Explore the breakdown of potential operating savings, recovered production capacity and working capital released.
- Support your internal investment discussions. Give production, finance and management teams a shared starting point for evaluating automated creeling.
- Know what to validate before investing. Understand which production and financial assumptions need checking against your operation.
