Texion the company that assists companies with software solutions has come up with Pro Fab is an efficient manufacturing execution system that supports every type and generation of warp knitting machine. This flexible product can be absorbed easily into existing infrastructures and networks the machines to the planning system. Fully integrated into the machine control systems, Pro Fab can access all the machine data and all the planning data at the same time – an important pre-requisite for carrying out fully automatic sequences, and an effective process automation system.

The Pro Cad range of CAD systems offers top quality 3D simulation. More drafts and fewer samples is just one of the advantages of this new system. It can produce 3D simulations of large lace, jacquard and tricot patterns extremely quickly and create an extremely realistic image, which is based on two important new innovations – newly developed 3D algorithms and a wide range of new yarn models. The resulted surface structures look three-dimensional and sculptured, even at high magnifications. Reflective effects and light and shaded areas can be examined very closely on a microscopic level. Microscopically displaying the fabric enables yarn effects, such as shimmering yarns and deformations by integration in the stitch structure, to be shown to full advantage.

The Pro Cad developer and the Pro Cad warp knit are efficient design tools that make many more fabrics available for pre-selection than ever before for a much lower cost. Samples now only need to be produced of a few fabrics.
