Real-time monitoring and preventive maintenance reduce machine downtime and streamline operations at Metro Knitting & Dyeing Mills Ltd.
Solvei8 has implemented its Factory OS-powered maintenance solution, Maintaini8, at Metro Knitting & Dyeing Mills Ltd., a leading composite knitwear manufacturer in Bangladesh and a concern of the Panam Group. By moving from manual logs to a real-time digital system, Metro has significantly reduced machine downtime, improved preventive maintenance management, and enhanced mechanic performance tracking.
Before implementation, the factory faced challenges including incomplete machine records, inconsistent preventive maintenance, and limited visibility into mechanic performance. With Factory OS, Metro now tracks breakdowns and repairs in real-time, receives preventive maintenance alerts, and monitors spare part usage more effectively. These improvements have streamlined day-to-day maintenance operations and reduced avoidable downtime.
“Factory OS has helped us bring greater discipline and control to our maintenance department,” said Biplob Kumar Mohajan, Sr. General Manager, Operations at Metro Knitting & Dyeing Mills Ltd. “We can now take proactive actions with data-led insights, ensuring machines stay in better running condition.”
“This partnership demonstrates how digitization can address one of the most persistent bottlenecks in factories—unplanned downtime,” said Adib Sajjad, Country Manager (Bangladesh) at Solvei8. “We’re proud to support Metro Knitting & Dyeing Mills in building a more resilient, future-ready operation.”
The transition has also empowered the factory’s mechanics. Initially new to digital tools, they have quickly adapted and now rely on daily system-generated reports to track repairs, machine health, and performance. As a result, Metro Knitting & Dyeing Mills has gained more accurate visibility, better spare parts management, and faster resolution of maintenance issues.
