Silken Sewing uses Solvei8's preventiveApparel manufacturing faces ongoing challenges such as frequent machine breakdowns, production delays, and rising maintenance costs. These issues disrupt production schedules and strain budgets, highlighting the need to shift from reactive to preventive maintenance.

Preventive maintenance offers a proactive solution by managing machinery to prevent unexpected failures. Unlike reactive maintenance, which only addresses problems after they occur, preventive maintenance involves regular inspections and timely repairs. This approach reduces downtime, minimizes the risk of equipment failure, and ensures consistent production quality. By adopting preventive maintenance, manufacturers can avoid costly emergency repairs, maintain stable production schedules, and improve overall operational efficiency.

Silken Sewing, a leading knitwear and woven garment manufacturer in Bangladesh, faced significant challenges with its manual maintenance processes. The company’s reliance on outdated tracking methods led to frequent breakdowns and rising costs. To tackle these issues, Silken Sewing partnered with Solvei8, adopting the company’s advanced real-time asset monitoring system, Maintain8.

Maintain8 is designed to automate and optimize maintenance tracking. The system offers features such as real-time insights into machine performance, precise repair time tracking, and timely preventive maintenance alerts. This digital transformation replaced inefficient manual reporting with a more effective, data-driven platform.

Silken Sewing’s leadership praised the implementation: “Maintain8 has revolutionized our maintenance processes. It has significantly improved machine uptime and reduced mean time to repair. The system provides us with real-time data to better track machine performance and mechanic availability.”

The results are clear. With Maintain8, Silken Sewing has achieved noticeable improvements in machine uptime and operational efficiency. The system’s capabilities in KPI tracking, mechanic performance assessment, and machinery utilization highlight Solvei8’s dedication to addressing industry-specific challenges and improving operational performance.

In summary, the successful implementation of Maintain8 at Silken Sewing demonstrates how preventive maintenance, backed by advanced technology, can solve common issues in apparel manufacturing, driving productivity, cost savings, and a competitive edge.
