There are many important contributory factors which determine the economy ― or productivity ― of a circular knitting factory. But these factors take on a completely different emphasis depending on geographical region. The problem of staffing In the highly industrialized countries is focused largely on labour costs, while in the threshold countries the problem revolves predominantly around the qualification of operating staff. In the former case, minimal resetting times are a priority issue, in the latter, the emphasis is on operating simplicity and the prevention of faults. In recent times, the quality stipulations imposed on a knitting factory by its customers have become ever more precise, placing ever greater emphasis on reproducibility when producing repeat orders. Any operation seeking to knit quality fabric in bulk will be looking primarily to cut yarn costs, while a producer specializing In fashion fabrics ― in other words knitting in small batches with frequent changes of pattern -is looking to achieve the simplest and most reliable possibilities for pattern resetting. Just these few examples are indicative of the wide-ranging problem situations faced by the modern knitting factory, and consequently the different requirements imposed on the circular knitting machine manufacturer. AH these requirements have to be addressed in the implementation of comprehensive solutions in order to produce ― wherever possible - standardized circular knitting machines.
