The approved shade, repeated batch after batch.

This module stores lab dips, approved shades and the recipe for each shade and quality, then scales the recipe to the weight of the batch. It records what was issued, what was added during the run and whether the shade passed. When a party reorders a shade months later, the dye house starts from what worked last time.

In short

Stores lab dips, approved shades and recipes per shade and quality, then scales the recipe to batch weight. Records dyes and chemicals issued, additions made and whether the shade passed.

What it does

Inside the module.

04

Batch scaling

05

Issue per batch

Extra dyes added to correct a shade are recorded against the same batch.

07

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it work for both yarn and fabric dyeing?

Yes. The same module is used in the Yarn and Dyeing ERP, where batches are in kg of yarn, and in the Process House ERP, where lots are fabric.

How does it help repeat a shade?

The recipe that produced the approved shade is saved, along with the additions that were needed. Next time the dyeing master starts from that record, not from memory or an old notebook.

Does it show the colour cost of a batch?

Yes. Dyes and chemicals issued and added are costed against the batch. You see the cost per kg of yarn or per metre of fabric, which you can compare with your job rate.

Which Kreon products include dyeing recipes and shade matching?

Yarn and Dyeing ERP, Process House ERP. It can also be added to a custom system.
