Can the master read it in Gujarati?
RunningStopped
ચાલુબંધગુ · हि · En
Gujarati, Hindi or English, whichever your master reads.
Don’t take our word for it. Run both on one loom.
We fit LoomLink on a loom that already has your system. Both run for a week. At every shift end you write down three numbers. Nothing is taken out.
Comparison sheet, loom 12metres at each shift end, example
| Shift | Loom counter | LoomLink | Your system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon, Shift 1 | 1,402.6 | 1,402.1 | |
| Mon, Shift 2 | 1,388.0 | 1,387.7 | |
| Tue, Shift 1 | 1,417.3 | 1,416.9 | |
| Tue, Shift 2 | 1,359.8 | 1,359.6 |
The yellow column is yours to fill in. Keep the sheet; the numbers are yours either way.
Switching never leaves the factory blind.
One loom first, then a line at a time. Your old system runs on the rest until we reach it.
Step 1
Week 1: one loom
Side by side with what you run today.
Step 2
Then: line 1
Fitted and counting before we move on.
Step 3
Then: the whole factory
Every line on one wall, one report.
What usually makes owners switch
The numbers stopped matching
Report metres and the taka drifted apart.

After that, the master stops looking at the TV.
Support that takes days
A dark loom on Monday, a visit on Thursday.
Messages nobody reads
Too many, none of them the one that mattered.
Put one loom on it first.
We fit LoomLink on one of your looms. Compare it with your counter, and with whatever you run today. Then decide.
