ARTA Tekstil, which has been responding to the dyeing, printing and finishing needs of its customers in woven and knitted fabrics by increasing its service quality gradually with its dynamic and innovative structure since its establishment in 1988, is also gaining strength with the investments it has made in its machinery park. ARTA Tekstil, which has a machinery and base stock of 80 million dollars, offers fast and quality service to its customers with a total of 84 machines in its machinery park, 45 of which are of special for the weaving production line, 30 for knitting and 9 machines suitable for both lines. ARTA Tekstil produces non-denim, military uniform fabrics, woven fabrics suitable for sportswear and digital printed upper group (shirt, blouse, dress) fabrics on machines with a domestic ratio of up to 58 percent.
Machinery Park Expands with Functional and New Technology Machinery
ARTA Tekstil, which increases its production capacity gradually and brings the power of domestic production together with the world, attaches importance to new technologies also in its machinery park. The company, which supplied the Atexco digital printing machine from the Milan ITMA fair last year, will strengthen its range of machinery with 3 HT machines and 1 SER Sanforizing machine, all of which are domestic production, in April. ARTA Tekstil, of which 53 percent of its machinery park consisted of domestic machines last year, will increase the domestic ratio of up to 58 percent in its new machines. ARTA Tekstil, which contributes 16 million dollars annually to Turkey's export volume with its voluminous range, mainly supplies garment manufacturers in Spain, Morocco and Tunisia, while also serving its customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Macedonia, Italy and France.
Contributes to Sustainability
ARTA Tekstil, which produces dyed, rotational and digital printed woven and knitted fabrics, supplies the fabrics of the lower and upper group products of domestic and global brands. The company, which also supplies its customers with special finishing and coated fabrics for military uniform fabrics and work clothes and uniforms in the field of technical textiles, also focuses on sustainability-oriented activities. It transforms the energy it uses into sustainable form with energy efficiency improvement projects and heat recovery systems. ARTA Tekstil also uses systems that save water consumption. It works with a process-based improvement target of 20-25 percent by classifying wastewater with a color sensor and re-using it. The company, which has been following the process closely for the last 3 years to reduce the fabric waste, has achieved a 25 percent improvement with the systems it has developed. ARTA Tekstil calculates the 'machinery equipment efficiency (OEE)' of all its machines and carries out improvement projects with Kobetsu Kaizen and before/after Kaizen studies to increase usability levels. The company, which implements the improvement studies of standard operations with the experimental design technique also for the performance level, uses Quality Assurance tools such as statistical process control (İPK), Gauge R&R and on-site quality to increase the quality levels.
Immediate Intervention to the Problem
ARTA Tekstil uses software developed specifically for its production lines for high efficiency. The company, which enables ERP and PLC programs to communicate each other via web-service technique, visualizes the data collected from these in the BI program and intervenes in the production park when a problem occurs with real-time warning systems. ARTA Tekstil plans to integrate artificial intelligence into business processes; via applying machine learning methodology to ERP and PLC data, it aims to establish a system that constantly optimizes itself with the project of automatically setting machine parameters for machine, fabric and process features via PLCs. In addition, it aims to start with raw fabric, then use image processing techniques in quality control, and with the support of artificial intelligence, to catch some major types of errors without any errors or to intervene immediately when an error occurs.
