Smart Manufacturing: Factory OS Sets a New Benchmark in Operational Control
Solvei8 earned the Innovation Award in the Smart Manufacturing category for its breakthrough in operational intelligence, specifically through Factory OS, a unified control layer designed for high-velocity, multi-product apparel manufacturing.
In contrast to traditional MES or monitoring tools, Factory OS stood out to the judges for its ability to turn live shop floor data into cross-functional, real-time decisions. Rather than offering visibility alone, the platform enables live corrective action across planning, production, quality, and maintenance.
Factory OS integrates Solvei8’s suite of tools—Plani8, Tracki8, and Maintaini8—into a single, cloud-native environment:
- Plani8 automates production planning and continuously recalibrates based on live inputs from the floor.
- Tracki8 provides real-time visibility into production, WIP, and quality, enabling instant root-cause detection and response.
- Maintaini8 digitizes machine maintenance while connecting downtime events directly to their impact on throughput and delivery targets.
The platform was particularly noted for how it closes the lag between plan and execution, allowing planners, supervisors, and quality teams to act in sync, based on a shared operational reality.
This capability has already translated into real-world performance improvements. Manufacturers such as Premier Knits, Ananta Group, Metro Knitting and Dyeing Mills, and PT Sai Apparel use Factory OS to digitize planning, production, and maintenance workflows—streamlining order reconciliation, reducing pre-production delays, cutting machine downtime, and boosting throughput. By unifying decision-making across departments, Factory OS has helped these factories enhance responsiveness, optimize resource use, and maintain production flow at scale.
In 2024, Solvei8 supported the digital transformation of over 27 factories and more than 1,500 production lines, leading to a 7% improvement in key operational KPIs. This scale of execution reinforced its selection as a leader in smart manufacturing transformation.
Digital Sustainability: Making Environmental Responsibility Operational
Solvei8 also received the Environmental Award in the Digital Sustainability category for its ability to make sustainability a system-level feature, rather than a parallel initiative.
The judging panel highlighted Factory OS’s capacity to enable fully paperless operations, streamline compliance reporting, and provide real-time traceability of production and material flow. They reduce environmental impact while helping factories stay compliant with brand and regulatory demands.
Tracki8’s traceability function allows end-to-end visibility of garments and materials, while also supporting defect tracking tied to buyer-specific quality standards. Plani8 plays a crucial role in minimizing overproduction, enabling factories to align their capacity with actual demand and avoid excess inventory. Meanwhile, Maintaini8 contributes by helping factories reduce energy consumption and prioritize preventive maintenance, lowering resource waste over time.
Solvei8’s environmental impact has been particularly evident in India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, where digitized factories reported reductions in paper usage, smarter energy utilization, and measurable gains in operational efficiency. The platform’s phased implementation, intuitive user experience, and training support have enabled scalable adoption across various factory sizes and formats.
The awards panel recognized Solvei8’s achievement in turning digital sustainability into an operational outcome, not just an environmental ideal.
