Project register
Innovation projects run inside working mills, plus the earlier planning and engineering work they grew out of. Client organisations are not named.
Innovation projects, 2024 to 2025
- 01Smart dyeing: reducing energy, water, steam, chemical and carbon footprint through process innovation.Dyeing
- 02Cost reduction in dyeing 100% cotton knitted fabric via neps-optimised combed yarn and a streamlined process.Dyeing
- 03Reducing steam usage on 100% cotton single jersey via an optimised recipe and scouring agent.Dyeing
- 04Optimising the dyeing of 100% cotton to save water across light, medium, turquoise, white and dark shades.Dyeing
- 05Dyeing process optimisation with modified dyes to conserve water and energy while increasing productivity.Dyeing
- 06Low-temperature polyester dyeing using carrier to reduce steam consumption and process time.Dyeing
- 07A comprehensive SOP framework for low-temperature dyeing to reduce process loss and utility consumption.Dyeing
- 08Minimising dia-GSM and shrinkage variation on 100% cotton double jersey rib fabric.Quality
- 09Minimising dia-GSM variation on larger-dia fabric by standardising the process from knitting to finishing.Quality
- 10Developing an SOP for improved bulk-to-bulk right-first-time performance.Quality
- 11Enhancing lab-to-bulk and bulk-to-bulk right-first-time performance through optimised process and water calibration.Quality
- 12Optimising lycra drop and lycra dropout in knitted fabrics through a process control approach.Quality
- 13Evaluating process reengineering strategies for neps reduction while managing production cost and downstream resource use.Spinning
- 14Enhanced ring-frame utilisation: reducing carding production speed for higher yarn quality and increased output.Spinning
- 15Reducing shrinkage problems in denim washing through root cause analysis and process flow optimisation.Denim
- 16Reducing elastane breakage in denim laundries through root cause analysis and SOP development.Denim
- 17Pre-consumer waste back to 100% cotton fabric: comparing strength, bursting strength, pilling and abrasion across crushing systems.Sustainability

Where this goes next
The register is the reason Intelactory exists. The same failure classes recurred across unrelated mills often enough to be worth solving once, properly, in software.
