Any manufacturer that uses machine stitching can benefit from VisionStitch’s unique combination of software and manufacturing training. Current users include footwear, clothing, furniture, bag, belt and parachute manufacturers. Any stitching can be recorded and analysed with VisionStitch.

No. VisionStitch is installed on workstations which are moved between individual sewing machines. These are usually mounted on a trolley, allowing them to be easily wheeled around the factory. Small factories often buy just one Visionstitch, while larger factories may buy several.

We simply attach striped tape to the handwheel of the sewing machine. A digital optical sensor reads the tape and passes information to the VisionStitch software.

The system is designed to be universal and to fit quickly and easily on any machine. It can be installed on all types of machine — from flat to post — and works with any motor, including the old clutch type and the latest electronic motors.

SATRA’s instructors visit your factory to install the system and train a small team of people.

We recommend that the factory assembles a small team for the training. Suggested people for the team include a stitching instructor, a mechanic, a time study/costing engineer, a supervisor and a quality inspector. We teach the team to understand stitching, so they can make improvements themselves. These are the important people who will make the system work.

The factory needs to supply a standard desktop PC with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. SATRA will supply all the equipment and software needed to run VisionStitch. We supply the interface box to the PC, keypad, optical sensor, foot pedal, VisionStitch software, Advantage Database Server software, an instructor manual, paper stitching exercises and striped tapes to attach to the machines’ handwheels.

The VisionStitch software is a visual system, making analysis very straightforward. Images of the screens can be emailed to SATRA. Any machine problems or changes can be examined using digital photographs.

VisionStitch is designed to help operators stitch correctly. Once the operator is working properly, he or she will stitch less erratically and produce more work of much better quality.

If you are interested in VisionStitch, we can arrange for a demonstration. Our consultant will visit your factory and demonstrate how VisionStitch works and what kind of benefits can be achieved with your machines and type of production.
