The Profna System
Three products. One connected mill.
Vision, Flow and Trace work as standalone tools — and together they form the operating system of the modern textile factory.
Profna Vision
Automated inspection for circular knitting machines
AI cameras and a custom edge model continuously scan every loop. Defects are caught the moment they appear, the machine is stopped automatically and the operator is notified.
- 100% of fabric inspected in real time
- Self-calibrating across yarns and patterns
- Retrofits onto existing knitting machines
- Average detection latency under 40 ms
Profna Flow
Monitor and control operations from anywhere
A live operations layer on top of every machine. Track production orders, shift performance and downtime in one connected dashboard — on the floor or from headquarters.
- Real-time OEE and downtime tracking
- Digital production orders and routing
- Custom alerts on web and mobile
- Multi-site support out of the box
Profna Trace
Traceable production backed by primary data
Every roll receives a digital passport. Quality, weight, machine, operator and timestamp are recorded automatically and shared with downstream partners on demand.
- Auto-printed labels with verified data
- QR-based digital fabric passport
- Brand-grade quality reporting
- API and CSV exports for ERP
Under the hood
Built for the factory floor.
Hardened hardware, edge AI, and a developer-friendly platform. Everything we ship is designed to outlive a shift, a season and an audit.
Edge AI
Inference on a small box next to the machine — no cloud round-trips, no missed milliseconds.
Custom hardware
Industrial-grade cameras and lighting, designed for vibration, dust and 24/7 duty cycles.
Live analytics
Per-machine OEE, defect heatmaps and shift comparisons — no Excel exports.
Digital passports
Every roll carries a verifiable record of how, when and where it was made.
Open integrations
REST and webhook APIs, plus connectors for SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and custom ERPs.
Secure cloud
EU-hosted, SOC 2 ready, and your data is yours — with full export at any time.
Deployment
From kickoff to live in two weeks.
Site survey
We visit your mill, map every machine and agree on a deployment plan in 1 day.
Hardware install
Our team retrofits cameras and edge boxes onto your machines, typically in 2–3 days per line.
Calibration
Vision learns your yarns and patterns over a few shifts, with our engineers on site.
Go live
Operators are trained, the dashboard is opened and your team starts catching defects in real time.
Compatible with Mayer & Cie, Terrot, Pilotelli, Santoni, Orizio and more.
All compute on-prem. Works without internet — syncs when back online.
EU-hosted dashboard, GDPR compliant, full data ownership.
Common questions
Does Profna work on my brand of knitting machine?+
Almost certainly. We've deployed on every major manufacturer made in the last 25 years. Send us a list — we'll confirm in 24 hours.
How disruptive is the install?+
Per machine, downtime is typically under 90 minutes. We schedule installs around your production calendar and never touch a running line without sign-off.
Where does the data live?+
On your edge devices and in our EU-hosted cloud. You own the raw data, can export anytime, and we never share it with third parties.
What if our internet goes down?+
Vision keeps inspecting and Flow keeps recording locally. Everything syncs the moment the connection is back.
