Industry Know-How
in 12 Hours
Support
Imagine knowing at any time, from anywhere, how efficiently your production is running right now.
Clouver connects sewing machines, captures the relevant machine and production data, and presents it in clear dashboards for plant management, production management, line leaders, and quality teams. Instead of waiting for end-of-day reports, Excel lists, or manual updates, your teams see how lines, machines, quality, and output are really performing while the shift is still running.
SmartKit TEXTILE –
the device that connects your sewing machines
Small. Unobtrusive. Powerful.
The compact 4th-generation hardware adapter bridges your sewing machines and the Clouver platform, using WiFi, Bluetooth, or Ethernet. Your existing systems stay in place.

OEE, output, quality control and DHU for every sewing line –
in one dashboard, at a glance.
Monitor the KPIs that matter
Clouver focuses on the numbers that help sewing factories improve output and quality.
OEE
Overall equipment effectiveness
How well are lines and machines used? Clouver shows OEE per line for targeted improvement work.
DHU
Defects per hundred units
Inline DHU shows defects found during production. Endline DHU shows defects found at final quality check. Together: faster root-cause analysis.
Output
Live production volume
Running shift volume per line. Instantly visible when a line falls behind plan.
QC PASS RATE
Passed quality check
Shows how many pieces pass the quality check – per line and shift.
This view helps teams talk about root causes faster: Is the issue at a process step? A line? A product? A recurring defect type? Or is the defect simply detected too late?

How Clouver works
Three steps to a live view.
Connect your sewing machines
SmartKit TEXTILE connects your machines to the Clouver platform via WiFi, Bluetooth or Ethernet. Existing systems stay in place.
Collect live production data
Clouver captures output, runtime, downtime, task status and quality metrics — even at large sites with WiFi mesh and gateway buffering.
Turn data into decisions
Dashboards for plant, production and quality teams. Check shift status, compare lines, act earlier — no more waiting for manual reports.
Who Clouver is ideal for
Clouver is a strong fit for textile manufacturers that want more transparency and control — without starting a large ERP replacement project.
Multi-line sewing factories
Compare line output and spot weak lines faster.
Export-focused apparel plants
Support better planning for tight shipment dates.
Managers focused on OEE
Use line data for better improvement work.
Quality teams tracking defects
See DHU, inline defects and endline defects in one view.
Teams using paper reports
Move from late reports to live dashboards.
Why sewing factories need real-time shop floor control
Current challenge
- Hidden bottlenecks
- Late downtime reports
- Unclear quality loss
- Paper-based line setup
- Weak cost data
What Clouver helps you see
- Line output, OEE and status trends
- Machine and line status for faster action
- DHU, inline defects and endline defects
- Digital product, step and line setup
- Better time, output and quality data for decisions
Many apparel plants still rely on paper lists, Excel files and late shop floor updates. This makes daily control hard. Bottlenecks stay hidden. Downtime is reported too late. Managers react after time and output are already lost.
This is a major risk in Asian textile hubs. Many factories run many lines, large machine fleets and tight export orders. One slow line can affect labour planning, quality, shipment dates and customer trust.
From retrospective control to live transparency
Clouver supports the shift from retrospective control to live shop floor transparency — a solid foundation for daily decisions and continuous improvement.
01
Line leaders
see at any time which lines are running — and where things are stuck
02
Quality teams
spot where defects occur — instead of finding them after the fact.
03
Production & plant management
get a solid foundation for daily decisions and continuous improvement.
Reduce quality losses with DHU visibility
Quality issues cost more when they are found late. Rework, scrap and manual checks take time away from output. Clouver gives quality teams a clearer view of where defects occur and which fault types appear most often.
Together: focus on the right problem
Together, inline and endline DHU help teams focus on the right issue first.
Endline DHU
Shows defects found at final quality check.
Inline DHU
Shows issues found during production.
With Clouver
- Faster response to production deviations
- Less rework through earlier defect detection
- Higher transparency on OEE, output and DHU
- Better decision basis for production and plant management

Built for sewing line monitoring
Generic factory dashboards often miss the logic of a sewing plant. Clouver is built around sewing lines, machine groups, product steps, line balance, output and quality checks.
The platform gives all teams one shared view. Plant managers can compare lines. Line leaders can focus on weak spots. Quality teams can see whether defects occur during sewing or at final check.
Compare Planned Time With Real Production Time
A sewing line needs balance. If one step takes longer than planned, the whole line can lose flow. Clouver helps teams compare planned time with real production time.
The dashboard can show standard time, real time, total output and step details. This helps line leaders see whether a line is balanced or whether one step slows the flow.
Digitise products, steps and line setup
Many factories still keep product data, line plans and machine changes on paper. Clouver helps move this logic into a digital setup.
Teams can create products, add details such as colour or size and define the needed production steps. Lines can then be set up digitally, so each machine is linked to the product and step it supports.
If a machine changes or a line is rebuilt, the setup can be updated. The platform always reflects the real shop floor.
AI-generated visualization
Designed for scalable textile plants
Sewing sites can grow from a few lines to thousands of connected machines.
Clouver is designed with this scale in mind. The platform supports machine-level data, structured data flow and dashboard views for different roles.
For sites with unstable internet, gateway-based buffering can help protect data during short outages. This matters when managers need a reliable history, not gaps in the record.
Pricing Model
Hardware, setup, software and support included. No ERP replacement.
No hidden maintenance contracts.

Why decision-makers choose Clouver
Clouver is not another heavyweight enterprise system. It is a practical, real-time view of the shop floor.
It helps you connect machines, structure production data, and make line, product, and quality information easier to use.
Business value
- Better line utilization
- Fewer hidden stoppages
- Faster quality response
- More reliable delivery
- Better data for operational decisions
Implementation approach
Every factory is different. That’s why Clouver starts with a structured rollout conversation.
A good first step is often one selected line, product group, or clearly defined production area where the value becomes visible fast.
During the consultation, ProCom Automation reviews your machine base, network situation, KPI goals, and reporting needs. Based on that, the team recommends a rollout path that fits your specific production setup.
No blanket promises. No generic package deals. Just a practical assessment of your production scenario.

Can Clouver support large factories?
Yes. Clouver is designed for scalable textile plants. For larger rollouts, the data flow and rollout plan are adapted to machine count, network conditions and daily work needs.
How does Clouver help quality teams?
Clouver shows quality KPIs such as DHU, inline defects, endline defects and frequent fault types. This supports faster root-cause talks and more focused action.
If your factory still depends on late reports, spreadsheets or incomplete shop floor data, Clouver can help you build a clearer view of production.
