Amid large-scale workshop expansion and intensive daily operations, KB DENIM encountered a host of severe challenges stemming from conventional heavy-load material handling. First, for the heald frame mounting process on weaving looms, the traditional workflow required prolonged manual teamwork by multiple workers. This practice consumed substantial labor resources and carried significant safety risks. Second, as hundreds of new looms were commissioned, the old handling equipment and conventional hydraulic trolleys could no longer keep up with the massive volume of warp beam and fabric roll transfer. Bottlenecks frequently formed between production stages, heavily limiting the mill’s overall output potential. Furthermore, manually pushing and pulling 1.5-ton warp beams and heavy A-frame trolleys over long distances across the workshop was extremely strenuous. It disrupted the production rhythm and posed persistent, non-negligible threats to the occupational health and safety of frontline workers.

To break the logistics bottlenecks brought by workshop expansion and fully deliver on the group’s strategic goals for intelligent manufacturing and workplace safety, KB DENIM set clear and stringent criteria for equipment selection. In terms of safety and performance, the client required warp loading equipment to feature automated and intelligent controls: simple single-person operation, integrated laser safety protection and electronic steering, to eliminate high-risk manual handling that relies on multiple workers. For equipment compatibility, the newly purchased machines needed to work seamlessly with premium mainstream looms including the Itema R9500 Evo Denim. Certain units had to be multi-functional, capable of transporting both warp beams and fabric rolls, to adapt to the flexible, varied working conditions on the shop floor. Facing fierce global market competition, while pursuing machinery quality that meets European standards, KB DENIM also attached great importance to the supplier’s custom R&D capability and compelling return on investment. This ensures the equipment can integrate smoothly into its modern smart workshop.

KB DENIM ultimately chose SUNTECH for long-term strategic cooperation and large-scale repeat orders, built on three core pillars of trust. First is proven, time-tested quality. After six years of heavy-duty operation, the SUNTECH electric trolleys purchased back in 2019 still maintain reliable performance in their core structures. Only routine replacement of wearing parts is required, laying a solid foundation of confidence in product quality. Second is outstanding value for money. Matching or even exceeding the quality benchmarks of top European brands, SUNTECH offers a more competitive pricing structure to maximize the customer's ROI. Last but not least, SUNTECH delivers strong market-oriented customization capability. Tailored to the loom models added during capacity expansion and the actual pain points on site, SUNTECH develops custom solutions such as new trolleys with remote heald frame control, EPS steering and laser safety protection. Supported by the global VIP service network for fast and effective support, SUNTECH has earned full trust from KB DENIM.
