Jumbo rolls and slit rolls out of step
Slit rolls are created from their jumbo roll, so every child roll keeps the parent's lot, GSM and test results.
Spunbond, needle-punched, meltblown and coated fabrics
Non-woven & Technical Textile ERP software
Built for non-woven and technical textile plants, from polymer and fibre receipt through spinning, carding, needle punching, meltblowing and coating to slit rolls, with roll-wise stock, GSM-wise testing and lot traceability throughout.
Quick answer
What is non-woven ERP?
Non-woven ERP is business software built around how a non-woven or technical textile line runs. Formezy records polymer and fibre lots, the recipe dosed, line output per shift, every jumbo roll with GSM, width and weight, the slit rolls cut from it and the lab results for each roll, so stock, wastage, cost and quality stay current from granule to dispatch.
GSM and test results kept separately
GSM, tensile, elongation and other lab results are stored against the roll and checked before it can be dispatched.
Edge trim and start-up waste not counted
Edge trim, start-up and off-spec material are booked by type and line, and recycled material returned to stock.
Segments
Built for every non-woven & technical textile segment
4 segments, each with its own shop-floor process flow.
Spunbond
PP spunbond fabric for hygiene, medical, agriculture, furniture and packaging. Track the recipe, line speed, every jumbo roll and the slit rolls cut from it.
See the 7-step flowNeedle-punched
Needle-punched felts and fabrics from PP or PET staple fibre for geotextiles, automotive, filtration and carpets. Fibre lots, GSM per roll and needle-board changes tracked.
See the 7-step flowMeltblown
Fine-fibre meltblown media for filtration and face masks. Process settings, filtration test results and roll weights recorded per roll.
See the 6-step flowTechnical & coated fabrics
PVC, PU and PE coated or laminated fabrics, including tarpaulins and synthetic leather. Compound recipes, coating weight and roll-wise test results tracked.

Questions
Non-woven & Technical Textile ERP: common questions
Still have a question?
Talk to a plastic ERP specialist about your own plant and process route.
Which non-woven & technical textile segments does Formezy support?
Formezy supports spunbond, needle-punched, meltblown and technical & coated fabrics, each with its own process flow. Plants that combine segments run them in one system.
Which non-woven processes does Formezy support?
Spunbond, needle-punched, meltblown and coated or laminated technical fabrics, each with its own process flow. Plants running more than one process work in the same system.
How are jumbo rolls and slit rolls tracked?
Each jumbo roll is created with GSM, width, length and weight when it is wound. Slitting creates child rolls linked to the jumbo roll, so every slit roll keeps the lot and test results of its parent.
Can Formezy record GSM and tensile results?
Yes. GSM, tensile, elongation, thickness, puncture, filtration or coating tests are recorded per roll against the parameters for that product, and failed rolls are held.
How does it help reduce wastage?
Start-up loss, edge trim, slitting trim and off-spec rolls are booked by type and line, so wastage is visible by stage and shift, and recycled material goes back to stock.
Can it handle staple fibre as well as polymer granules?
Yes. Fibre bales are received with type, denier and lot, and blend recipes are recorded for needle-punched lines, alongside polymer recipes for spunbond and meltblown lines.
Can Formezy handle coated and laminated technical fabrics?
Yes. Coating compounds are managed as formulations, coating weight and line output are logged per run, and each finished roll carries its grade and test results.
