Leather and footwear

Nisthora for leather and footwear.

Cutting presses, stitching lines and sole-moulding machines run batch by batch. Nisthora shows each line's output and stops live, so supervisors can act during the shift.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

Many styles and sizes

Frequent changeovers between styles and size runs.

Labour-heavy lines

Waiting for people is a big, often hidden, loss.

Moulding cycles

Sole moulding has fixed cycles that are easy to lose track of.

On your shop floor

What Nisthora connects to and measures.

Machines

  • Cutting presses and CNC cutters
  • Stitching machines
  • Sole moulding machines
  • Lasting machines
  • Cementing and pressing
  • Finishing and packing

Readings

  • Pairs or pieces completed
  • Run / stop signal
  • Moulding cycle count and time
  • Mould temperature
  • Rejected pieces
  • Energy use

Typical stop reasons

  • Style changeover
  • Die or mould change
  • Waiting for material
  • Waiting for operator
  • Needle or thread break
  • Quality check

These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.

Traceability

None needed

No rule requires lot tracing here. Nisthora still records each run behind the scenes, so you can look back when you need to.

A day with Nisthora

A footwear plant shows each sole-moulding machine's cycles on the shop floor board. A machine running slow cycles is spotted in the first hour, not at the end of the day.

Example for illustration.
