From photo to .mdv in four steps
No manual data entry, no dialog-by-dialog clicking. KnitOS agents do the programming; your team reviews and runs the machine.
- 01
Upload two photos
A photo of the finished garment and a photo of your construction (BAI) sheet — hand-drawn or printed.
- 02
AI reads and decodes
Agents read measurements, shaping steps such as 2-2=7, rib counts and stripe sequences, and cross-check that every total closes.
- 03
M1plus builds the pattern
The licensed Stoll M1plus is driven end to end: shape, colours, cut-out, expansion and technical processing.
- 04
Checked, then ready
A Sintral Check must report Syntax OK and Simulation OK before a file is called machine-ready. Download the .mdv and run.

Built for knitwear factories
Not a demo toy: the agents and the library behind KnitOS were shaped by a professional with twenty years in the knitting industry.
Colours and stripes from the photo
Measures stripe bands on the garment photo and converts them into exact knitting rows.
Drives the real M1plus
No imitation file formats. Every file is written by your own licensed Stoll software.
Sintral-verified output
Nothing is called ready until the Sintral Check reports no errors.
Trained by a 20-year specialist
The agents and the pattern library were shaped by a knitting professional with two decades in the industry.
Humans stay in charge
Your programmers review, adjust and decide. KnitOS removes the repetitive clicking, not the craft.
The game has changed
One click. A complete Stoll program.

The inputs, the result and the story behind it.
Questions, answered
What do I need to provide?
Two photos: one of the garment and one of the construction (BAI) sheet. Size, machine and gauge come from the sheet or from your settings.
Which machines and software does it support?
KnitOS drives Stoll M1plus on your own licence. Machine and gauge — for example CMS ADF 16 W at E7.2 — are selected per job.
Is the file really ready for the machine?
Every file is built in M1plus and verified with Sintral Check (Syntax OK and Simulation OK). Your operator still makes the final call before knitting.
Does it replace our programmers?
No. The final decision and the creativity stay with people. KnitOS takes over the repetitive work so your team can focus on design and on new styles.
Which garment pieces can it build?
Each piece — sleeve, front, back, collar — is built as its own .mdv, with shaping, ribs and stripes. Ask us about your specific styles.
How do we get started?
Send us a sample garment photo and its BAI sheet. We will run it and show you the result and the Sintral report.
See it on your own garment
Send a garment photo and its construction sheet. We will show you the .mdv and the Sintral report.
