Uster presents FiberQ and RSO 3D at ITM 2024
Spinners looking to make successful investments for environmentally friendly mill operations can look into RSO 3D and Uster FiberQ. The ROI on these two solutions is appealing. Additionally, by reducing waste and increasing revenues, they assist spinners in managing the most costly phases of the mill process.
Extensive raw material management can reduce waste by 0.5% to 2%, according to field testing. Since every spinner seeks to maximize profits from yarn production, careful consideration of this evidence is warranted. All the information will be accessible at ITM 2024, where specialists on Uster will greet guests at Booth 714B in Hall 7. Here, we highlight a few of these systems’ most alluring features. For instance, spinners are advised to continue reading if barré errors and uniformity of quality are causing them significant headaches.
Manage the big cost factor
Between 65% and 75% of the price of producing cotton yarn is spent on raw materials. Even a small reduction in waste can have a big impact: a mill with 50,000 spindles can save up to USD 255,000 (€ 239,000) a year in costs by using Ne 30 yarn, which costs 1.8 USD per kilogram of cotton. With Uster FiberQ, a comprehensive raw material usage solution, spinners can take use of this savings potential while maintaining everyday operations, quality consistency, profitability, and future growth.
Cotton specifications, necessary yarn quality, and inventory levels must all be considered when choosing where to get raw materials and how to use them. The process is made simpler by FiberQ software, and integrated Uster Application Intelligence breaks through complexity to maximize potential.
Utilizing robust software, Uster FiberQ analyzes fiber data from available inventories to produce dependable and consistent laydowns for the best possible quality and performance. Uster HVI1000 measurements of trustworthy raw materials serve as the foundation. The Uster fiber categorization and analysis solution is available via a subscription model with FiberQ.
Think Quality next level
Three components make up FiberQ. It blends textile expertise, state-of-the-art gear, and software that is powered by data. Thus, new avenues for quality and profitability are made possible by the extensive global expertise and experience of Uster professionals. Knowledge of textiles puts all the capabilities of data, software, and equipment into the framework of a mill. In order to expedite the time it takes for testing to yield meaningful results, Uster textile experts teach staff members at the mill.
In actuality, FiberQ’s quality guarantee has already been demonstrated. Significant quality increases are reported by spinners. For instance, with the installation of the FiberQ system, there were no barré failures. There was more consistency and a level of >25% in the total IPI quality improvements.
Potential in the most cost-intensive process
A large number of Uster clients are certain that making quality investments would boost profits. Another safe investment in the mill’s future is Uster RSO 3D. The Uster Quantum 4.0 yarn clearers, the Uster Sentinel ring spinning optimization system, and a linked winding machine with spindle recognition are cleverly combined. For textile factories, it amounts to a special kind of preventive quality control. The ultimate objectives of process optimization and traceability are met by these three aspects of quality measurement in a single system.
Individual data for each spindle enables quality mapping throughout the ring spinning machine, and any poor quality production is indicated right there. Outlier cops are ejected through direct machine intervention, before winding. This significantly reduces winder stops and clearer cuts. The system also guides operators to the exact position where an issue is identified, enabling fast action for minimum losses – and maximum profitability.
Typically Uster
Spinners know they need to adopt innovative techniques and technologies to meet business challenges and ensure long-term sustainability and profits. Previously, quality management has been largely based on the experience of mill personnel, with available tools at the level of Excel files. This resulted in low utilization of data, because of the complicated and time-consuming processes – which even then could not offer best results.
Data-enabled software is the key to progress and success. Uster offers reliable measuring systems and powerful software, analyzing data from different sources for optimum yarn quality and performance, every day.
