Uster, the leading expert in data gathering and analysis for the textile industry, has introduced a game-changing evolution in spinning. By combining their quality measurement instruments with sophisticated software, Uster is empowering spinners to achieve unprecedented levels of both quality and profitability.
At the heart of this revolution is the FiberQ system, which ensures absolute raw material consistency, unlocking maximum profits for spinners. The Uster Quality Expert complements FiberQ by monitoring quality throughout production, further optimising profitability.
The success of Uster’s approach is backed by positive feedback from leading mills worldwide. Practical mill experience has demonstrated the advantages of Uster’s systems, with real-world facts and figures confirming the improvements in quality and profitability.
Accurate collection and analysis of complex data is applied at every production stage, thanks to Uster's Quality Expert and 360Q with FiberQ. This ensures added value and optimised processing throughout the mill, ultimately leading to higher profits.
Stratos Fragkotsinos, Uster’s Head of Product Management Mill Management Solutions, highlights the importance of FiberQ and Uster Quality Expert working in harmony to improve the overall mill operation. Fragkotsinos emphasises that with an optimal raw material management solution, achieving consistent yarn production of the right quality becomes more accessible and affordable. Similarly, with reliable and consistent in-mill production processes, even the best raw material solution will reach its maximum potential.
Uster’s software solutions are crucial in driving quality control progress, particularly in the spinning segment, which involves multiple complex process stages. Reliable data collation and analysis are essential for spinning firms to operate profitably. With up to 75% of production costs attributed to raw materials, partnering with a leading expert like Uster is crucial to optimise this vital element.
Uster’s vision extends beyond its operations; it aims to develop the benefits of its Think Quality concept to the wider textile community. Their Quality Expert software solution, now known as UQX, delivers uncompromising standards in the ultimate analysis, Value Modules, and fault prevention mechanisms.
The benefits of UQX include optimised settings that minimise outliers and reduce waste levels. By continuously monitoring the production process, UQX ensures trouble-free production, with variations in the raw material side already minimised by Fiber’s efficiency and reliability.
Uster’s UQX has received positive feedback from mills worldwide. For an Indian spinner grappling with pilling problems, UQX’s Yarn Prognosis helped solve the issue and restore quality quickly, avoiding losses. Another well-known Pakistani spinning brand sought to optimise production routines for assured quality and managed costs. The company’s COO attests that improving product quality automatically enhanced productivity in the mill.
Installing UQX proved to be a wise decision, enabling the identification and preventing of quality outliers, troubleshooting machine and component issues, and controlling contamination. The result was significant improvements in quality consistency, productivity, and profitability.
Practical trials and mill experience have proven that Uster’s combination of FiberQ and UQX is critical to maximising profitability in spinning mills. By ensuring consistent and optimum
input, combined with reliable quality monitoring, FiberQ and UQX enable spinning mills to achieve maximum profitability.
