Uster Showcases Smart Quality Solutions at ITMA Asia 2025
Uster introduces new 360Q innovations, Fiber2Yarn, Fabriq Vision 2, and AFIS 6, advancing data-driven textile quality and sustainability.
At ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, Uster Technologies unveils smart solutions for fiber-to-fabric optimization, integrating AI, analytics, and next-gen inspection systems.
Uster Technologies is set to make headlines at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore, presenting the latest advancements from its expanding Uster 360Q ecosystem. The company will showcase new digital solutions, fiber testing tools, and fabric inspection technologies designed to enhance mill management, process control, and overall fabric quality optimization.
Expanding the Uster 360Q Universe
First introduced at ITMA Milan 2023, the Uster 360Q platform has become a cornerstone for data-driven quality management in spinning mills. Its module Uster FiberQ, now a proven solution for raw material optimization, forms the basis of the company’s next innovation: Uster Fiber2Yarn.
This new system bridges fiber data (from Uster HVI) with yarn quality results (from Uster Quantum yarn clearers), giving spinners unique insights into how raw material variations affect final product performance. Available in two visualization modes—correlations over time and across mixings—Fiber2Yarn enables mills to refine blend recipes, improve process consistency, and achieve higher-quality outputs.
The Uster 360Q Platform continues to evolve as a cloud-based digital hub that integrates Uster’s tools, services, and AI-driven intelligence. It offers:
- Centralized access to Uster applications and alerts
- AI and machine learning features via Uster Intelligence
- A modernized Uster Academy with new e-learning tools, chatbot assistance, and Wiki access
- The updated Uster Statistics web app and integrated content from the Uster Insights App
Together, these developments enhance agility, reduce costs, and empower spinners to make smarter, data-backed production decisions.
Smart Fabric Inspection with Uster Fabriq Vision 2
Uster will debut Fabriq Vision 2, the next generation of its automated fabric inspection system. Built with the advanced Smart Vision Camera 3, it ensures high-performance image processing even under challenging conditions.
The system provides real-time monitoring, simplified operation through AI-guided style creation, and intuitive visual adjustments for faster setup. Its Super Inspection Mode guarantees maximum defect detection accuracy and process safety, preventing production errors and fabric claims while improving yield.
Advanced Fiber Testing with Uster AFIS 6
Presented to the Asian audience for the first time, the Uster AFIS 6 represents the latest evolution in fiber analysis. Capable of testing both cotton and synthetic fibers in one unit, AFIS 6 supports better fiber process control, leading to improved yarn quality and reduced waste.
The device seamlessly connects with Uster Quality Expert and integrates with Uster Statistics. Featuring a new multilingual interface and advanced reporting capabilities, it simplifies data interpretation and enhances user experience for global mill operators.
