Uster helps spinners cut waste, boost profits

Uster is displaying its FiberQ and RSO 3D systems at ITM 2024 being held in Turkey from June 4 to 8, 2024. Spinners looking to boost yarn production profitability can significantly reduce waste and improve quality with these technologies.

Raw materials make up most of a yarn producer's costs. FiberQ, a complete raw material utilization solution, can save mills 0.5 per cent to two per cent on waste. This translates to substantial savings, like $255,000 per year for a typical mill. FiberQ uses data analysis and expert knowledge to optimize raw material sourcing and use.

FiberQ combines software, hardware, and textile expertise. Spinners have reported significant quality improvements, including elimination of barré faults and a 25 per cent increase in IPI quality.

Uster RSO 3D combines three quality measurement systems for unparalleled control. It monitors yarn quality at each spindle, identifying and ejecting poor quality cops before winding. This reduces winder stops and waste.

Uster's data-driven solutions replace outdated methods that rely on experience and spreadsheets. By using Uster's technology, spinners can optimize processes, ensure consistent quality, and achieve long-term profitability.
