Uster To Host Webinar On Raw Material Management

Raw material management is a high priority area for Uster and its clear from FiberQ, part of the new Uster 360Q suite of pioneering solutions. It’s also underlined by a second webinar scheduled for early November.

The Uster ‘Think Quality’ approach makes FiberQ unique and it’s the central theme of the Uster raw material management webinar series.

Uster’s second webinar is titled ‘How raw material data can boost profit in spinning’. It focuses on how spinners can apply Uster solutions to address today’s raw material management challenges and boost their profitability.

The webinar will explain how data can be translated into insights for improvements in raw material procurement and production.

Uster FiberQ solution allows cotton classification data from HVI to be automatically uploaded to the Uster 360Q Platform. From there it’s easy to create optimum laydowns.

“Even without large raw material inventory and with basic textile know-how, mills can achieve consistent and reliable laydowns for long-term quality consistency and trouble-free production,” says Stratos Fragkotsinos, Head of Product Management for Mill Management Solutions at Uster.

One of the general issues is the lack of objective measurement data to start making sound decisions on purchasing or utilisation of cotton.

Despite the high impact of instrument data, not all mills invest in this valuable equipment. In order to address the investment priority challenge, Uster HVI is now more accessible in selected countries through a subscription model, subject to conditions.

With Uster HVI, higher sample testing and achieving objective, data-driven raw material sourcing and utilisation will now be possible for a wider segment of the market.

FiberQ can lead to higher quality consistency with minimum waste and mixing costs. The fact is that 65-75 percent of production cost is for raw material.

“So, spinners will readily understand the impact of the Uster raw material management solution,” the Swiss company said in a press release.

Raw material management was 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 ultimately could not offer optimum results.

Uster FiberQ works with powerful software, analyzing fiber data from available inventories and creating consistent and reliable laydowns for optimum yarn quality and performance.
