Zünd and partners redefine leather processing

At the recent Simac trade fair in Milan, Zünd, together with its partners Mind and Mindhive Global, presented the Dectura workflow, which makes leather detection, classification and cutting even more precise, faster and more reliable in a fully interconnected system. The trade fair visitors were able to witness the interaction between AI, machine vision and digital cutting systems live at the fair.

Until now, the evaluation and qualification of leather has been a critical process, mainly manual, subject to errors and often with inconsistent results.

With Dectura, leading technology companies – Zünd, Mind and Mindhive Global – present an innovation that revolutionises leather cutting. Thanks to artificial intelligence, image-based quality control, the most advanced nesting and cutting software and powerful digital cutting systems, Dectura guarantees a highly automated and standardised process.

The leather processing line essentially consists of Mindhive FinishSelect″, which, with the help of AI, is able to capture, evaluate and measure leathers in just a few seconds, then using the MindCUT software developed by Portuguese partner Mind and the digital cutting technology of the Zünd cutter.

For leather processing companies, Dectura represents a quantum leap towards intelligent, data-driven processes that are perfectly reproducible and fully integrated digitally, with consistent quality over time.
