In a landmark collaboration, Arzignano-based BAUCE, and Luxembourg-based HIDEXE have agreed to deliver integrated solutions tailored for large global tanneries. This partnership emphasizes a shared commitment to provide comprehensive solutions tailored to every requirement, whether it involves building new cutting-edge facilities, or enhancing and modernizing existing installations.
HIDEXE is a pioneering force in SaaS technology tailored explicitly for tanneries, offering a range of innovations from autonomous visual AI inspections (NHQ or Numeric Hide Quality) to automated procurement solutions.
HIDEXE's offerings complement BAUCE's solutions, enhancing quality control, procurement efficiency and traceability in leather production.
In particular, the collaborative integration of NHQ, HIDEXE's AI inspection module, with BAUCE's sammying machine installations promises streamlined operations and optimized performance.
NHQ's ability to rapidly and accurately detect virtually all known hide defects, measure them instantly, and grade them based on adjustable grading algorithms transforms modern sammying machines into a crucial early point in the tannery production process. This ensures that only properly selected hides continue in the production process, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste of water, electricity, chemicals, human labor, and, notably, reducing or eliminating scrap waste.
In addition to its innovative NHQ module, HIDEXE brings to the table patented technology for numbering and barcode printing/marking of wet blue and wet white hides, providing tanneries with a cost-efficient solution for enhanced traceability, designed to withstand soaking processes.
As BAUCE and HIDEXE deepen their collaboration, they are poised to offer even more groundbreaking solutions tailored for large global tanneries. By combining HIDEXE's cutting-edge tech solutions with BAUCE's expertise in leather production machinery, the partnership aims to drive further innovation and efficiency in the tannery industry, setting new standards of excellence and sustainability.
