NHQ001 is the world's leading AI-powered inspection and grading system for the leather industry.
Through a unique technological alliance between HIDEXE, Dr. Schenk, and BAUCE, it combines high-precision optics with intelligent software to fully digitalize the leather value chain.
Why NHQ001?
Key Benefits at a Glance
1. Superior Precision via MIDA Technology Unlike conventional 2D systems, NHQ001 utilizes Dr. Schenk’s patented MIDA technology (Multiple Image Defect Analysis). By using up to eight different illumination angles simultaneously, the system reliably distinguishes between genuine structural defects and harmless contamination. No False Positives: While 2D systems often trigger false alarms due to dirt or loose leather fibers (with error rates up to 30%), NHQ001 reduces this risk to less than 2%. Maximum Yield: Grade your leather objectively and avoid unnecessary downgrading caused by surface debris.
2. Full Control with GRID & User-Defined Grading With NHQ001, you remain in total control of your operations. Custom Grading Criteria: Create your own grading standards and adjust them within minutes to meet new customer requirements. GRID Module: Every change to your settings is logged in an audit-proof manner, making it fully traceable at all times. You can revert to any previous configuration instantly and without effort.
3. Autonomy & Data Sovereignty Your production should not depend on an internet connection. Offline Operation: NHQ001 operates completely autonomously and independent of the internet. Production stops due to IT outages are a thing of the past. You Own Your Data: Cloud uploads only occur at your explicit request—for example, to perform digital data synchronization with customers or suppliers.
4. Digital Logistics & Supplier Monitoring NHQ001 optimizes your entire supply chain: Virtual Re-Grading: Recipients of your NHQ protocols can use the NHQ software to digitally re-sort and evaluate the delivered goods according to their own criteria—without a new scan and without ever touching the hide physically. Inbound Quality Control: Use NHQ001 for seamless supplier monitoring. Compare delivered quality objectively against your specifications and generate precise performance profiles.
5. Manufacturer-Independent 3-Day Installation Time is money. NHQ001 is designed as a plug-and-play solution. Universal Integration: Whether integrated into new BAUCE machines or retrofitted into existing systems from other manufacturers, commissioning is completed within just 72 hours.
