Dectura: Flawless Automated Defect Detection to Perfect Cutting

The AI-powered quality assessment system Mindhive FinishSelect™ revolutionizes finished leather inspection, detecting and mapping defects with 0.17 mm precision in just 15 seconds per hide. Advanced machine learning algorithms identify 20+ defect types while customer-specific Natural Feature Guide (NFG) rules ensure tailored grading standards. This cutting-edge solution delivers digital defect mapping with unmatched classification accuracy, comprehensive quality grades, and real-time analysis — processing 1000 up to 1920 hides per 8-hour shift.

MindCUT is an advanced digital cutting software, developed for leather and textile cutting with a Zünd cutter. It utilizes defect data from Mindhive FinishSelect™ through a native interface for smart and efficient nesting of cut parts. For best nesting results, MindCUT makes use of Mindhive FinishSelectTM data and is capable of optimized multi-hide nesting. The digital cutting software offers comprehensive production planning tools and analytics features.

Zünd stands for precision, innovation, Swiss quality and longevity. For more than 40 years, Zünd manufactures digital cutting systems in Switzerland, with an existing customer base of more than 15’000 customers worldwide. Thanks to the worldwide sales and service network of Zünd subsidiaries and trusted authorized resellers, the best possible consulting experience throughout the sales process as well as the best and most responsive after-sales support are guaranteed.
