Expert 3, a highly-effective meas-
urement and analysis procedure,
based on essential data provided
by the Uster Quantum clearers.
The system is specifically designed
to help different managers in spin-
ning mills make the right choices
for best performance and profit-
ability. It does this by measuring
and analyzing every piece of data
collected from the clearers.
The Uster Quantum Expert 3 then
zooms in on the most important es-
sential details, automatically han-
dling the complex task of interpret-
ing the information and presenting
it quickly and clearly.
Uster Quantum Expert 3 is cer-
tainly a smart tool, in line with
Uster’s philosophy of simple set-
up, fast operation and clear, easy-
to-understand analysis. It can con-
trol yarn clearing parameters and
monitor for irregularities, supervise
the handling of individual articles,
and synchronize quality parame-
ters in real time at each control unit
(CCU) in the mill.
There’s no doubt that the chal-
lenges facing modern spinning
mills are becoming tougher: they
have to produce a widening vari-
ety of articles, for customers who
are ever-more demanding when it
comes to quality, delivery and cost.
The Uster Quantum Expert 3 is
smart enough to make that com-
plex job much simpler for the mill
manager. For example, data about
an article created or modified at
one CCU or at the Expert System
itself can be automatically synchro-
nized with all the other CCUs in the
network – all in real time and with
critical information displayed at the
CCUs. Not only does this guaran-
tee uniformity throughout the mill,
it also creates a useful database of
articles which can then be applied
at any CCU. Reaction times are
lightning fast, while waste is also
reduced significantly.
Making perfect sense of data flow
The Uster Quantum Expert 3
is even smarter when it comes to
data analysis. The successful Uster
Quantum 2 and Uster Quantum 3
yarn clearers produce a tremen-
dous amount of data – very useful,
but making meaningful analysis
a challenging process. It makes
perfect sense of it all with its smart
function of filtering exceptions,
a pre-installed set of reports to
suit every requirement and an in-
tuitive interface for the user. Smart
configuration is also there: Uster
Quantum Expert 3 can be set up
and running in less than 30 min-
utes and new users can become
proficient on the system within just
one hour.
Remote access is built in with the
Quantum Expert 3, so that reports
can be examined and any problem
diagnosed, 24/7 from anywhere
in the world, with links to Uster re-
sources for software updates, trou-
bleshooting, consulting and appli-
cation reporting.
“That makes the Uster Quantum
Expert 3 a real management tool,
especially since spinning mill man-
agers were involved in its develop-
ment, bringing in their needs and
expectations,” says Thomas Na-
siou, Head of Textile Technology at
Uster Technologies.
