MINDHIVE GRADING
Accurately grade wet blue hides within seconds
Mindhive identifies over 20 defects and delivers grading consistency beyond human capability.
Step 1
Scan
Hides are loaded and scanned at production speed. Mindhive Grading is constructed from stainless steel and is installed over the out-feed of your wringer.
Step 2
Detect defects
High resolution cameras and Artificial Intelligence technology accurately identify defects as small as a hair follicle (.2mm) within 3 to 4 seconds. With Mindhive, human error and subjectivity is eliminated in grading.
Step 3
Grade hide
A detailed defect map, usable/cuttable hide area, hide thickness and grade of the hide is displayed on interactive touch-screens and can be communicated to PLCs and auto stackers.
