Résumé : |
Process control - Recent years have seen vast improvements in process control within the tanning industry. These imporvements extend back down the supply chain to the farm and forward to the leather user.These changes stem from a better awareness of economic requirements and changes in market demands.
There is a trend for industry in general to work or conform to quality standards. These include surch managemement systems as Total Quality Management (TQM), ISO 9000 and to a lesser extend 'just in time' management. Whether you believe in these types of systems, or even in the philosophy behind them, it is likely that they are in operation with the supply chain in which you function.
Whatever the case, the leather industry is rapidly evolving from what has traditionally been considered a dirty, low tech industry to one which is dynamic and environmentally aware. The industry is utilizing the latest management methods and production techniques. As the demand for still tighter controls over processing increases, so must the technology used to monitor the processes improve. BLC is operating a number of projects which aim to develop instruments or methods for better process control. These include the use of an 'electronic nose' for the early detection of raw-stock putrefaction, a device for monitoring pH and temperature within a closed vessel, and methods for improving the consistency and quality of wet blue grading.
This paper discusses approaches being investigated at BLC to improve process control and hence serve as valuable tools for the leather sector. |
