YIELD COMMAND process automation
Saving energy is possible in the leather industry, too. A lot of energy is wasted in traditional drying processes involving steam and air, in particular. With our YIELD COMMAND process automation, you can cut up to 50% of your energy costs.

Process automation: YIELD COMMAND
The YIELD COMMAND process automation system is used primarily for optimal guidance of the drying process. This saves a lot of energy and there is less shrinkage. In addition to pure temperature measurement, other features can be implemented for better operation and data archiving. The process data recorded can be stored either locally or on the web (Azure or AWS).
In future, all GloboCord software versions will be equipped with an interface with our partner VISIDAT. In this way, the customer can see the current process data at any time and optimise and adjust the drying process as necessary. This means better profitability and energy savings of up to 50%.
Complete control system for existing and new dryers, including measurement and control technology
Process automation: YIELD COMMAND
Temperature measurement: OPTI THERM model
We measure the surface temperature of the leather per zone and control the temperature precisely to apply exactly the amount of heat required for the optimal results.
Waste air volume control: ECO VAC model
When the infrared radiators in the dryer are in operation, a certain volume of waste air is required to take away the vaporised water (H2O) that forms during drying. In the waste air duct, a sensor measures the relative humidity of the waste air. Frequency-controlled waste air fans regulate the waste air volume to keep it in the optimal range according to the preselected relative humidity.
Residual moisture measurement: Moisture Matic model
On leaving the drying tunnel and the cooling system, the sensor measures the residual moisture in the leather at various points along a conveyor belt. The current residual moisture measurement and the average residual moisture of the piece of leather can be seen on the display.
Operating data capture (OPC - UA)
The OPC UA server is integrated into the IPC controller. The following parameters are made available to the customer:
- Conveying speed
- Productive working time with leather
- Standby or idling mode
- Number of pieces of leather conveyed
- Leather temperature per zone
- Waste air temperature
- Relative humidity
