“There used to be no yarn is given to the needle in stitch so, that created a gap. Now usually two stitches are used and the customer wants to cut in between these stitches. We have a variety of different stitches and conventional sensors have difficulties in detect every stitch.”
Saying that with the new sensor they gave customers the opportunity of adapting the sensor, Baumann emphasized this capacity’s importance in the market. Indicating that operator needs to have background to play part in the process, Baumann explained they also provide support to their customers in that matter.
Remarking that the stitch sensor brought to Chinese market for the first time at ITMA ASIA+CITME, had its first installation in Turkey-Çorlu, Baumann also added that it is tested in Indonesia and China before going to the market. Baumann summarized this process as such; “We performed almost ten installations in Indonesia and China. We chose these areas because of high temperature, high humidity and less strained operator use. If a product works there, it can work anywhere.”
