NEK+|BRAIN
AI-powered Automatic Leather Scanner and Nesting.
NEK+|BRAIN is an intelligent system for leather scanning and analysis, automatically detecting the material’s outline and defects.
- Less waste, fewer reworks
- Higher productivity
- Consistent quality standards
- Clearer decisions, fewer errors
- Seamless integration into your existing workflow
AI Defect Recognition
Comelz has developed a new hardware and software technology, based on artificial intelligence, capable of automatically detecting defects on hides.
In only a few seconds, using a combination of the vision technology and AI engine, all the defects are recognised on the hide.
This ensures that defects are placed only in the specified quality areas when the pieces are nested on the leather.
The Craftsman’s Precision, at Industrial Scale
The system supports both fully and semi-automatic workflows, providing the flexibility to operate autonomously or allow for manual intervention. This ensures a seamless process, including a guided review of any machine-detected defects whenever operator validation is required.
System workflow
The operator will load a hide and press a button.
Once in production, we can gather more data to further improve the system with future updates
Enhanced Quality & Workflow
- Enhanced consistency in detecting defects.
- Quality assessment is fully customer-defined, not preset by the machine.
- NEK+|BRAIN adapts to a wide range of leather types (fine-grain, embossed, suede, etc.).
- Automatic overall leather rating for incoming material evaluation.
- Saved leathers fully compatible with older machines and Comelz software; all advanced marking features supported.
You can book a NEK+|BRAIN demo at Comelz’s headquarters in Vigevano, bring your own hides, and see the machine running with its standard AI configuration.”
