Versalis Digital Marking: Smart, connected leather marking

Versalis Digital Marking, an integral part of a Versalis Automotive cutting room, transforms leather processing and cutting operations by replacing chalk marking with a fully digital process. It makes previously unavailable data—such as hide quality, operator performance, and defect mapping—accessible and actionable. This data-driven approach accelerates decision-making, improves traceability, and supports sustainability goals.

• Optimized hide use
  Versalis Digital Marking scans each hide upon arrival, enabling creation of a digital twin that includes information such as usable surface area and quality metrics. Hide quality is matched to part type, ensuring optimal use.

   

•  Reduced rejection of parts
  Precise, non-destructive digital marking replaces chalk, eliminating marks that could lead to rejection of cut-parts. 

   

• Increased cutting precision
  Automated hide repositioning ensures perfect alignment—even on irregular hides—for flawless accuracy and repeatability.

   

• Controlled costs
  Advanced algorithms optimize nesting and reduce scrap, delivering significant material savings and predictable budgets.

   

• Empowered workforce
  By automating defect marking and grading, Versalis frees operators from repetitive manual tasks. This reduces fatigue, improves consistency, and allows teams to focus on higher-value activities, boosting overall productivity
