Abstract EN
Colour matching between carded and finished fibres is an important challenge for textile industry.
The straightforward approach for mixing together some differently coloured fibres in order to obtain a blend of a desired colour is to perform a trial and error approach starting from a given colour recipe and optimizing it with several attempts.
Unfortunately, dyeing process so as the carding procedure may result in a carded fibre whose colour is different from the desired one.
As a consequence textile companies have to modify the original recipe in order to reduce the gap between the colour of the final product and the desired one.
The present work describes a model able to simulate the colour mixing of fibres in order to assess the best recipe.
The model consists in two modules: a “prediction module” predicts the colour of a blend obtained by mixing together several fibres; an “optimization module” is used to optimize the final recipe.
The devised system has been tested for optimizing the recipe of a set of 200 blends.
The mean error in predicting the blend colour is about 15% with a variance of 0.165.
The time for optimizing the recipe is reduced by 92%.
