You cannot fully optimize what you cannot continuously measure. In the Absorbent Hygiene Industry, some of the most important performance metrics are hidden inside the core. Not on the surface. Not visible to every Inspection system. Not always captured by weight. For example: ▪️ Super Absorbent (SAP) can move toward one zone ▪️ The core can become less uniform ▪️ And there can be zones where there is no SAP at all This is why we focus on making these hidden points measurable through an intuitive interface where teams can instantly visualize: ➡️ SAP distribution maps. ➡️ Grammage variation. ➡️ Core uniformity. The goal is to give quality teams useful data they can actually use: to compare, understand, and make data driven decisions. #engineering #bigdata #AI #qualitycontrol

Quality of life also depends on access to reliable hygiene products. In industries like absorbent hygiene manufacturing, critical metrics that cannot be seen from the outside or with every inspection technology can directly affect the user experience. Uneven Super Absorbent polymer (SAP) distribution, missing SAP zones , or hidden defects may impact product quality, comfort, and protection. Improving how these products are inspected and controlled helps manufacturers deliver: ➡️ More reliable absorbent performance ➡️ Better protection against leakage ➡️ Greater comfort and consistency ➡️ Products people can depend on every day Because quality control is not only about meeting production specifications. It is also about the babies, women, and adults who rely on these products.

Two diapers can look exactly the same. Same weight, Same dimensions, Same overall appearance. But inside the core, how Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is distributed can tell a different story. And this has a direct impact on the product's performance: A slight shift in SAP distribution, an area with too little SAP, or an uneven core can all affect the product's absorbency and quality, even when nothing appears wrong from the outside. That's why relying only on visual inspection, weight checks or sampling doesn't always tell the full story. 100% inline inspection makes these hidden variations visible, allowing manufacturers to verify every single product instead of making assumptions based on a few samples. ➡️ Less guesswork. ➡️ More data. ➡️ Better decisions. That's the kind of data we help manufacturers access every day. #qualitycontrol #SAP #diapermanufacturing #inspection #processcontrol

Recent market data shows renewed upward pressure on Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) prices. In Q1 2026, SAP price indices increased by 10.6% quarter-on-quarter in South Korea and by 9.9% in the US. In Germany, reported prices reached $3,722 per metric ton in March 2026, compared with $3,598 in December 2025. 👉 This creates additional pressure for the absorbent hygiene industry, as (SAP) is one of the core materials used in diapers, period pads, and adult incontinence products. In fact, hygiene and personal care applications are estimated to account for around 70% of global SAP demand in 2026. This highlights an important point: Super Absorbent (SAP) optimization is not just a technical topic. Because it is used across such high production volumes, even a small improvement can have a real impact on material consumption, waste and production costs. However, using less SAP shouldn't compromise the product's performance. ➡️ That is why manufacturers need the right data and tools to use it efficiently. They need to know: 🔵 How much SAP is actually present in the core 🔵 How it is distributed across the product 🔵 Whether some zones are under- or over-dosed 🔵 How stable the process remains over time When teams can see and measure these parameters inside the core, they can make better decisions: Better quality. Less waste. Better material control. More stable and optimized production processes.

In diaper production, manufacturers produce huge volumes every day. But some critical metrics are still checked only partially: Main quality control methods include: ▪️ Surface-level inspection ▪️ Total absorbent weight ▪️ Lab checks after production These controls are helpful, but they do not show what is happening inside the core. ➡️ Is Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) well distributed? ➡️ Are some zones under-dosed? ➡️ Is there the correct amount of SAP needed? If quality teams only see part of the data, they can only control partially the product. The next step is simple: Empower teams with tools that allow them to measure 100% of production and access critical quality metrics in real time, directly on the production line. This is how we help manufacturers make data driven decisions and ensure product quality & efficiency. #engineering #bigdata #qualitycontrol #process

Our booth is buzzing at NextRise (넥스트라이즈) in Korea 🇰🇷! We were pleased to welcome the French delegation 🇫🇷 to our booth, including Philippe Bertoux, Ambassador of France in Korea, alongside representatives from the FKCCI French Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Business France. Supported by the EIC - European Innovation Council global expansion programme to Korea, NextRise (넥스트라이즈) is a great opportunity to discuss how our #terahertz and #AI solutions can enable new inspection use cases across multiple industries: 🔹 Absorbent Hygiene • 100% inline and inlab inspection of Super Absorbent distribution and grammage 🔹 Pharma & Cosmetics • Foreign-body detection • Fill-level and seal inspection 🔹 Battery & Semiconductor • Non-destructive inspection for quality and process control 🔹 Packaging & Recycling • Packaging integrity inspection • Material identification and sorting optimization ...and many more applications in space, textile, and security. We are proud to see the growing interest from manufacturers and institutions exploring how TiHive's advanced #Terahertz inspection systems can help improve product quality, optimize processes, and unlock new opportunities for #innovation.✨ If you're attending NextRise (넥스트라이즈), stop by our booth! We'd be happy to discuss your challenges and explore potential use cases together.
