    Abstract: A method for dyeing and/or retanning of leather objects includes providing a leather object. The leather object has been processed by at least a tanning process. The leather object is introduced into a process chamber. The leather object is subjected in the process chamber to a pressurized fluid. The pressure of the pressurized fluid is controlled to reach a supercritical state. The leather object is subjected to a dyeing agent and/or a retanning agent, which dyeing or retanning agent is dissolved and/or transported in the pressurized fluid for at least a predefined period of time while the pressurized fluid is in the supercritical state. The pressure is reduced in the process chamber. The leather object is removed from the process chamber. The pressure reduction is controlled over time.

    Abstract: A footwear manufacturing robot system includes an automated footwear manufacturing robot. A robot controller is configured to control the automated footwear manufacturing robot. A robot instructions database includes a plurality of robot manufacturing instructions. A system controller and/or the robot controller are communicatively coupled to the robot instructions database and the robot controller. The automated footwear manufacturing robot is configured to manufacture different footwear assemblies at least partially. Each of the different footwear assemblies is associated with footwear assembly identification information. The system controller is configured to select an elected manufacturing instruction of the plurality of robot manufacturing instructions based on the footwear assembly identification information. The robot controller is configured to automatically execute said elected manufacturing instruction to operate said automated footwear manufacturing robot.

    Abstract: A tanning process for tanning of animal hides in a process equipment including a tanning container, a controller, and temperature regulating equipment. The controller controls the temperature in the tanning container based on a temperature setpoint input to or established by the controller. The tanning process includes the steps of initially determining process parameters based on animal hide characteristics including at least animal hide type and animal hide weight. The process parameters include at least one of the parameters: time, temperature, start pH and end pH or any combination thereof. The tanning process of the animals hides is executed based on the process parameters in the tanning container under atmospheric pressure. The tanning process involves the addition of tanning agents to animal hides in the tanning container. The tanning involves the addition of water in an amount of less than 10% bw of the animal hides.
