English term or phrase: laydowns

Es geht um die Herstellung von Baumwollgarn:

The total nep count is the sum of fiber neps and seed coat neps. High nep counts indicate aggressive ginning, low maturity, and poor maintenance at mechanical harvesting and ginning. Ginning mills today increasingly focus on productivity rather than quality. At the same time, ginning mills have not been upgraded to match the increased volumes of cotton. This suggests that a more accurate evaluation of cottons is now advisable for spinning mills, and this can be achieved by assessing fiber neps and seed coat neps separately. This more detailed analysis provides new benefits.

Firstly, the mill can optimize ***laydowns*** to manage a specific nep component. It can also optimize the specific nep removal efficiency. The spinner can also predict more accurately the level of white spots showing in fabrics made from the yarn after dyeing.

Kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich hier "laydowns" übersetze?

Es existiert auch der Term "Gattieren". Dabei scheint es sich eher um das maschinelle Mischen auf dem Schläger zu handeln.
