On-demand production a focal point of
Industry 4.0 demonstrations at CISMA, Asia’s
major garment and textile technology exhibition
Paris, September 26, 2019
– Lectra unveiled its flagship Industry 4.0
solutions for Asia—Fashion On Demand by Lectra and Furniture On
Demand by Lectra—as well as the new VectorAutomotive
iP9 fabric-cutting solution for automotive seating and
interiors this week, at the 2019 edition of the China International
Sewing Machinery and Accessories (CISMA) exhibition in
Shanghai.
Under the banner “Lectra 4.0: Digitalizing and
Connecting Your Value Chain”, Lectra asserted its leadership as the
trusted advisor to fashion, furniture and automotive companies
undertaking digital transformation. Smart, connected supply chains
are at the core of the fourth industrial revolution. In all
industries using textiles, the intelligent factory requires a high
degree of flexibility, maximum efficiency and optimal planning
processes for a variety of production types, from mass production
to on-demand production. These requirements are paramount to the
future success of companies competing for business on Asian
markets.
In 2017, China accounted for 46% of global
furniture production and is currently the world's premiere apparel
exporter. With nearly 60% of the world’s millennials living in
Asia, sustained demand for personalized, rapidly delivered products
continues to drive the trend toward mass customization. Product
personalization is rapidly becoming a top-of-mind concern for
fashion and furniture industry decision-makers, as well as the
optimization of small-batch runs.
Launched for the first time in Asia at CISMA
2019, pioneering end-to-end solutions Fashion On Demand by Lectra
and Furniture On Demand by Lectra automate the complete process
from order processing to fabric cutting. Suited to the respective
needs of each industry, the two solutions comprise Lectra’s Digital
Cutting Platform and single-ply fabric cutting solution Virga®.
They allow users to manage their workflows seamlessly for both
small series and customized order production. This enables
manufacturers to readily switch from mass-production to small-batch
runs, as well as optimize the product personalization process in
the cutting room.
Because fabric can account for up to 60-70% of
garment costs, Lectra has released additional versions of its cloud
applications, to help fashion manufacturers in Asia make more
informed development and bidding decisions. Quick Estimate
generates fabric consumption simulations in seconds for accurate
profitability projections throughout product development. During
the RFQ process, Quick Nest marker-making software makes it
possible to win new contracts by responding faster, with
competitive pricing. Quick Nest furthermore brings speed and
agility to production through parallel processing of marker
lists.
CISMA 2019 also presented an opportune occasion
for Lectra to reveal its new VectorAutomotive iP9 fabric-cutting
solution. It is the first solution on the market to enable
zero-buffer cutting on a wide variety of materials. For automotive
suppliers, this amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars in
material savings annually when compared to other solutions, an
increasingly important pathway to operational excellence.
To enable CISMA participants to project
themselves into Lectra’s vision of smart factory cutting
operations, Lectra captivated audiences with demonstrations of its
latest advanced-technology solutions.
“Despite the challenges currently faced by
China, it remains the world's fastest growing major economy,”
observes Javier Garcia, President, Asia-Pacific, Lectra. “Lectra
has long had a finger on the pulse of Asia’s markets. We are ready
to support manufacturers operating here as they meet Industry 4.0
objectives as fast as technology allows.”
