French integrated technology solution provider Lectra has recently launched a new version of the Diamino marker-making equipment for the fashion, furniture and automotive industries that can optimise existing markers and puts manufacturers firmly on the path towards increased automation.
According to the company, the Diamino V5R4 is ideal for manufacturers seeking simplicity, speed, and efficiency in marker-making and material consumption optimisation activities, during the costing, prototyping, and production phases.
To overcome economic challenges and competition, manufacturers have to constantly improve their competitiveness by offering their customers high quality, creative products at a reasonable price. Material represents a significant portion of the cost to make finished products.
Buying materials is now a major expense for manufacturers in the fashion, automotive, and furniture sectors and for companies that use industrial fabrics. Marker-making is therefore a key lever for evaluating and guaranteeing the profitability of a product at a very early stage and improving its cost price. The time savings, streamlined processes, and material optimisation offered by Diamino V5R4 give our customers a competitive edge. This advanced technology solution is fully integrated into Lectra s strategy of meeting the specific needs of each market, explains Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO.
The new equipment also optimises material consumption at the development and production stages, using two different methods depending on the material to be cut and the complexity of the model.
Interactive marker-making is based on a manual method, while automated marker-making is managed entirely by Diamino and its powerful algorithms. These two methods can also be combined for more intricate markers. CITATION http://www.chinaleather.org/eng/show.php?itemid=6059
