Lectra, world leaders in integrated technology solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and composite materials, has launched a smart new version of its best-selling fabric-cutting solution – Vector with an intelligent iQ feature. The new version can increase productivity by up to 10 per cent with the automated efficiency of patented continuous cutting, as well as benefit from predictive maintenance.
The new intelligent Vector iQ has ‘Eclipse’ feature that allows continuous cutting as material automatically advances. Reliability and productivity enabled by these new features are essential for businesses that depend on maintaining a competitive cost per part cut and an optimized total cost of ownership. The operational excellence long targeted by automotive suppliers is now shaping best practices in the fashion and furniture manufacturing industries.
Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Lectra averred, “Vector iQ is a sophisticated yet accessible new breed of fabric-cutting solution, enabling tremendous gains in productivity and uptime, both of which are sources of value for our customers, whether they produce fashion clothing, vehicle seating or furniture. Versatile and affordable, it scales up performance to a new standard.”
