Lectra's Innovations Highlighted at the Techtextil Show

The Techtextil show will bring together technical textiles manufacturers in Frankfurt, Germany from June 12 to 14 under the theme "focusing on innovation." Lectra will present its new-generation VectorTechTex automated cutting system at this exhibition.

"In a sector in which innovation is a major stake, Lectra has always focused on bringing high performance solutions for the conception, industrialization and cutting of industrial fabrics," said Roy Shurling, Director of Lectra's worldwide automotive and transportation markets. "Our new offering, launched earlier this year, is one of the most successful examples."

The new-generation VectorTechTex: power with intelligence

Faster, more powerful, and more economical, the VectorTechTexFX benefits from Lectra's intensive R&D efforts to provide manufacturers with the productivity and reactivity they need to preserve their competitive advantage. Cutting precision and traceability are essential for companies processing industrial fabrics, and the VectorTechTexFX is perfectly adapted to these constraints. The new piloting software allows for a reduction of material consumption and optimizes markers and cutting quality.

It is user friendly, provides process security, and features an integrated smart maintenance system to ensure maximum performance and production availability. It provides warning alerts to prompt maintenance actions before failures can occur, thus limiting the need for intervention and guaranteeing maximum availability of the cutting system. The piloting software also offers performance and activity reports that make the cutting system's integration within the production site more efficient and reliable.

Adding value to the entire process

Lectra will also present its software offering that cover the entire product development process. DesignConcept TechTex provides realistic simulations to facilitate the analysis of product feasibility, finished product quality, and costs, thus enabling companies to make key decisions in the product development phase and thereby minimize costs. Associated with pattern design, marker making and specification software applications, it ensures global management of product development through a complete software suite backed by a value-added service offering to optimize processes and guarantee quality.

"Working in close cooperation with our customers, Lectra's innovation policy has enabled the company to develop a complete, coherent solution which ensures productivity, flexibility and secure processes, the most important requirement of this business," continued Roy Shurling. "We are proud to present it at the Techtextil show."
