Our outlook on Industry 4.0
Driven by our passion for innovation and growth, we launched the Lectra 4.0 strategy in 2017 to establish leadership in this field by 2030.
We believe Industry 4.0 bridges the gap between consumers and factories, enhancing precision and flexibility in the design-to-production process.
Whether discussing “smart manufacturing,” the industry of the future, or the intelligent factory, the digitization of industry always aims to optimize manufacturing processes for increased production, higher quality, faster output, greater environmental sustainability, and reduced costs. Various models outline six key steps to achieve these objectives.
