Our outlook on Industry 4.0

Our outlook on Industry 4.0

We are strong advocates of Industry 4.0. We believe that Industry 4.0 bridges the gap between the consumer and the factory, bringing precision and flexibility to the design-to-production process.  

It entails establishing connectivity between factories, points of sale and marketing activities, digitally transforming the product lifecycle as a whole. It empowers you to build manufacturing resilience, by allowing you to adopt a data-driven, proactive approach to improving performance and achieving operational excellence.

With new technologies which emerge regularly, it's now time for digital technology in all forms to make its mark in factories. Connected objects, Big Data and data analysis, cloud, virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming manufacturing processes in all sectors helping to improve both productivity and working conditions for operators.

Lectra, an Industry 4.0 pioneer

Launched in 2017, the Lectra 4.0 strategy aims to position Lectra as a key Industry 4.0 player on its strategic markets by 2030. 

Our cutting equipment and software benefits from the power of the cloud, big data, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to take advantage of data available at each stage of the value creation chain in which we operate. This enables our customers to digitize their cutting rooms even further and make them more agile, intelligent and powerful, by connecting upstream and downstream production processes. 

Cloud industrie 4.0

In addition, fashion companies can rely on our software to design and manage their collection lifecycles more collaboratively, compare in real time their offers with those of their competitors and automate the updating and publication of product information on online sales channels. We also offer a software platform that allows them to ensure reliable, secure and fully digital material mapping.
