Advanced technology for sustainable production goals

Lectra's Vector Automotive iP6 and iP9 are designed to optimize material usage, reducing waste by 5% compared to their previous best-in-class solution and 15% compared to competitor solutions. 

This precision represents hundreds of thousands of dollars saved annually and tons of CO₂ emissions avoided. 

Hence, Vector iP sets new standards for resource efficiency in automotive manufacturing.

“Eco-design is at the heart of our projects.”

Product Owner, Lectra

“Eco-design is at the heart of our projects. The savings we bring serve environment and our customer performance at the same time. The productivity of our systems is constantly increased, which is positive from an environmental standpoint since more car sets produced at the same time means a reduced impact for each produced unit”, adds Francois Destriau.

Equipped with an optimized vaccum system, the Vector iP solution contributes to environmental sustainability and reduced operational costs. 

The solution increases the lifespan of consumables and parts, multiplying the blade lifespan and preventive maintenance kit periodicity by 2, consequently saving costs, increasing equipment uptime, and reducing environmental impact. 

Vector iP is built with an error-proof system, focusing on operator safety and comfort. 

Real-time alerts and active safety systems create a safer working environment, while ergonomic design and a user-friendly interface reduce strain and improve operator well-being. 

These features support a healthier and more productive workforce, which is essential for maintaining high performance. 

Vector iP utilizes the latest in cutting-edge technology to help automotive manufacturers meet production demands with minimal environmental impact. 

The near-zero buffer cutting technology achieves precise cutting while significantly reducing waste.

“This represents a new standard for material savings.”
