To keep up with growing volumes of leather seats and interiors produced in increasingly smaller series, Gruppo Mastrotto turned to Lectra to digitalize its automotive leather-cutting value chain worldwide.
Challenge
Gruppo Mastrotto’s automotive business unit needed to enhance its manufacturing flexibility to meet evolving customer requirements brought about by rapidly changing consumer expectations. The tannery sought to optimize workflow and processes at its high-intensity automotive manufacturing plants, located on three different continents.
Solution
Thanks to implementation of Lectra’s Versalis® digital leather-cutting solution, the tannery now benefits from flexible automated cutting and Industry 4.0-ready production processes. The increased productivity and improved material usage of its modernized cutting rooms enable the company to stay apace of continually evolving customer requirements.
