Adopt Industry 4.0
Its advanced analytics delivers a comprehensive view of the production process to streamline cutting operations as well as to achieve higher cutting performance. This empowers manufacturers to build a more resilient and sustainable operations.
Moreover, by seamlessly integrating with existing infrastructure, Automotive Cutting Room 4.0 by Lectra does not require significant alterations to equipment or the wholesale redesigning of existing internal workflows. This allows for quick and easy adoption and makes the transition to Industry 4.0 easier and more cost-effective than traditional change efforts for digital transformation.
Decrease costs
Continuous transformation enables automotive manufacturers to reduce the strain of labor costs without sacrificing product quality.
Employees at all levels of an organization drive the continuous transformation process, fostering a culture of ongoing learning and refinement. Continuous transformation is a bottom-up approach that seeks to maximize the potential of existing processes through incremental adjustments. This means it includes the talent and acumen of highly skilled human-labor in the process of achieving greater operational efficiency and cost-savings.
Digital Transformation, on the other hand, often requires a top-down approach and aims to transform entire processes by leveraging digital technologies to drive large-scale changes across the organization. It risks excluding employee involvement in the decision-making and management process.
Only by embracing human-digital collaboration, a central trait of continuous transformation, can businesses effectively optimize the knowledge of its labor force and empower employees to focus on more strategic and complex tasks that require human expertise and creativity.
Streamline workflows
Algorithms are not one-size-fits-all. To serve their purpose they require input from someone with a deep understanding of the data and the domain they are working in. Human-digital collaboration heightens the importance of craftsmanship, putting greater emphasis on human skill, judgement and nuanced knowledge. Knowing how to manage a cutting room to achieve optimum results is still a human endeavor. Digital technology simply helps to increase the scope of operations while reducing complexity and the risk of errors.
Automotive Cutting Room 4.0 by Lectra uses data driven insights to build on an organization’s distinct artisanship and cutting room know-how to achieve greater levels of efficiency and innovation. The solution enables companies to identify inefficiencies, eliminate unnecessary steps, and streamline workflows as well as exploit opportunities for continuous improvement within existing processes. By digitalizing time-consuming processes, organizations can optimize labor resources to focus on more value-added activities.
A smarter path
Manufacturers embracing continuous transformation mitigate risks and adapt to evolving market demands without losing operational efficiency or incurring excessive labor costs. As a result, they gain a competitive edge in the industry and position themselves for sustainable long-term success.
Automotive Cutting Room 4.0 by Lectra is the ideal solution to embark on a continuous transformation initiative. The solution helps to overcome the complexities of change while leveraging resources in the most efficient way.
