Gerber to show CAD & Cut Room integration at Texprocess

Occupying the largest booth at Texprocess/Techtextil 2014, Gerber Technology will demonstrate its ability to track work in process from order entry through the cutting room to help customers minimize human error and uphold brand quality. Integration occurs between the company’s AccuMark 9.0 pattern design and marking software, GERBERspeader XLs and Paragon cutting system.

Gerber’s integrated products communicate cut plan details via a standard barcode. Users create and edit cut plans in AccuMark 9.0. Details of the cut plan, including number of plies, spread length and mode, are passed to the spreader. After spreading, the plan is updated with actual number of plies spread. This information then travels to the Paragon cutter where the operator scans a barcode to retrieve the proper cut file.

After cutting the job, the Paragon system generates a report that details the number of parts cut and number of units cut, data the company refers to as “metrics that matter.” With this information, managers are able to compare the details of the job cut with the original cut plan and track work in progress more accurately. Gerber’s cutting systems are also equipped with GERBERconnect remote diagnostics that enables Gerber Service professionals to proactively detect and correct system faults, troubleshoot remotely, install software enhancements and offer assistance with system operation. It also enables Gerber consultants to help customers maximize throughput by analyzing key metrics and identifying improvement opportunities.

The company will also showcase its newly launched Taurus II leather cutting system and YuniquePLM product lifecycle management software. Taurus II employs nesting capabilities that are 250 times more powerful than previous offerings. When compared to manual or die cutting of leather, field tests have shown as much as 10 percent yield improvements. The system also maximizes throughput by capturing hide shape and flaw markings in seconds using a digital camera.
