During the 13th China (Dongguan) International Textile and Clothing Industry Fair (DTC 2012) being held March 28-31, Gerber Technology, a world leader in providing automation solutions for the apparel industry, will showcase its software and hardware systems under the theme Take Comfort in Our Experience.

Gerber Technology will highlight several innovative products including the YuniquePLM product lifecycle management system, the latest version of AccuMark pattern design, grading and marking software, new cutter software and control systems, and the GERBERconnect remote diagnostics system which dramatically improves the efficiency of Gerber systems.

Companies of all sizes can reap the benefits of a product lifecycle management system with YuniquePLM. YuniquePLM FS (fast start) edition is an out-of-the-box solution that is easy to install and use and is designed to have users up and running in as little as three weeks. This system is pre-populated with critical templates including PANTONE TPX and TCX color palettes, measurement tables, care symbols and instructions.

Gerber will also introduce the latest version of its world-leading AccuMark pattern design, marker making and grading software. AccuMark version 8.5 simplifies many of the day-to-day pattern making tasks including accelerating the process of digitizing hard patterns. It also simplifies marker planning by integrating it directly into the AccuMark workflow, accelerates costing tasks, particularly for knitted materials, and provides powerful tools to enable users to create patterns for sleeves and easily add internal darts.

With GERBERconnect remote diagnostics software resident on a user's hardware or software system, Gerber Service personnel are able to monitor systems remotely, and, for matters that require a Gerber technician to be on site, issues can be resolved swiftly because the technician has the information needed to thoroughly troubleshoot the issue beforehand. As a result, system uptime is maximized.

Tom Finn, president of Asia Pacific and senior vice president of Global Operations for Gerber said, "Our experienced experts not only recommend the most suitable solutions to customers, they also help customers explore ways to maximize their potential through automation."

Gerber will also showcase several automation systems for the cutting room including the GERBERspreader XLs50, GERBERcutter Z7, and GERBERplotter XLp Series (with a maximum plotting width of 2.2 meters).

As the official partner of the DTC show, Gerber will continue to sponsor a marker making competition. During the event, experienced marker makers compete against one another to win prizes for their superior marker making skills. The competition also provides a platform for competitors to exchange ideas on ways to improve marker efficiency and minimize material costs.
