In addition, it also features pilot software that adapts the system to the particularities of the delicate, elastic materials used in lingerie.
With its previous cutters, Van de Velde could only cut up to 30 layers of fabric with five-millimeter buffers between cut pieces. Today, thanks to the VectorLingerieMX their objective to cut 60 plies with buffers of three millimeters has been achieved.
Cutting time is 30% faster, and reducing buffer zones from five to three millimeters has reduced fabric consumption by 4%. The end result of using the VectorLingerieMX is an annual saving of €500,000.
“Lectra has made a big contribution to the success we have had in increasing our productivity and profitability in the cutting department,” said Van de Velde Chief Executive Officer, Herman Van de Velde.
In addition to delivering a rapid return on investment, the dedicated client service provided by Lectra for the VectorLingerieMX has yielded numerous other benefits for Van de Velde: the fact that our Dutch-speaking technicians who speak neither French nor English can email Lectra's client services and immediately get answers to questions in their own language is a subtle yetimportant advantage. Lectra's fast response time is another.
“The performance of our VectorLingerieMX has convinced Van de Velde to replace the remainder of its existing cutters with three more Lectra cutters: a second VectorLingerieMX and two VectorLingerieFX cutters, so we are especially proud.
These are complementary to our VectorLingerieMX offer dealing with high volumes, allowing manufacturers to cut small and medium production runs 'just-in-time.
Originally developed in close collaboration with Van de Velde, the VectorLingerieFX fully meets the stringent quality criteria imposed by the most demanding lingerie manufacturers,” explains Daniel Harari, Chief Executive Officer, Lectra.
