The latest evolution of Lectra digital
leather cutting solution pushes the performance capabilities of
furniture manufacturers to new heights
Paris, January 21, 2020 –
Lectra announces the latest evolution of Versalis® Offline, the new
digital leather cutting solution developed for leather furniture
manufacturers. Designed to maximize the efficiency of the entire
production cycle, Versalis Offline enables manufacturers to
optimize their cutting process while improving productivity,
nesting efficiency and ergonomics for faster furniture
manufacturing.
The new Versalis Offline is modular, opening up
the possibility to working in multi-site operations. The same
cutting solution can be combined with several digitization stations
enabling the production tool to produce faster (up to 20 hides per
hour) while increasing hide efficiency by up to 10% compared to a
manual process. Consisting of a three step process—digitization of
the hides, multi-hide nesting (pattern placement) on the hides and
cutting the selected parts—Versalis Offline enables furniture
manufacturers to achieve significant gains in flexibility and
performance by working on each task in parallel. Thanks to the
power of automation, cutting-operators are liberated from
time-consuming operations and are free to direct their skills
towards more creative and higher-value tasks.
Lectra’s digitization station with infrared
cameras and augmented reality allows the operator to identify hide
defects virtually, without physically marking them. Manufacturers
can digitize hides faster by working with two operators
simultaneously and they can gain up to 2% in material savings by
making marks as close as possible to the defects.
A new placement station with the
latest-generation of computing power enables manufacturers to nest,
cut pieces and test multi-piece placement strategies in a minimum
of time; improving efficiency by up to 1.2 % compared to a standard
hide-by-hide placement embedded in other Versalis
configurations.
The new Versalis Offline cutting solution is now
available with one head for cutting large parts or with two heads
for more productivity on small and medium parts. The solution is
more compact compared to the previous version (3.2m vs 4.2m) to
easily fit in facilities that have space constraints. Video
projection supports hide repositioning technology to achieve
complex and custom cutting orders. In addition, it provides
offloading assistance of the cut parts for greater ergonomic
comfort and improvements in operator productivity by limiting
sorting errors during offloading.
“Industrial Internet of Things offers to boost
production speed by connecting cutting room solutions to the IT
environment. We are happy to be able to offer these advanced
integration capabilities with the new Versalis Offline. Not only
will Versalis Offline help increase workforce productivity but its
modular options also enables for greater operational flexibility
and lower production costs, ensuring a very fast return on
investment," explains Céline Choussy, Chief Marketing and
Communications Officer, Lectra.
