Turkish bedding and upholstery manufacturer Yatas Group has adopted the Lectra Vector cutting system in a bid to streamline its operations and yield financial and resource savings. Yatas says that it recognises that the ‘Industry 4.0 transformation’ is accelerating, and that flexible, rapid and intuitive technologies will be key to its continued growth during this period.
Zeynep Uluocak, Managing Director Turkey & Middle East at Lectra, said: “Post-pandemic developments in particular have made it no longer a choice, but almost a necessity, to invest in technologies that process materials without error and waste, minimise energy consumption, and measure efficiency in real time, in order to minimise the production costs of industries worldwide.”
Lectra’s Vector cutter is said to save up to five percent in fabric consumption with “optimum placement of patterns” and cutting technology with a zaro share in the cutting of fabrics. It insists that this translates into cost savings for its manufacturing partners, as well as improved delivery times due to its ability to function at 40 percent faster speeds than competitor solutions.
Nuri Öztaşkın, CEO of Yataş Group, said: “Our collections stand out with their stylish design, quality and comfort, and for this reason, they are the preferred choice of consumers. Yataş Group has decided to invest in a smart industrial transformation that will increase the speed and efficiency of our production line and reduce fabric waste, in order to raise our standards even more.
“For this reason, we have chosen Lectra for our smart industry investments, entering into a solution partnership with the only brand in the world working with digital technologies in the cutting of industrial textile products.
He continued: “This new generation technology that provides more precise and faster cutting is a huge advantage. We have not only cut costs, but also aimed to improve the flow of operations and increase production capacity by maintaining the number of existing employees. By choosing Lectra, we increased our cutting room efficiency by 30 percent,” he said.
