Lectra expands product lifecycle technology

30/06/2016
Textile industry technology provider Lectra has presented the latest version of its Fashion PLM technology. The V5 version of the product lifecycle management solution extends its process coverage to pre-production stages in order to boost overall production efficiency.

The extended coverage offers greater visibility over fabric and cost management processes and helps companies to make the right decisions before production starts. It allows them to run multiple cost simulations concurrently to optimise profitability. It will also reduce fabric waste in production as users will be able to estimate fabric consumption for future collections.

“We are now living in a digital world, more so in fashion than other sectors and Lectra aims to keep its customers ahead of the evolving industry, said Lectra chief marketing and communications officer, Céline Choussy Bedouet. She added that “clearing potential roadblocks” before production begins would allow companies to be more efficient.
