Lectra launches “smart” version of Vector solution
10/11/2016
The Vector iQ features Lectra’s Eclipse continuous cutting technology, which was previously only available on higher-end models. It increases productivity by up to 10%.
The update also includes predictive maintenance to help reduce the risk of machine downtime and stoppage. Proactive diagnostics and recommendations allow customers to achieve up to 98% machine availability, according to Lectra.
The data collected during these diagnostics can be analysed in real-time and compared to normal operating parameters. This allows Lectra’s customer care team to alert customers to potential technical issues before a breakdown occurs.
“The Vector iQ is a sophisticated yet accessible new breed of fabric-cutting solution, enabling tremendous gains in productivity and uptime,” said Céline Choussy Bedouet, chief marketing and communications officer at Lectra.
