вЂњWe have experienced a 0.3% increase in material savings as compared to the previous version of Diamino,вЂќ confirms Francisco Carlos Tomazoni, cutting room manager of Brazilian casualwear company Malwee. The design, management and post-treatment of markers has been overhauled, to make the overall marker development and management process faster and easier to carry out. вЂњThis new release significantly increases the number of markers that can be processed automatically, which cuts order processing time in half while reducing material waste, human error and manpower costs.вЂќД«etter ergonomics and automatic markers for increased usability and speed Diamino minimizes non-value-added tasks to put emphasis on speed and efficiency, making it particularly advantageous under fashion conditions,вЂќ adds Anastasia Charbin, fashion marketing director, Lectra. вЂњMarker making in a fashion context is even more complex, given the quantity of garments being produced and the many variables that come into play during development. Often, schedules are tight and this is when material issues make themselves known. The marker-making phase, where pieces are laid out on fabric, leather or another material before cutting, is a sensitive and critical step for manufacturers, because it involves evaluating many different вЂњwhat-ifвЂќ scenarios in order to maximize material consumption. These early adopter customers have wholeheartedly embraced it.вЂќ вЂњWe are pleased to say that over 50 Lectra customers across many industries, apparel and fashion, furniture, automotive and composites, have been using this new version for 12 months. вЂњOver the past year, we have rolled out our most recent version of Diamino to a core group of users around the world,вЂќ explains Antoine Mercier, product manager, Lectra. вЂњOur latest release of Diamino addresses this very issue.вЂќ As raw materials contribute significantly to the cost of consumer products, reducing material consumption has a strong impact on cost and therefore on price,вЂќ says Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO. Companies in the fashion, automotive, and furniture industries must therefore continuously improve the way they work to better achieve this goal. вЂњToday, consumers want fresh, new, quality products at a reasonable cost.
