Overhaul at Polipol using Lectra’s know-how
25/02/2015
Lectra carried out a diagnosis to identify Polipol’s requirements, expected results and KPIs, before drawing up a plan for the new Versalis leather cutting room. Each step of the process, such as hide flaw identification, nesting and cutting, is carried out on a separate workstation in a parallel process.
This solution improves leather quality control, gives better hide use rates and improves workflow, including the elimination of bottlenecks due to operator dependency, said Lectra.
“Lectra has been working with the Polipol Group for over 20 years, but this is by far our most ambitious project to date. We are excited and proud that the company has renewed its confidence in Lectra not only in leather cutting automation projects, but also in terms of change management,” said Céline Choussy Bedouet, Lectra’s marketing director for automotive and furniture.
Polipol employs more than 5,000 at seven European sites and is targeting turnover of €400 million.
