Apparel software maker Gerber Technology is preparing to launch an end-to-end connected mass production platform that it claims will improve overall throughput by 50% and material yield by 5%.

The connected platform, which is set to be unveiled at the firm’s annual Ideation technology conference next month, features the new Atria digital cutting solution and the October release of the AccuMark 2D and 3D, AccuNest and AccuPlan tools. 

The Atria digital cutting room leverages Industry 4.0 and IoT to seamlessly integrate with Gerber’s pattern design, cut planning and nesting solutions, which connects the entire mass production process from CAD to the cut room.

“We designed the Atria to be the most intelligent, integrated, and high-performance cutter the mass production market has ever seen,” says Lenny Marano, chief commercial officer at Gerber Technology. “The new normal Covid era is a challenge for many manufacturers and requires them to be agile and innovative. The Atria is backed by Gerber’s end-to-end solution that will allow companies to easily adapt and respond to consumer demands and market challenges.”

Suitable for use in the workwear and denim markets, the Atria is said to improve overall throughput by 50%, reduce consumable usage by over 30%, and improve material yield by 5% with zero buffer cutting in many applications at full speed. It utilises algorithms to eliminate errors, reduce cost, and ensure data integrity at every point in the process, the company claims.

The system has been tested for several months by companies including apparel manufacturer Lesato. It says it has seen a major improvement in cut quality, noting the Atria has allowed it to significantly increase ply height while cutting faster and with precision.
