LECTRA: Lectra unveils a new strategy
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lectra unveils a new strategy
Lectra enables customers to lock Industry 4.0 principles into their processes
Paris, February, 28, 2017 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and
composite materials, reveals a new strategy conceived to empower fashion and
apparel, automotive and furniture companies to succeed as they step into the
Industry 4.0 era.
Anchored in the digitalization of industrial processes, from creation to
production, Industry 4.0 is creating a new organization of factories'
ecosystems. Increasingly flexible with optimized resources, factories are
propelling a new digitalized lifecycle for products that will benefit consumers.
Furthermore, mass production is leaving increasing room for large-scale
customized production, as well as providing quick-to-market, quality products
expected by increasingly impatient and demanding customers.
In order to face these changes, a digital value chain is essential to provide
real-time connections between creative teams and product development teams,
smart factories, suppliers and consumers.
"To meet these new challenges, our customers can depend on our software and
equipment offer, already compatible with Industry 4.0 principles, our deep
knowledge of the industrial Internet of Things since 2007, and our teams'
expertise in specific industries," stated Daniel Harari, CEO, Lectra. "Thanks to
these strong fundamentals, we are massively enriching our offer, leveraging the
latest technologies and integrating best practices, to entrench Lectra's
position as an Industry 4.0 visionary."
Reflecting Lectra's new strategy is the launch of a Software as a Service (SaaS)
offer, reinforced by cloud and developed since 2015. This offer, capitalizing on
data analyses and exploitation, will translate into even smarter, connected
equipment and finely tuned integration between equipment, software and services.
New industry-specific services will reinforce the offer, enabling Lectra to
continually improve customer processes. Initially tested in 2017 with select
customers, some of whom have been involved with the offer since the beginning of
the design, the new offer will be commercialized from 2018.
"Bringing increasing value to our customers, Lectra will increase the share of
revenues dedicated to R&D to 10% for the period from 2017 to 2019, representing
a rise of about 50% between 2016 and 2019. This way we can support our customers
on their path towards operational excellence, indispensable if they are to
succeed in the context of the fourth industrial revolution," concludes Daniel
Harari.
