FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lectra and Faurecia renew their partnership agreement
Lectra contributes to Faurecia Seating Business Group Industry 4.0 readiness and
"digital enterprise" transformation initiative
Paris, September 26, 2017 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and
composite materials, is pleased to announce the renewal of its partnership with
Faurecia through the signing of a global agreement for its Seating Business
Group.
The cutting process for the production of seat covers, headrests and interiors
is an increasingly strategic part of Faurecia's Seating activity. Faurecia
Seating supplies vehicle complete seats, frames, mechanisms and trim covers to
major carmakers worldwide, whose manufacturing processes are gradually evolving
toward Industry 4.0.
Faurecia Seating aims to double the production of its existing manufacturing
facilities by reinforcing operations with advanced manufacturing technologies.
The company's extended partnership with Lectra entails focusing on operational
excellence initiatives across its automotive seating division.
Standardization of the Vector(®) fabric-cutting solution-endowed with preventive
and predictive maintenance capabilities and the highest-performance cutting
system available on the market to date-will be instrumental to the
implementation of these initiatives throughout the division's fabric cutting
facilities. Faurecia currently has more than 60 Vector fabric cutting solutions
in production worldwide.
"More than ever, we face major challenges in terms of flexibility, agility and
productivity-producing more while reducing costs," observes Hagen Wiesner,
Executive Vice President, Faurecia Seating. "Our cutting processes have become
strategic in reaching these goals. Faurecia's 'digital enterprise' project aims
to achieve operational excellence in virtually every aspect of our organization.
Together with Lectra, we will make this a reality in the cutting room, with
smart automation and predictive maintenance"
"Given the profound transformations gripping manufacturing, helping our
customers ready their operations for the Fourth Industrial Revolution has become
without question our core mission," remarks Daniel Harari, Lectra Chairman and
CEO. "Faurecia is among the automotive suppliers at the forefront of this
movement. Digital technologies and industry expertise are the business enablers
that will allow manufacturers to connect inside and outside the value chain in
the near future."
