Gerber Technology: New CAD 3D modules and cutting systems

Gerber Technology will show its universal CAD/CAM product line-up at the Texprocess trade fair (May 4-7, 2015) including many fair novelties which are concentrated on the clothing industry. One novelty is the integration of an own trend-setting CAD three-dimensional module into the Accumark V 10.0 design which allows the users to cover the entire value chain of a fashion idea (in the form of an image communication) from the prototype to the series and/or single unit production (depending on size and dimension). Merchandising can already be involved in the course of the product life cycle. This allows to apply traditional operation methods in a comfortable manner and to use large synergetic effects.

The steadily accelerating product development leads to the necessity of coordinating an increasing number of data within a short time. In order to allow to respond to the market requirements and fashion trends in an efficient, secure and user-friendly manner, Gerber offers new and impressive options by offering the Product Life Management Package Yunique PLM V6. In addition, Gerber will present its automatic Nestingsoftware MC which is installed in the interface before the automatic cutting process. The machine ensures a utilisation factor that has been increased by up to 3% compared to single core solutions.

Furthermore, Gerber will show its novelty called Paragon^®cutting system which ranges within the CAM supply offer. This system includes the LX series for small-lot production and the VX series for high-layer cutting. For both cutting systems, the manufacturer promises a considerable technology leap. The application of an intelligent real time process management ensures an optimal balance between cutting speed and cutting quality without the need of intervention of the operator. By that an increased operation rate (availability) and reduced operational costs can be achieved and a higher performance as well.

By offering the KERI^® (Knowledge Experience and Reference Interface) system to new users, an intelligent assistant helps to lead securely through every cutting order within a few hours. An own exhibit comprising customer care and service will be available at the fair. Speaking about Texprocess, Yvonne Heinen-Foudeh, Gerber`s Marketing Director for the EMEA region said, “In 2011 the trade fair organiser Messe Frankfurt has succeeded in establishing off the cuff at the Frankfurt/Main location in the heart of Europe a new technology fair with top-class umbrella events for the global textile industry.

In view of the continuously growing market share of Gerber Technolgy in the EMEA region we highly appreciate this business venture and the creation of this new marketing and communication platform. We are convinced that Frankfurt’s fair organisers will succeed in gaining for the Frankfort 2015 fair the participation of the decision-makers from the slowly recovering southern European countries and in particular from France. Conclusion: It is beyond all question that Gerber wants to benefit from this event and will participate in the Texprocess 2015 trade fair.”
