Case Study: DFM achieves 5% reduction in hide consumption and increased production capacity with Lectra’s Versalis

DFM supports booming growth with Lectra’s Industry 4.0-ready leather cutting solution

DFM, a Polish upholstered furniture manufacturer serving customers across North America, Europe and the Middle East, was expanding into a new plant and needed to maximize production capacity while cutting leather consumption. To keep pace with steady sales growth the company sought to improve its leather cutting process and boost overall production efficiency.

Lectra implemented Versalis, an Industry 4.0-ready offline leather cutting solution that separates scanning, nesting and cutting to optimize each stage and speed workflow. Within months DFM cut hide consumption by 5%, improved nesting and cutting efficiency, achieved material savings and shorter lead times, and quickly adopted the intuitive system with support and training from Lectra.
