A Lectra Case Study
Shandong Ruyi, founded in 1972, is a global textile and apparel leader with annual revenues of about RMB 48bn ($7bn) and a Tai’an menswear plant that produces over a million suits a year. Faced with China’s “Made in China 2025” drive to upgrade toward smart, high-quality manufacturing — and with ambitions to expand into the US and Europe — Ruyi needed to modernize its factory operations to boost efficiency, quality, and brand equity.
Ruyi partnered with Lectra to analyze workflows and implement an Industry 4.0 transformation, adopting lean cutting methods, Diamino automated marker-making software and six high-speed Vector cutters. The upgrades made the Tai’an plant leaner and more reliable: machine uptime improved, fabric utilization rose by 1%, and production efficiency increased by 30%, enabling faster deliveries and stronger product quality.
