Case Study: Tongtai Infant Finery Co., Ltd achieves 50% reduction in machine downtime and up to 98% system uptime with Lectra Power Advanced services

Tongtai Mastering the Art of Childrenswear with Smart Manufacturing

Tongtai Infant Finery Co., Ltd, a Hebei-based childrenswear manufacturer with annual output over 30 million garments, faced rising demand and intense competition as China’s middle class expanded and the two-child policy boosted the market. To meet larger-volume orders faster without sacrificing quality, Tongtai needed to reduce machine downtime and shorten time to market.

Tongtai installed 14 Lectra Vector cutting machines and subscribed to Lectra Power Advanced services, combining preventive part replacements and audits with real-time monitoring, alerts, monthly reports, on-site visits and annual reviews. The move halved machine downtime, delivered up to 98% system uptime, cut maintenance costs, and increased production speed, flexibility and volume—helping Tongtai scale efficiently and move toward Industry 4.0.
