Case Study: Guangzan achieves 50%+ productivity increase and leaner operations with Lectra's Vector cutting solution

Working Seamlessly with Lectra, we Anticipate a Sharper Competitive Edge in the Automotive Supply Chain, and a Profitable Future

Guangzan, a Shanghai-based supplier of automotive headrests and interior trim, faced profitability pressure as rapid growth and a new OEM contract exposed the limits of its largely manual die-press cutting operations. Increasingly intricate seating designs and multi-material parts made it difficult to meet demand, control costs and ensure consistent cut quality.

Partnering with Lectra, Guangzan re-equipped its cutting line with DesignConcept 2D, Diamino nesting software and the Vector iX6 precision cutter; the lower-pressure blade, sensitive sensors and automatic nesting reduced buffers, material waste and fusion risk while improving cut accuracy. The integrated solution boosted machine productivity and part quality, raising overall productivity by more than 50% and improving machine availability through predictive maintenance.
