Gerber recently demonstrated on-demand manufacturing applications that included its Digital Solutions, integrating data from design to finished products.
These solutions enable brands and manufacturers to respond to demand versus producing to supply. The approach eliminates costly inventory and re-defines just-in-time manufacturing, so production adjusts as demands fluctuate – allowing products to be produced more efficiently and sold at full retail price without heavy discounting.
Gerber is leveraging YuniquePLM and the AccuMark Platform, digital printing technologies from industry leaders, Gerber’s Z1 single-ply cutter with ContourVision automated scan-to-cut system and both robotic and lean loop sewing operations.
These solutions also integrate software and smart machines, allowing companies to automate their entire process and streamline data and workflow necessary to provide insight, maximise throughput, minimise errors and reduce labour costs to be competitive in mass production environments.
