LECTRA: Lectra announces Lectra Fashion PLM V3R3
January 16 2014 - 12:02PM
Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions
dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce
the release of Lectra Fashion PLM V3R3, which introduces
significant improvements for collaboration and transparency. "The
world keeps evolving quickly. Economic and social changes are
continuing to highlight fashion companies' needs for control and
flexibility. Integrating design and product development talent
seamlessly into the fashion and apparel organization allows
companies to explore new territory, in terms of increased
creativity and improved efficiency. Team alignment and
collaboration are prerequisites for business growth," says Daniel
Harari, Lectra CEO. "Lectra Fashion PLM V3R3 supports teamwork by
privileging visual communication and sharing at each step of the
development process. We have drastically improved the user
experience to remove roadblocks to collaboration. We are looking to
cater to the needs of both the creative and technical personalities
found within a fashion or apparel company," adds Anastasia Charbin,
Lectra fashion marketing director. "By integrating Lectra Fashion
PLM connectivity into Adobe Illustrator, these users can stay
within their comfort zone. They are free to create in Illustrator
and also share and exchange with the Lectra Fashion PLM platform
community in a seamlessly intuitive way. We have made it fun."
Lectra Fashion PLM supports teams to design the
right-the-first-time product With Lectra Fashion PLM V3R3,
teams are connected to the product development ecosystem from the
beginning of the product conceptualization stage. Users can create
and share information visually, from style to technical data
without leaving their native environment, through a common platform
and a unique file. Creative and technical designers can add product
specification information directly from Adobe Illustrator, reducing
the time usually spent on file management and minimizing the risk
of working on an old version of a file. Bringing creative
designers, technical designers, and product developers into Lectra
Fashion PLM favors teamwork, while both respecting each
contributor's work preferences and helping them perform tasks with
tools they already know well. "We have taken great care to keep the
user experience as aligned to Adobe Illustrator as possible and to
fit Lectra Fashion PLM seamlessly into this environment," explains
Anastasia Charbin. In addition, there are other significant new
improvements in this latest release of Lectra Fashion PLM such as a
deeper integration of Lectra's 3D virtual product sampling. 3D
samples increase design options while reducing the number of
physical prototypes needed therefore cutting cost and time to
market, which results in better looking and better fitting styles.
Design and product development teams can now, by visualizing the
style virtually in 3D, work collaboratively within a common
workspace. They can review several design options, check fit for
multiple sizes and work efficiently on modifications by adding
annotations to 3D snapshots. They can also use live messaging. This
collaborative platform also enables extended teams to have direct
access to this shared information, and get the same level of
information, in real-time. Shared information is also a powerful
tool for management teams. Decision-makers can approve styles from
realistic simulations without having to wait for a first physical
prototype, which facilitates earlier decision-making and helps to
design right-the-first-time products. Along with better
collaboration, embedded knowledge allows teams to focus on creating
innovative products and solving problems rather than on spending
time searching for details or verifying the reliability of
information. With Lectra Fashion PLM V3R3, industry norms,
standards and best practices have been added such as new color
libraries, testing templates and care labels, thus boosting
productivity and freeing users to pursue more complex, value-added
tasks. By including more compliance templates and lab test listings
in its standard libraries, Lectra demonstrates its ongoing
commitment to streamline the product development process by, for
example, addressing day-to-day regulatory challenges.
