02 April 2022, Mumbai:

Lectra, a prominent developer of Industry 4.0 solutions for the fashion, automotive, and furniture industries, has announced that its commercial and technological partnership with Microsoft would be expanded.

"Along with Kubix Link, which we released in 2020, Fashion On Demand by Lectra is now part of our cooperation with Microsoft, representing an increased link between our two companies," stated Maximilien Abadie, Chief Strategy Officer at Lectra.

It's worth noting that Fashion On Demand by Lectra combines a high-performance single-ply fabric cutter with Microsoft Azure-hosted smart digital cutting software.

Fashion On Demand by Lectra is a turnkey solution for fashion companies that automates the on-demand production of garments from order receipt to cutting, according to the French technology company, giving brands and manufacturers complete control over all steps in their on-demand process, whether they are producing small series or customized items.

"This ground-breaking proposition also assists them in responding to the difficulties of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that fashion sector participants today confront," Lectra adds.

Concerns about the environment, social issues, and economic challenges now have a direct impact on consumer purchase decisions. Both the textile industry and local governments are affected by these issues. A good example is the introduction of an anti-waste law in France on January 1, 2022.

"Brands and manufacturers now have an option with Lectra's Fashion On Demand. They can manufacture single and/or bespoke orders and, as a result, can promote the proper quantity of products to ensure that they sell because they fit clients' wants and specifications," Lectra explained.

Manufacturers are able to use a more flexible production process to produce products in small batches, resulting in increased profitability. Fashion firms may adjust their offering in real-time thanks to this adaptability, without sacrificing efficiency, fabric consumption (which can account for up to 60% of a garment's production costs), or agility.

"Through this partnership with Microsoft, Lectra pushes technological innovation, speeding the digital transformation of fashion companies and manufacturers," said Gilles d'Aramon, Microsoft France's General Manager of Global Partner Solutions.
