挑战

Maggy London faced significant challenges with manual marker placement for their engineered prints. The manual process was slow, tedious, and lacked the precision needed to accurately estimate material consumption and stay within margins. This inefficiency was particularly problematic given the company's production of five seasons of nine lines each year, both for private label and in-house brands. The manual method involved designers scuttling pieces on a table to find the best position for their designs, which was not only time-consuming but also impractical. Despite 40 years of marker-making experience, the uncertainty of the manual process was a significant issue, especially in an industry with an unforgiving margin of error. The need for a more efficient and precise method became critical as the company aimed to grow and meet the demands of private labels and retailers who are very savvy about cost and time to market.

解决方案

To address the challenges of manual marker placement, Maggy London collaborated with Lectra to develop a more efficient solution. Leveraging their 20-year partnership, the two companies pooled their knowledge to create a system that allowed for the import of fabrics into Lectra markers. This enabled quick visualization of marker layouts and accurate estimation of material use. The new system allowed Marker Maker Alex Canoro to swiftly position markers on a fabric backdrop using Lectra's Diamino software, significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to the old manual method. The implementation of Lectra's solutions provided Maggy London with the precision needed to meet the demands of private labels and retailers. The design department and marker development team could now work together to design prints that fit the markers, optimizing fabric usage and saving valuable resources. This collaboration between design and production departments facilitated better and faster decision-making, enhancing the overall efficiency of the production process.
