挑战

Miti wanted to gain control over hide consumption, reduce operational costs, and ensure the quality of cut pieces by incorporating leather cutting into the in-house production process. Previously, Miti designed and assembled products in-house and subcontracted the leather cutting. However, outsourcing leather cutting resulted in a loss of control over quality and material consumption which, given the high quality of the hides, was very costly. These issues spurred Miti’s management team to consider overhauling its production processes to include leather cutting.

解决方案

Lectra proposed the Versalis® automated leather-cutting solution, which enables the company to meet tight deadlines, ensure maximum hide efficiency, and high-quality cut pieces. Lectra carried out a careful analysis of the impact in-house cutting would have for Miti in terms of hides cut per day, cut quality, and running costs. A visit to Lectra’s International Advanced Technology Center also allowed the opportunity to run cutting tests on Versalis® using Miti’s own hides. The results of automatic nesting tests and Versalis’ high cut quality convinced Miti executives of the value a Versalis cutting room would bring. Lectra experts will support Miti for the duration of this important project to ensure that the company maintains its results over the long term.

运营影响

Miti has already achieved its quality and productivity goals.
Versalis’ sophisticated software and cutting precision have enabled Miti to maximize material efficiency, using over 70% of a hide for some models.
High labor costs in Italy were an important factor in the company’s choice of the Versalis one-head cutter, which only requires two operators to run it.
