Gerber Technology redefines mass production with its revolutionary new generation cutting room

New York, USA, November 5, 2020—At Gerber Technology's recent annual technology conference, ideation, the company launched an end-to-end solution for mass production. This interconnected platform, based on the Atria digital cutting solution and previously released AccuMark 2D/3D, AccuNest, and AccuPlan, will revolutionize the flexible fabric processing industry. Based on the company's decades of industry experience, long history of innovation, and feedback from global customers, Gerber's latest generation of digital mass production solutions provides customers with optimal output, quality, and product average price.

  The Atria digital cutting room seamlessly integrates the advantages of Industry 4.0 and IoT technologies with Gerber's pattern design, cutting solutions, and nesting solutions, connecting the entire process from CAD to mass production in the cutting room. Gerber's Latest Products, by integrating data, improving efficiency, reducing material waste, optimizing nesting, and cutting production costs, provide apparel manufacturers with the tools they need to succeed in the post-COVID-19 era.

  "Gerber's Atria boasts the highest level of intelligence and integration of high-performance cutting solutions in the mass production market so far," said Lenny Marano, Gerber Technology's Chief Commercial Officer. "The new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic has presented many manufacturers with challenges, requiring them to be more flexible and innovative. Atria, built on Gerber's end-to-end solution, will enable these businesses to easily adapt to and meet consumer demands and market challenges."

  The Atria digital cutting room embodies the innovative spirit of the company's founder and pioneer of the first automated cutting solution, Joseph Gerber. As the industry's most intelligent solution today, Atria is expected to transform mass production by increasing overall production capacity by 50%, reducing fabric consumption by more than 30%, improving fabric utilization by 5%, and enabling the equipment to run at full speed with zero buffer cutting in most applications. This intuitive and easy-to-use solution will eliminate errors, reduce costs, and ensure data integrity at every stage of the process, using powerful algorithms to become a game-changer in the workwear, denim, furniture, transportation, and personal protective equipment (PPE) markets.

  After several months of testing and use by early adopters of this advanced cutting room solution, Atria has received high praise. GDI Grupo Diamante International, a professional uniform manufacturer, noted that Atria can cut even the toughest materials with ease. Since implementing Atria into its processes, the company has reduced material consumption by 30%. Lesato, a garment manufacturer, noted a significant improvement in cutting quality. Atria allowed them to significantly increase ply height while increasing cutting speed and accuracy.

  "The fashion and transportation industries are two of the hardest-hit sectors by the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning manufacturers in these industries must quickly adjust processes, accelerate the implementation of E-Business, find new ways to connect with customers, and maintain a competitive edge." said Ron Ellis of Gerber Technology. "Atria's cutting-edge control technology and powerful features of intelligent sensors provide the perfect solution for apparel, transportation, and furniture industries."
