Lectra Systems Enable Jakobsen Home To Capitalize On The Growth In Customised Opportunities With A Smart Cutting & Workflow Solution
The new Lectra production solution at Jakobsen Home successfully handles over 500 different textiles or leathers, maximising substrate usage yields while simultaneously streamlining the entire production workflow.
The smart cutting solution detects end-of-fabric rolls and re-nests remaining pieces, while cutting, to minimize end losses.
Jacobsen can now move confidently forward with a wider range of new models with the certainty that fabric usage and delivery times will be optimised.
Continuous Improvement Through Technology
Over the past few years, the company has been investing in digitalizing their processes in the spirit of continuous improvement and to enable them to seize growth opportunities.
They were looking for a production solution that would integrate seamlessly with all of their new IT systems.
As a Lectra customer for over 10 years, executives at Jakobsen Home knew that they could count on Lectra to provide them with an innovative technology solution as well as support from Lectra’s experts.
Industry 4.0 : The Key To Revolutionize The Manufacturing Process
Lectra suggested its single-ply Furniture on Demand solution.
By implementing Furniture on Demand into their production workflow, Jakobsen Home benefits from the most advanced Industry 4.0 technology.
It provides the company with the IT system connectivity they desire and the agility to produce customized furniture their customers want.
Jakobsen Home was able to easily connect Furniture on Demand to its new ERP and MES systems as well as the warehouse roll management system.
This has allowed the company to automate and streamline its processes as well as reduce fabric waste. It has also helped them retain and recruit employees.
Jakobsen Home is able to master the entire furniture production process, from conception to final product, by working with in-house as well as select external designers and manufacturing in their own factory.
This allows the company to create a wide range of models--using over 500 different textiles and leathers--that are thoroughly tested for functionality, comfort and durability.
Mixing and matching all of the different types of textiles, along with different furniture types, is Jakobsen Home’s specialty.
Connectivity, Sustainability And Employee Satisfaction With Furniture On Demand
Seamless connectivity between the Furniture on Demand digital platform and Jakobsen Home’s IT systems enable the brand to streamline processes and optimize resources.
“Integration between Furniture on Demand and our ERP and MES systems is easy. It’s also possible to integrate our warehouse roll management system so that we get better fabric utilization,” Esben Lund Jakobsen Co-Founder, Jakobsen Home
