About The Customer
Moroso has been working in close collaboration with some of the world’s most talented designers to produce luxury sofas and seating since 1952. Moroso offers customers its design and production expertise to create customized projects for the contract and luxury residential sectors. The company is known for its vibrant, eccentric, and sophisticated designs that are suitable for both design museums and residential spaces. Moroso aims to expand its reach into emerging markets and attract a new generation of consumers while maintaining its unique design identity.
The Challenge
Since 1952, Moroso has been creating sofas, armchairs and accessories whose vibrancy, eccentricity and sophistication are just as suitable to design museums as residential spaces. Moroso wanted to accelerate time to market, and optimize the cost evaluation and industrialization stages without sacrificing their unique design identity.
The Solution
Lectra proposed DesignConcept, a virtual prototyping and costing solution, which allows Moroso to incorporate cost targets and evaluate design and production feasibility from the early stages of the product development process. To accelerate its production flow while maintaining quality, Moroso also invested in Lectra’s automated leather and fabric cutting solutions, Versalis® and Vector®. Lectra experts conducted product development training and consulting sessions incorporating both theoretical and hands-on work. Using either new models or models in development, the sessions focused on modeling, 3D pattern development, wood structure design, feasibility analysis, and how to put it all together for an optimized process. To streamline and accelerate the cutting room process flow, Moroso chose to invest in Versalis (Lectra’s automated leather cutting solution), Vector (the fabric cutting solution), and its associated spreader, Brio.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
