关于客户
A family business established in 1968, GGZ has been developing 100% Italian-made products for more than 50 years. Originally a small third-party manufacturer, GGZ now services over 2,000 international clients and has launched its own in-house fashion brands: Vicolo, a fast-fashion label founded in 1992, and Solotre, a womenswear brand established in 2015. Fashion company GGZ produces over two million pieces annually and is present in 150 countries. The Italian manufacturer recently worked with Lectra to streamline its patternmaking process, in response to new challenges it was facing in the fast-fashion marketplace. GGZ oversees the purchase of all raw materials, as well as collection design and development, including patternmaking and prototyping. Cutting, sewing and ironing are outsourced to a network of specialized partners, which allows the company to focus its resources and energy on optimizing product development.
挑战
Known for high-quality wool and cashmere blends that stand the test of time, GGZ needed a way to increase its production output and diversify styles without sacrificing quality, so that Vicolo could compete in the fast-fashion marketplace and grow internationally. With 1,250 styles a year to develop for the brand, the stakes were high. GGZ’s decision to expand into jersey fabrics, and enter the fast-fashion marketplace with Vicolo, spurred the company to invest in technology that would make its process more efficient. For its fast-fashion offer to be competitive, GGZ must adhere to a short product lifecycle and low price points in order to attract young, fashion-forward consumers. The need to develop new designs—1,250 every season—is an ongoing challenge. The company turned to Lectra for help with refining and streamlining their patternmaking and prototyping processes.
解决方案
GGZ adopted Lectra’s Modaris Expert patternmaking software and replaced their manual pattern development process with a fully automated, streamlined product development process. The change created a more efficient workflow and allowed for clearer communication between pattern development teams, saving time and giving the company the flexibility and agility it needed to be a serious fast-fashion player. With product development running more smoothly, GGZ was able to successfully introduce Vicolo to the French, Dutch and Danish markets. GGZ’s most pressing need was to improve their product development process: patternmaking and prototyping teams were doing everything by hand. The company decided to adopt Modaris Expert, reducing its time to market and channeling the hours of precious time saved back into high-value activities like collection analysis and design. With Modaris Expert, GGZ can detect and remove defects almost instantly during product development and have been able to significantly reduce the time it takes to go from test garment to the production line.

Case Study
Fire Alarm System and Remote Monitoring Sytem
Fire alarm systems are essential in providing an early warning in the event of fire. They help to save lives and protect property whilst also fulfilling the needs of insurance companies and government departments.Fire alarm systems typically consist of several inter-linked components, such as smoke detectors, heat detector, carbon monoxide, manual call points, sounders, alarm and buzzer. The fire alarm system should give immediate information in order to prevent the fire spread and protect live and property.To get maximum protection a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia opted for a new fire alarm system to monitor 13 production sites spread over 160 hectars. Although the company had an existing fire alarm system, it could not be monitored remotely.It was essential that the new system would be able to be monitored from a central control room. It needed to be able to connect to the existing smoke detector and manual call point. Information should be easily collected and passed on to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Furthermore, the system should have several features such as alarm management, auto reporting, being connected to many client computers without additional cost, and run 24/7 without fails. The company also needed a system which could be implemented without changing the architecture of the existing fire alarm system.

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

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.

Retailer Uses RFID Scanner to Improve Efficiency
Patrizia Pepe wished to improve the logistics of their warehouse: accepting incoming goods from their production sites, movement of items throughout
the warehouse, and packaging of goods for distribution to the retail locations. They initially tried to use barcodes for this function. Because barcodes must be individually scanned within a line-of-sight, the acceptance of goods coming into the warehouse was too time consuming. Working with the University of Florence, Patrizia Pepe instituted a five-month pilot project beginning in August of 2009 to test the validity of an RFID solution. The pilot involved tagging of about 60,000 items for the second seasonal collection, and convinced the company to move forward with tagging all items.
