Ese.Y, a leading manufacturer in the women's pants category in China, faced the challenge of adapting to the rapidly growing consumer demand for fashion and the rise of e-commerce. The company needed to transition to intelligent manufacturing to create a more agile supply chain and handle small-batch production orders. The unpredictable peaks in demand and the millennial preference for personalized products required a more flexible setup than traditional, order-based production. During the 'Double 11' festival in 2016, Ese.Y's Tmall.com store clocked RMB 10 million in sales in just 20 minutes, highlighting the need for an agile production setup to handle such spikes in orders.

Ese.Y chose Lectra's Vector cutting machines to enhance its production capabilities. These high-performing cutters offered a broad range of fabric-management options and were robust enough to handle complicated orders. Each Vector machine saved Ese.Y more than RMB 300,000 annually in labor costs alone. The machines also reduced fabric waste and helped lower the fabric cost per cut piece, thanks to their precise, zero-buffer cutting. The implementation of Lectra's cutting-room solutions made Ese.Y's production setup more agile, allowing the company to better handle fluctuations in demand. During the 'Double 11' festival in 2012, it took Ese.Y 10 days to deliver 80,000 orders, but by 2016, they completed production on the very first day the orders were received. Lectra's technology helped Ese.Y achieve higher standards without raising costs, producing standardized cut parts that eliminated irregularities and improved the sewing process.
