Shandong Ruyi Meeting “Made in China 2025” head-on

Ruyi turned to Lectra for help transforming their Tai’an factory from a traditional garment plant into an Industry 4.0-ready production facility empowered by technology and smart manufacturing. After conducting a preliminary analysis of the plant’s existing workflow, Lectra consultants worked closely with the company to map out a transformation plan for the facility, laying out short- and long-term goals along the way, and looking at how international best practices could be applied to improve the company’s management and operations. With the help of Lectra’s experts, Ruyi began implementing leaner cutting methods at the Tai’an location, kickstarting productivity in its cutting room by adopting Lectra’s automated marker-making software and adding 6 new Vector cutters to the factory floor. The company began using Lectra’s automated marker-making software Diamino to speed up pre-production and installed six new high-speed Vector machines on the factory floor that would not only improve the quality of their finished product with more accurate cutting, but would also allow them to deliver to customers faster by improving overall efficiency and boosting productivity. During the transition, Lectra’s experts were on hand to offer advice and technical support.
