LECTRA: Starr Aircraft Doubles Throughput With Lectra
13 Enero 2015 - 11:31AM
Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions
dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce
that Starr Aircraft has chosen Lectra's latest automated cutting
technology and expertise to boost their production capabilities.
Starr Aircraft has been a leading manufacturer of aircraft products
for the global commercial aviation sector for more than 30 years;
their product portfolio includes interior upholstery, curtains,
carpet, and fire block fabricated goods. The combination of Starr
Aircraft's textile industry experience and their use of the latest
technological developments allows them to manufacture customized
parts with the speed and efficiency of a mass production process.
"Recently, we have seen an increasing number of customers move to
leather seating. In order to meet this rise in demand, we needed a
solution that would double our capacity and allow room for
continued growth, all without expanding our operational hours,"
explains Tim DeWitt, Director of Product Sales and Development at
Starr Aircraft. To help Starr Aircraft reach their production
goals, Lectra has set up a change management project to streamline
and optimize the company's leather-cutting operations using the
Versalis
® solution. Lectra's experts were able to
demonstrate the improvement in workflow, hide efficiency and
product quality gained by identifying hide defects on a workstation
separate from the cutting line. In addition to Versalis, a
Vector
® fabric-cutting solution will join Starr Aircraft's
other Lectra cutting systems in the company's 60,000 square feet
facility. "Our company operates in a competitive market, so we must
have a competitive offer that brings innovation and dependability
to our customers and we look to partner with companies who offer
the same characteristics," Tim comments. "We have partnered with
Lectra for more than 20 years, and the company continues to offer
the services and solutions that provide us with this advantage."
"The Lectra team understands that quality products are the backbone
of Starr Aircraft's success and have afforded them the opportunity
to work with some of the largest companies in the airline
industry," says Céline Choussy Bedouet, Marketing Director for
Automotive, Furniture, Technical Textiles and Composite Materials,
Lectra. "The expertise, technology and support that Lectra provides
to Starr Aircraft will enable them to maintain their reputation for
quality while meeting the evolving needs of the industry. We look
forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Starr
Aircraft."
