„Mein Name ist Ava“– Digitale Guides übernehmen das GS1 Germany Knowledge Center

GS1 Germany lädt ab heute ein, die digitale Zukunft des Einkaufens zu erleben. In Köln eröffnete das völlig neu konzipierte GS1 Germany Knowledge Center nach dem Relaunch seine Pforten. „Was wir vor drei Jahren für das Maß der Dinge hielten, haben wir in den letzten Monaten komplett auf den Prüfstand gestellt. Wir haben Raum geschaffen für die vielleicht größte Herausforderung an uns alle – die Digitalisierung der Wertschöpfungskette“, zeigte sich Jörg Pretzel, Geschäftsführer von GS1 Germany, vor Kölns erster Bürgermeisterin Elfi Scho-Antwerpes, der Presse und den über 200 geladenen Gästen aus Industrie, Handel, Dienstleistung und Wissenschaft überzeugt. Pretzel weiter: „Das Knowledge Center gewährt nicht nur tiefe Einblicke in die Wertschöpfungsprozesse von morgen, es steht auch ganz konkret für eine Zukunft zum Anfassen.“

Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0
07.06.2017

The new Lectra Fashion PLM gears fashion companies up for the fourth industrial revolution

With digitalization transforming the way consumers shop, today’s fashion companies are playing a neverending game of catch-up, as they compete for the attention of a generation of connected, fickle-minded millennials who want it all: personalization, sustainability, quality and speed, accessible at all times, across multiple channels, and at the lowest price. Industry 4.0 is not only revolutionizing how manufacturers operate, but also how brands and retailers need to function, if they want to be fast and agile enough to meet the needs of this demanding new consumer. The stakes are high and how effectively companies harness technology to put the consumer at the heart of their process will be the deciding factor in who comes out ahead and who gets left behind.

Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0 has undergone a drastic reboot to give fashion and apparel companies the speed and agility they need to tackle the challenges of Industry 4.0 head on. Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0, with the widest functional scope on the market, acts as an intelligent nerve center to the digital supply chain, from planning through design to production. This ensures a consistent flow of error-free data between processes, technologies and people. The system connects CAD, industry-standard software such as Adobe Illustrator, company IT systems (such as ERP) and external suppliers, so that actors across the supply chain can work on, save and share information on the platform, ensuring data integrity.
The solution also draws on best practices, fashion-business intelligence and real-world scenarios to automate administrative and repetitive tasks, with templates, standard libraries and shortcuts that allows more time for value-added activities. The final result is a fast, connected digital supply chain that helps fashion companies jump on trends quickly and deliver products that fulfill their customer’s expectations.
