A Leading European Manufacturer Deployed Plataine to Enhance Fabric Cutting Efficiency and Improve Bid Winning Rate
Plataine, a leading provider of AI-driven manufacturing optimization solutions, announced that a leading European manufacturer selected Plataine to automate and optimize their cutting processes and accelerate their response to bids. This collaboration marks a significant leap towards automating the customer's production processes, reducing planning time, and enhancing operational efficiency.
The benefits have been substantial: planning time was reduced from several hours to minutes; process automation was improved allowing scalability and the ability to respond to a higher number of bids. The European manufacturer can now manage accurate planning of inventory and costs, improving overall operational efficiency.
The company faced significant operational challenges due to its dependence on manual processes, especially when the industry was facing labor shortages. It aimed to enhance productivity and improve the utilization of machines and overall factory resources. One of the major bottlenecks was the labor-intensive task of creating material-cutting plans for projects, which could take as long as a few hours per project. This lengthy preparation time adversely affected the speed at which they could respond to project bids, ultimately impacting win rates and customer satisfaction levels.
Plataine's solution has been a game-changer for the manufacturer, by automating the production process and dramatically improving efficiency and customer satisfaction. The implementation of Plataine's cloud-based solution was seamless, with remote setup and a quick training session that ensured a smooth transition into production. The solution has enabled the customer to respond to bids much faster and with accurate material consumption.
Avner Ben-Bassat, President and CEO of Plataine, comments: "We are proud to provide innovative solutions that enable our customers to grow, optimize, and automate their cutting operations. This marks a significant leap forward in the customer's business agility and bid-winning rate. Our ongoing commitment demonstrates how we deliver exceptional value to our customers, by leveraging cutting-edge technology and maintaining their competitive edge in the market."
