Rolf Benz AG & Co. KG, Germany

“Here, at Rolf Benz, we believe that our clients deserve only the best products in the world. Our entire leather upholstery production is Made in Germany so it is crucial that our factory at Nagold is very well-organized. That is why we collaborated with the experts at Gemini CAD Systems to develop the Off-Line workflow for the leather cutting room. They met our specific needs, providing excellent optimization solutions. We are extremely pleased with the fact that we achieved considerable benefits through leather saving, higher output for our cutters, increased efficiency of our workers, error traceability and supplier quality control.” Helge Gemsjäger Industrial Engineering and Quality Management Results: 70% overall increase of productivity 4% increase of nesting efficiency 90% decrease of the recuts in total

Natuzzi, Italy

“Natuzzi is the world leader in the production of furniture and sofas in high-end leather. One of our goals is to maintain our status as global trendsetter in the sector. We have our own tannery and one of the largest leather cutting rooms in Europe. Thus, the optimization of the process of management and cutting of leather cutting is extremely important for us. We have achieved a close synergy with the Gemini CAD System experts, who have understood our specific needs, and with whom we have identified the areas of improvement and the technological updates needed for our leather cutting room. Thanks to these technological improvements, we have obtained significant results in the optimization of leather consumption, and the entire leather cutting process. These aspects are fundamental for our company to guarantee the high competitivity of our production process.” Mr. Giuseppe LOPANE Chief Manufacturing Italy

ROM AG, Belgium

“The most important thing about the implementation of Gemini Thagora is that we got an Off-Line system far more advanced than the system we had before. This is the reason why we managed to overcome a few matters that were quite challenging for us. The decrease of leather consumption is essential at ROM AG and that is why we needed a solution able to address this matter, while handling the increasing complexity of our model design. We are now able to use a multi-hide automatic nesting, which brings us better efficiency by 4%. This helps to considerably reduce the amount of reusable wastes. Furthermore, we achieved something that we thought impossible: to optimize the productivity of our cutting machines and the efficiency of our operators so that we can significantly increase the volume of production by using the same number of cutters and workers. Overall, it is a great transformation of our factory that puts us in a comfortable position to develop our business in the years to come.” Lorin Arz Plant General Manager Results: 4% increase of efficiency through multi-hide automatic nesting Significantly higher production output with the same number of cutters and workers
