Over the past years, there have been many successful cases where GBOS has helped automotive interior manufacturers to complete their digital transformation.

By working hand in hand with GBOS, automotive interiors companies are using digital and intelligent methods to replace manual nesting and die-cutting manufacturing, not only improving their core competitiveness, but also reducing manufacturing costs.

Automotive Interior Industry, Die-less Cutting Era is Coming.

Previously, due to the limitations of technology, it need manual intervention to identify the shape, feature points of each piece of leather. This has led to a major trend towards manual work and die-cutting.

As the technology has matured, flexible digital nesting systems have been able to automatically identify a wide range of leather contours and digital cutting systems have gradually replaced die-cutting.

Digital technology not only reduces human errors but also improves material utilisation, which is why many manufacturers in the leather automotive interior industry are using digital intelligent solutions.

Why is die-cutting gradually being replaced by digital technology?

  • Long Mould Making Cycle: The first version of the mould takes an average of 3-8 weeks to make, and time is needed to continuously improve the mould, and you will be faced with engineering modifications at any time during the improvement process. Ultimately, a set of moulds can take up to 8 weeks or more to produce.
  • High Mould Making Cost: according to the complexity of the car seat, with a single seat 20 pieces of cutting, each piece of mould 100 RMB, a set of car interior mould cost at least thousands of dollars. Add to this the demand for different styles and patterns, and the cost of mould making can be imagined.
  • Low Utilisation of Leather Nesting: manual nesting relies on skilled labour, based on their work experience and pre-layout, without any digital algorithms leading to severe wear and tear on expensive leather and increased costs.

Intelligent intelligence empowers unlimited flexibility in automotive interiors!

The digital leather saving nesting system ITS3-3012, is the technical support for reducing leather consumption and increasing leather utilisation to over 85%.

The digital cutting solutions KC2530 (full width leather intelligent cutting system), KC1630 (extra long leather intelligent cutting system) and KC2516 (extra wide leather intelligent cutting system) enable effective guarantee of standardisation of the cut pieces.

The combination of one-stop intelligent leather nesting + cutting solutions gives automotive interior manufacturers unlimited flexibility!
