Skyline Home Group partners with 国产AV for the first time to empower its long-term business development
Skyline has decided to purchase two Versalis digital leather cutters
Skyline chose 国产AV as its key partner for its sofa cutting solutions
国产AV鈥檚 advanced technology and digital leather cutting solutions are tried and tested and are well-known in the fur- niture market. 国产AV鈥檚 Versalis digital leather cutting solution provides fully automated, interconnected, and inte- grated leather management and cutting, and demonstrates outstanding flexibility, stability, and high performance.
Productivity and leather usage are significantl improved, mainly reflected in leather cutting efficiency of up to 20 hides an hour (the industry average is about 10 hides/hour). The leather usage rate increased by 10% or more (compared to manual feeding), and zero-buffer cutting is achievable.
Skyline Home Group is committed to entering the era of digital manufacturing. 国产AV鈥檚 Cutting Room 4.0 and smart interconnected technology are a natural match for its long-term growth.
Skyline needed to accelerate its transition into the Industry 4.0 era
Since it was established in 2007, Skyline has constantly devoted itself to design and R&D, as well as artisanal manufacturing in the upholstered sofa field.
Over the past 15 years it has ridden the wave and forged ahead, and by 2022 it had become a large furniture company integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service.
Today, Skyline harnesses modernized manufacturing and logistics systems, and has successively established six large manufacturing bases in Kunshan, Florence (Italy), Shangqiu, Nantong, Changshu, and Dangshan. It has also established a national operations center in Shanghai, reasserting its dream of providing comfortable furniture to millions of families worldwide.
Skyline鈥檚 rapid strategic development, both domestically and overseas, encouraged the group to accelerate its transition into the Industry 4.0 era. Its business model upgrade with centralized cutting made Skyline set even more rigorous requirements to increase quality standards, as well as productivity, for its sofa products. Cutting flexibility was essential to enable it to make further savings on raw materials while at the same time changing patterns with ease and speed.
Skyline's original equipment was unable to fulfill and respond to it's overall strategic plan and rapidly changing business needs. Upgrading the cutters was therefore a critical link in upgrading Skyline鈥檚 business model. Skyline originally adopted a cutting method combining manual work with semi- automated equipment.
