Lectra introduces new digital platform

10/10/2024
French technology provider Lectra has been investing in textile and apparel technology start-ups harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. This past September, it formed a strategic alliance with Six Atomic, an SaaS company based in Singapore that uses ‘generative intelligence’ to streamline and accelerate garment design and development processes. In this agreement, Lectra acquired a minority stake of about 18% in the capital of Six Atomic, through a capital increase of USD 2.5 million, with options to gradually increase its stake.

Last week, it took similar measures with AQC, a French company founded in 2019, which also develops SaaS solutions to automate textile defect recognition using machine learning and advanced equipment. With an investment of €1.3 million, Lectra now holds about 30% of AQC’s capital, and has options to gradually increase its stake.

Today, it announced the launch of Valia Fashion, a digital industry 4.0 and AI-powered platform. It is designed to connect and automate each stage of apparel production, from order processing to fabric cutting, including optimising the use of materials. It seeks to streamline these operations by digitally connecting the teams of brands, manufacturers and subcontractors so they can interact in real time.

“Improved collaboration between all stakeholders in the value chain” will enable each member of the ecosystem to “benefit from better visibility on current and future operations, as well as better estimation and traceability of the material used,” it said.
