Gerber Technology has unveiled its latest digital cutting solution known as the Gerber Atria Digital Cutter. As per a Sourcing Journal report, the solution offers an in-depth look at the machine and its main value drivers. The cutter can produce 50 per cent more. Its accuracy allows manufacturers to nest products closer and cut with zero buffer, resulting in less material waste. Also, Atria cutter’s consumables—its knives, stones and bristles, for example—last longer, saving on both the cost of the replacements and downtime. Using an IoT-based intelligent sharpening system, the cutter can reduce the cost of consumables by up to $2,000 per single shift. It enhances the knife life three to four times and the stone life as much as three times.

The Gerber Connect IoT system monitors more than 160 data parameters, allowing Gerber to resolve nearly 85 percent of issues remotely, also saving on time.

Though presented as an end-to-end solution for mass production, the Atria cutter also can take a personalized e-commerce order and produce a finished product in less than an hour.
