  Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO, and Christophe Dervyn, Global Safety Textiles (GST) CEO, are pleased to announce that GST has chosen the Lectra FocusQuantum solution for mass production of one-piece woven (OPW) airbags in China, to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of global tier-1 automotive suppliers.
  Lectra shares a very close relationship with German group GST, the leading independent producer of textiles and cushions designed specifically for the airbag industry and supplier to the majority of airbag manufacturers. Following six months of successful testing of Lectra’s new generation of airbag cutting technology in a real production environment in Poland, the group has now decided to acquire a FocusQuantum OPW for immediate implementation in China.
  To address GST’s main business challenges and meet their demanding manufacturing specifications, the group evaluated FocusQuantum OPW’s performance together with Lectra in the prelaunch phase of the revolutionary new technology. The extensive testing enabled GST’s experts to certify FocusQuantum as a proven platform for the mass produc- tion of airbags. The collaboration has enabled GST to gain a competitive advantage by significantly lowering overall cost per airbag and tripling production capacity compared to the performance of the previous generation of Focus cutters.
  Designed to conform to the contours of individual vehicle models, OPW sidecurtain airbags ensure effective occupant restraint in the event of multiple impacts in a rollover accident. The nature of the complex weave makes fabric distortion commonplace, however, requiring complex intervention in the program sequence. When deployed in combination with FocusQuantum Suite, FocusQuantum OPW enables airbag manufacturers to benefit from SmartCutting to easily and effectively manage cut orders even when dealing with highly distorted materials. The SmartCutting functionality was a major factor in GST’s decision, as it contributes to increased overall process capability and quality approaching zero defects for these life-saving devices.
  For Uwe Zimmermann, GST COO, the two companies’ shared culture of R&D-driven innovation lies at the heart of a mutually beneficial partnership of trust. “We have long anticipated the launch of a new generation of laser airbag technologies from Lectra,” remarks Uwe Zimmermann. “Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity to test it on our premises and provide input to improve and perfect the new solution. Lectra is the leading authority on operational excellence in the cutting room. Because of our open relationship, we were able to achieve a shared vision enabling both companies to assert their industry leadership.”   “GST’s leading position in the auto- motive industry makes it the ideal partner to validate the core technology of the FocusQuantum platform,” adds Javier Garcia, Global Sales Director, Automotive, Lectra. “Because airbags are subject to increasingly strict quality control to ensure passenger safety, it is essential for Lectra to maintain its close working relationship with innovative companies like GST. Together, we can incorporate road safety into the airbag value chain.”
  FocusQuantum is Lectra’s comprehensive airbag solution range, combining high-performance laser cutters for both OPW and flat airbags, as well as a purpose-built software suite and a full range of value-added professional services covering implementation, change management and support, to ensure operational excellence in the cutting room. Acquisition of the new FocusQuantum OPW marks the entry into GST’s installed base of their 40 Lectra laser cutter worldwide, and their fifth in China. Other GST plants equipped with Lectra laser cutters include Germany, Poland, Romania, the United States, Mexico and South Africa.
