Seasoned professionals can construct up to 20% faster with CAD.Assyst 20.13. Automation in Smart.Pattern lightens the workload of pattern makers significantly. Smart.Pattern leads to company and partner-wide standardization in lining construction, for example, or routine adaptations during grading. Cad.Assyst data can be used all throughout the whole fashion process – in 3D, Marker Making or PLM for example – and shared with offices and partners worldwide in the Cloud.
Smart.Pattern is hereby the new pattern construction assistant. Using macros, the module for Cad.Assyst automates pattern construction processes for the companies and its overseas partners. It can take over successively linked work steps, all the way to complete basic pattern construction including grading, interlinings or button-holes in all sizes – and always according to the customers specified construction method. This will save valuable time in the coordination procedure. Everybody can rely on the accurate results and turn the attention to creative activities, size & fit processing and documentation for every model. Smart.Pattern comes with the Cad.Assyst license (from the 20.10 version). Vidya

And the results are convincing - he can make big savings in product development time and costs for two-thirds of all his model designs – and simultaneously create added value for the follow-up processes in his value-added chain. The results are: Market leading quality in the simulation of human beings, fabrics and patterns. Avatars and busts developed from standard sizetables or specific target groups. Realistic drape, stretch, flowing styles, multi-ply, material thickness, etc. 2D-3D interaction, e.g. 3D preview in CAD. High performance; free Vidya Viewer.
Automarker
To create and send out orders, the customer must be able to depend on perfect results. Automarker fully automates marker making and the order process even for complicated patterns and fabrics. On the Human Solutions service platform, it is possible to create as many markers as the customer wants, quickly and dependably and at the same time send orders to the overseas partners in different output formats and languages. The Smart.Placement approach enables the client to profit from specialist knowledge for structured laying programmed by experts. This saves material and shorten flow times without investing in hardware or software. From 2013, the customer also benefits from even more laying efficiency.
PLM

From the 2013 Version, PLM GoLive can also be used in the Fashion Cloud GoLive – giving all the benefits of an ultra-modern infrastructure.
ERP
With the BOS ERP system, the customer can manage all aspects of apparel production, exactly as required by his market because flexibility is preprogrammed into BOS.

BOS covers the fashion process from data management (contacts, products, material), order processing and planning to purchasing, quality control, picking, billing and returns management.
