With the digital revolution in fashion comes a change to how companies execute their workflow to go from concept to consumer quicker in an effort to stay on trend. The market demands and ever changing consumer tastes are requiring companies to accelerate their adoption of automation and digitization to remain competitive.
With the continued focus on IoT and Industry 4.0, Gerber Technology is pushing design, development and production integration points to the next level. To strengthen these connections, Gerber has appointed Steve Gore as senior vice president of automation solutions, aligning innovation around product development and aftermarket service and support. The realignment further supports Gerber’s effort toward innovating workflow and supply chain processes for the flexible material industries they serve to assist customers to Embrace Their Digital Reality.
“With consistent change in the industry around integration and digitization, promoting Steve Gore, and expanding his responsibility to include our aftermarkets and service, is an integral move. Steve has been an essential part of implementing our integrated Digital Solutions,” stated Mike Elia, CEO at Gerber. “Steve’s passion and commitment to our customers will ensure we continue to provide Gerber’s industry-leading automation products and unparalleled levels of customer support.”
Steve’s team launched Gerber’s entry into IoT back in 2008 with the implementation of GERBERconnect™. While Gerber is continuing to build on its capability, the platform captures countless points of data enabling Gerber’s customers to create dashboard reports to assess manufacturing efficiency. It also allows Gerber technicians to remotely monitor and diagnose a machine’s health in real time to ensure maximum uptime and machine efficiency.
“The customers we support are facing increasing pressures to get their products to market faster and to leverage technology to achieve greater quality and efficiency,” said Steve Gore. “Gerber’s end-to-end solutions and the depth of industry knowledge on my team has me truly energized to strengthen our position as we help our customers embrace industry 4.0 and other key trends that support the digitization of their workflows.”
