2 NEW MANUFACTURING MODEL A BREAKTHROUGH IN LEATHER CUTTING Advanced technology is key to overcoming industry challenges present at all levels of the production chain. VersalisFurniture, VersalisAuto and VersalisFashion have been conceived to fulfil the needs of these specific industries in terms of performance, productivity, flexibility - taking into account the different forms of production, the models used, the complexity of shapes, the type and quality of hides and the required quality of finished products. Versalis provides a complete chain of dedicated software, equipment and Professional Services. The entire production process is optimized. Competitiveness is constantly improved, while continuous analysis enhances production performance. > Significant material savings - up to 15%* > Optimum cutting quality > Enhanced productivity > Real-time process control > Rapid return on investment * depending on the type of production

3 CUSTOM-MADE CONFIGURABILITY A SPECIFIC SOLUTION FOR DIFFERENT PRODUCTION NEEDS The multiple configurations of Versalis single or multiple conveyors; one, two or three heads; offline or online process; hide analysis using scanner or digitizer or a combination of both; manual or automatic nesting or both together - address the needs of furniture, automotive and fashion industries. The aim is to reach the ultimate production process that guarantees optimal and uninterrupted flow. Flaw identification ensures high quality With VersalisFurniture, depending on the type of leather, flaw identification can be automatic, by means of a scanner solution ideal for corrected leathers or manual, by means of a digitization solution (with a digital pen) ideal for natural leathers. Both methods can be used sequentially. Combined nesting methods increase material savings With the most powerful leather nesting algorithms to optimize material consumption, VersalisFurniture suggests, in seconds, the best possible nesting for each hide. To place the most demanding pieces in terms of quality, skilled operators can interact with automatic nesting using laser projection. Offline configuration optimizes the production process VersalisFurniture offers an offline configuration to manage hide analysis as a separate stage of production, disconnected from the cutting process. Nesting software can then combine several hides to find the best nesting solution to maximize material savings and productivity. The combination of Versalis technological solutions and unique know-how of skilled operators leads to an outstanding quality of finished products.

4 OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AN IMPROVED PRODUCTION CYCLE The best industry practices and lean manufacturing techniques were applied when developing Versalis in order to achieve a unique integrated solution that enables optimum operating efficiency. A single conveyor enables continuous production flow VersalisAuto is configured with a unique conveyor to simultaneously manage four different hides, each at a different production stage. The automatic cadence with regular forward movements keeps the production cycle flowing and represents a breakthrough that maximizes uptime. Tailored reports provide better visibility Productivity analysis provides precise and reliable information tailored to the manufacturer s Key Performance Indicators - yield evolution and fluctuation, leather quality variation, real available hide surface, and productivity data - to constantly improve production performance. Thanks to an automated process that provides a perfect balance between flaw identification, nesting, cutting and offloading, operators are free to feed hides onto the conveyor to ensure an uninterrupted production process. This highly efficient combination guarantees smooth production flow and limits the number of production errors.

5 LIMITLESS CREATIVITY Three cutting heads offer unrivaled productivity The VersalisFashion triple-head configuration is ideally suited to multi-skin and half-hide cutting, which are commonly used for leather goods. Unique integrated solution guarantees flexibility With an offline configuration, which separates flaw identification, multi-hide nesting, cutting and offloading, VersalisFashion enables manufacturers to efficiently manage limited series, as well as mass production. New horizons for design Versalis helps manufacturers keep design at the heart of their end products as it manages intricate shapes and complex models while maintaining high-quality cutting. Versalis opens up a whole new world of possibilities to maintain a competitive edge. With its unique offline process, Versalis enables the efficient use of costly leather and increases productivity for a rapid return on investment. Highly flexible, Versalis supports manufacturers in their ambitions to deliver the right product on time.
