YuniquePLM, the software solution under the Gerber Technology umbrella, introduced an update to its product lifecycle management solution.

Designed to improve collaboration throughout the supply chain and speed time to market, Yunique PLM V6.1 has a number of new features, including upgrades to the 3-D sample/style file support module. Users can view, spin, zoom and pan 3-D CAD files within a garment style and sample and add comments to the file. The new version also has an improved user interface, advanced saved search capabilities and greater flexibility in the creation of color swatches. V6.1 also allows users to generate product report views based on selected images, data and fields, which can be exported for sharing and collaboration across the supply chain.

“We have added data management, file sharing and reporting enhancements to this latest YuniquePLM product, based on the input of our customers,” said Bill Brewster, Yunique’s vice president and general manager. “These enhancements were designed to further facilitate the connection between the design and production teams of apparel manufacturers with their supply chain, for time- and cost-efficient production flow.”
