ABOUT

Specialised in the metal-free tanning of fine alligator and crocodile skins, the La Patrie company works across the entire production chain to ensure quality and traceability, from the alligator egg to the finished product, equipped with a microchip. In the era of Industry 4.0, the tannery is harnessing the potential of digital technologies to revolutionise its production processes. From the implementation of smart sensors for real-time data collection to advanced connectivity, the La Patrie company is radically transforming the way fine leathers are produced. The aim is to continue meeting the growing demands of fashion houses in the best possible way.

FOCUS 

The adoption of digital technologies has made the working environment more efficient and collaborative. Employees can access crucial data in real time via mobile devices, so they can make informed decisions and react promptly to any issues. Furthermore, the instant sharing of such information through joint digital platforms has improved communication between departments. The tangible results of this new approach also include greater efficiency and precision in the production processes involved and an improvement in product quality, thanks to the ability to monitor and optimise each production step in a much shorter time.
