It strongly assists your film business to improve its efficiency and profitability.
FE TRADE CO., LTD will start offering “PCS2” from UNIGLOBE®, which is the successor version of “UNIGLOBE® Pattern Cloud System (PCS)” the online pre-cut pattern data distribution service by car model. This new system remarkably improves work efficiency by having a lot of new functions, such as editing functions, while having the same intuitive operations as the previous version. UNIGLOBE will continue to provide total solutions to multilaterally develop film business.
■ Background of the Launch
FE TRADE developed “PCS2” the successor version of PCS, which develops film business by improving work efficiency and profitability. This new system is special software to provide pre-cut pattern data of car models online. It inherits the previous version’s operational performance and further improves its ease of use by having a lot of editing functions, such as free wrapping. When the previous version was released, paint protection films were not well known and the market was also limited; however, now they are as well recognized as window films are by end users. The markets of part protection like headlights and trim moldings are especially active.
We have always paid attention to the market trends and listened to the on-site demands while developing the new version and finally announce its release.
■ Characteristics of the System
- Accurate and precise pre-cut pattern data greatly improves film installation quality.
- Remarkably reduced work time including preparation improves profitability.
- Customizing the pattern data (editing patterns) to fit your installation style is possible.
- Alignment and grid function allow efficiently placing patterns without waste.
- Free wrapping function easily makes adjustments.
- Sizes of the upper and lower screens can be changed freely.
- Import function allows loading external data.
- The number of applicable plotter models is largely increased.
■ From the Section in Charge
During the development, we focused on enhancing functions to offer users a greater flexibility, such as a wrapping function and pattern editing function, which many users of the previous version had asked for. The new version is equipped with the extensibility and improved the ease of use, making adjustment that suits your installation style possible. This system makes the most of its functions with the combination of highly accurate pattern data of car models and UNIGLOBE film products like “QUATECT®”.
