Total Production Optimization (TPO) FabricOptimizer for the Upholstery IndustryA fully integrated solution for dynamic marker making, roll-picking and cut-planning optimization
Plataine's Total Production Optimization (TPO) solution offers upholstery manufacturers an integrated solution for dynamic marker making, roll-picking and cut-planning optimization.
Seamlessly integrated to the manufacturer's ERP/MRP and CAD systems, TPO creates ready-to-cut production plans by optimally selecting the fabric rolls to use, and generating the optimal markers for each roll. TPO achieves this while matching the order due date, size and specifications, actual material size, and other parameters, such as style, dye and match codes.
TPO drives significant cost savings and increased productivity by offering higher material utilization, better inventory management, and faster - more flexible - time to market. TPO further reduces costs by automating routine manual tasks and eliminating any errors associated with them.
“Since going-live with TPO, we have consistently increased our material utilization by over 6% through optimized nesting, and achieved additional savings through methodic reduction of short-end rolls in our warehouse. With TPO, 15% of today’s work-orders are nested over more than one roll, utilizing fabric that would have otherwise been written off.” -- Cliff Thorn, VP of Upholstery Manufacturing, Ethan Allen
TPO supports multiple import and export formats, including: DXF, HPGL, NC Cut, Gerber, Lectra (PLX, MDL), and many more. |
