Total Production Optimization (TPO) FoamOptimizerA fully integrated solution for dynamic foam nesting and cutting optimization
Plataine's Total Production Optimization (TPO) solution offers foam fabricators an integrated solution for dynamic nesting and cutting optimization.
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. Seamlessly integrated to the manufacturer's ERP/MRP and CAD systems, TPO creates ready-to-cut production plans by optimally and automatically selecting the best material for each order and the optimal nests to cut by. TPO achieves this while matching the order due date and specifications as well as material thickness, size and other parameters. "Plataine's integrated solution helped us fully automate our cutting processes from entry to production, while offering our operators ready-to-cut, optimized nests for all products, materials and machines in our production line...Plataine's system benefits includeover 20% savings in fiber consumption, over 10% savings in foam consumption, and an increase of 30% in foam-cutter throughput. We are now consistently seeing foam bun yield percentages in the upper nineties." --Doug Martin, Director of Operations, Interstate Foam & Supply |
