Plataine's Total Production Optimization (TPO) MetalOptimizer solution offers a metal cutting planning tool that optimizes and automates both the planning and the nesting processes of sheet metal cutting operations.
Maximize Material Utilization with Optimized Nesting
Plataine’s ability to generate the most efficient nesting against any competition has been proven in hundreds of test cases and implementations. One way in which Plataine can increase material utilization is by merging multiple orders. With integrated scheduling and nesting, Plataine can simultaneously optimize both material utilization and delivery times.
Optimize Machine Tool Path
With integrated nesting and tool path programming, Plataine is able to generate high-yield nests while ensuring that tool paths are feasible for your machines, eliminating the need for manual machine programming. Plataine creates optimized tool paths that maximize cutting speed and throughput, allowing you to fulfill your customer orders in the utmost expeditious manner while making the most out of the investment in your equipment.
Define Your Own Rules
Plataine doesn’t force you to change the way you work but rather incorporates your knowledge into the way it operates. The system allows you to define the rules and parameters that make every nest and tool path suitable to the machines you operate, the material you cut, and any other considerations specific to your environment, such as:
- Using common line cutting to increase material yield
- Allowing gaps to be reduced while keeping spacing requirements for individual pieces
- Defining unlimited number of lead types to match material and shape variances
- Maintaining complete control over the cutting process, including cutter speed, vertical movement, and cutting head heat
