NESTERwood - Nesting Optimization for Upholstery Furniture and other Wood Products

NESTERwood production optimization solutions enable upholstery manufacturers to respond to market dynamics and remain viable in an increasingly competitive global environment, facing customer demands for highly customized, made-to-order products at competitive prices and with shorter delivery times.

 

Shorten Order-to-Delivery Time

NESTERwood turns the concept of Lean Manufacturing into a reality. Beyond improving the efficiency of individual tasks such as nesting and cutting, Plataine helps upholstery manufactures automate the entire process from order to assembly, eliminating unnecessary tasks and the associated time and costs.

 

Improve Material Utilization

NESTERwood's Rolling Nest automatically optimizes the placement of pieces from one or more orders on multiple sheets of plywood, resulting in material yields that are consistently 5-10% higher than any other solution.

 

Reduce Work-in-Process Inventory

Adding excess parts to standardized cutting templates is a common practice to make the most efficient use of every plywood sheet. Many of these parts are never used, and those that are eventually used incur various inventory handling and carrying costs. By cutting to exact order demand, NESTERwood eliminates the need to cut excess parts and the high costs associated with the practice.

 

Increase Router Productivity

NESTERwood's optimization algorithms reduce cycle time per sheet (the time it takes to process one plywood sheet) by 10-20%, improving the productivity and reducing idle time of expensive CNC routers.
