Press Release Summary: Optimation Part Nesting Benchmarking Drives 15% Optimized
Material Efficiency
Press Release Body: Optimation offers benchmarking against any other method of part
nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency
alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology
guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine,
providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material
inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most
advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital
resources.
Optimation is the only company that has developed a nesting technology that
considers the alternatives and guarantees the highest efficiency while insuring that
production schedule and priorities are optimized. Standard Heuristics crash badly
when presented with real world problems. New Multi-Dimensional-Combinatorial-Nesting
technology (MDCN) transcends previous nesting methods. According to Michael D.
Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, “Until MDCN, most nesting algorithms
were simple heuristics whereas MDCN looks at many different dimensions that affect
cost. Schedule, hot parts, material efficiency, order completion, tool optimization,
common cutting, torch load and many other costs make finding the optimal nest
Multi-Dimensional. Considering all of these costs, while finding the right
combination of parts is what makes this new technology so powerful.”
For thirty years Optimation® (www.optimation.com) has been the world leader in Part
Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product
advancement leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE
make previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™,
allows the system to “see” the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them.
When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on
the part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an
area of the nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as
excessive rotation.
