- raises yield and cuts down
production cost to 2%, compared with other known systems ("Cut Planner",
"Magi-Cut" etc.)
- number of parts in one specification
(task): up to 250 pcs.*
- number of different raw sheets
in one task: up to 25 pcs.*
- number of different technologies
in one task: up to 25 pcs.*
- number of tasks, solved in
one computing: no restrictions
- maximum number of different
parts in one pattern: to 8 pcs.
- precision of parameters: 0.01
units
(* depends on RAM
amount (here on dispose. 512 kb))
Novelty:
1) system chooses automatically
part's optimal allowances, ensuring optimal time for output, yield etc.;
2) amount of aftercuts (additional
work with parts) is under control;
3) it is possible to plan the
usage of different technologies, for example if two or more different equipment's
cut parallel the same material;
4) optimal operative planning
by periods of time.
Other characteristics:
- with different strips in pattern
it is possible to set minimum difference between crosscut saws ("Weser"
type equipment);
- if maximum width of waste
is given, width of base trims and dimensions of parts can be changed automatically
(if needed);
- it is possible to give different
size for changing base trims (exam. 0-2 mm and 25-50 mm at the same time
etc.);
- possible to choose criterion
for problem solution (costs= material + work, yield, combination of criteria's,
in control are time for changing cut patterns and other additional times);
- use of several criteria for
computing cut plans;
- system automatically decides
about the use of composite parts (in one part two or more single parts);
- account of headcut and ripcut
operations (i.e. preliminary cuts across width and length of formats) is
possible;
- account of sheets in the stock;
- precise account of working
time for each cut type (head-, rip-, cross-, aftercuts etc.);
- determination of suitability
of parts from the point of view of yield;
- United Part System (for parts
composed from waste pieces);
- compatible with net environment
(database CLIPPER based, other C++ and TURBO PASCAL), now works with Material
Normative Planning System and Stock Account System.
The system is introduced in several companies, incl. for cutting glass.
The system is awarded a price on competition organized by Estonian Software Association, firms "Norsk-Data" and others.
