NESTING & MATERIAL OPTIMIZATION

““The fact that Alma is internationally established has been a key criterion when we decided to choose the software… Today, Alma’s software has become our group-wide nesting standard solution. The software was not only faster but also almost as efficient as an experienced user… We estimated time savings of 50 percent throughout all plants.” ”

““The ability to manage the nesting and the saving of various sheet off-cuts in order to re-utilize them in later runs was very important in making our choice for act/cut. In addition, one of the things that tied us to choosing act/cut was the possibility guaranteed by Alma of interfacing their programming software to our Baan management system. The use of a single programming system in each of the group’s production plants puts us in the position where we can strategically interchange.” ”

““Orders that previously required manual nesting by an operator during their working hours now take up only about one-third of their time. With Almacam, we have achieved an estimated 50% time savings across all our plants. It has become the standard nesting solution for our entire group.” ”

““We decided to opt for the Alma solution, which was perfectly aligned with our strategy consisting in systematically optimizing flows, reducing manufacturing cycles and maximizing material gains. For a recent project, thanks to Alma’s nesting, the material requirement was reduced from 63 sheets to 53 compared to the previous software, a net material gain of 11%.” ”
