Otimize Slitting
Otimize Slitting is a AI cloud platform designed to help fabricators create optimal coil slitting patterns, streamline production planning and minimize material waste.
The slitting cut optimization need arises in manufacturing processes where large coils of material�such as steel, aluminum, copper, or other materials must be cut into narrower slits to meet specific orders. The challenge lies in determining the most efficient cutting patterns that minimizes material waste while fulfilling all order requirements.
Key Constraints
- Order specifications: Each order requires different widths and weights.
- Material dimensions: The available coils have differnt widths and weights.
- Operational efficiency: Reducing the number of setups during slitting and leftover material.
Poorly optimized cutting plans can lead to significant waste, increased costs, and reduced profitability. By applying advanced algorithms, the slitting cut optimization process ensures that material usage is maximized, waste is minimized, and production remains cost-effective.
Our Solution
Our software platform automates this optimization process, providing manufacturers with fast, accurate, and practical cutting plans.
Use our web tool to quickly input your master coil dimensions and order requirements. The platform then employs advanced algorithms to analyze various cutting patterns, evaluating them based on material utilization, waste reduction, and operational efficiency.
For advanced use cases, our API allows seamless integration with existing ERP and manufacturing systems, enabling automated data exchange and real-time optimization.
