Nowadays, optimum exploitation of existing material is one of the most important problems in industry due to its incidence in production costs. Even in well-organized manufacture processes, a high rate of waste material seems to be a natural consequence of stock cutting. Aside from other factors, a critical one is that designing optimum cutting patterns becomes a very hard task, almost always impossible of doing manually due to the great number of different variants that can arise even if a few parts are ordered.
Corte offers a highly optimized software solution to the problem of minimizing waste material when cutting a virgin material into rectangular or longitudinal pieces. The Corte’s Calculation Engine, which is designed to find true-optimum solutions, combines classical techniques in the field of Mathematical Optimization, like Linear and Dynamic Programming, with an original Completing Heuristic and a sophisticated algorithm for generating the cutting patterns. Most of the times, Corte will came up with an optimum solution for the given task and when it won’t a nearly-optimum solution is guaranteed.
The program can be effectively applied in cutting of several different kind of materials: metal, plastic, glass, wood and so on, in many different practical situations. That can be achieved by defining Technological Options which will condition the parts/cuts layout of the generated patterns in order to they can always be realized in practice with the available technology. Stock Cutting is a process always affected by a great number of technological, economic and human variables. In that sense, Corte arise as a powerful tool that automates a critical phase of that process contributing this way to the global reduction of costs.
In short, the main facilities of Corte are:
· Easy and friendly interface. · Fully automatic calculation of the cutting patterns. · Background calculations with options to automatically save results and shut-down the system. · Combination of several material types (dimensions), each of them given at either limited or unlimited availability. · Technological options conditioning the generated patterns in order to fulfill technological and material requirements. · Configurable length units with wide support for both Metric and English systems. · Configurable label formats. · No limit to the number of different part types. · No limit to the number of different material types. · Several optimization levels to set up an agreement between quality and speedy of the calculations. · Full manual edition of the calculated solution which includes: definition, modification and elimination of cutting patterns; incorporation of new parts or materials; changing in the order and location of the cuts; deletion of redundant cuts. · A number of printed reports containing the scaled graphics, zoomed details and all the necessary information related to the calculated cutting patterns in order to document and execute in practice the cutting plan. · Excel data import. · AutoCAD® drawing export. |
