Nesting Flexibility
When Louis Veilleux and Mario Ferland purchased Metal Bernard CAD/CAM nesting software included SigmaNEST. When a second facility was added common, flexible nesting software was needed to drive all current and future machinery. Louis and Mario already had their answer.
``Automating remnant management has cut waste by an estimated 50%.``
Remnant Management
Standardized nesting allows programmers to work across all machinery and plants. This reduces costs while eliminating downtime and bottlenecks.
“We need to know the status of inventory any time of the day,” said Veilleux. “SigmaNEST allows us to be on top of material traceability and prioritize remnants.”
Results
- SigmaNEST is driving all current (and future) fabrication machinery
- 50% reduction in material waste
- Inventory audits reveal 100% material traceability
