Let's Talk
INTELLIGENT NESTING

Smarter Nesting for Higher Productivity.

  • ✓ Advanced algorithms used in SigmaNEST software optimize material savings with using part rotation, mirroring, and more
  • ✓ Nesting strategies for complex machines account for hold downs, clamps, repositioning, bevel cutting, and secondary processes
  • ✓ Effortlessly nest parts for specialized operations and materials like right angle shear, drop door part ejection, and common line cutting
  • ✓ Automated choices for best sheet size and sheet priority
POWERFUL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Control Your Materials.

  • ✓ Remnant Nesting promotes a First-In First-Out approach to help maintain lean inventory
  • ✓ Track inventory status and cost through integrated stock and remnant material database
  • ✓ Real-time sheet and heat number tracking
  • ✓ SigmaNEST integrates with exisiting ERP/MRP systems to ensure accurate sheet quantities
  • ✓ Easily identify customer consigned sheets or reserved inventory
  • ✓ Quickly search sheet, part, and work order lists
EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS

A Complete Approach to Productivity.

Experience a variety of options to reduce pierces, save cutting time and accurately cut your parts. This comprehensive approach optimizes material utilization, machine motion, manpower and data management.

  • ✓ Motion: Faster cutting times to increase capacity and efficiency
  • ✓ Material: Smart nesting saves 4% average on new and remnant use
  • ✓ Machines: Central control gives you more flexibility and simplicity
