TOLLAND, Conn. — May 10, 2018 — Many industries struggle with finding and retaining skilled labor as well as keeping up with the speed of the markets they serve without sacrificing quality. “Our customers are continuously looking for more efficient workflows and data communication between design and production to decrease time from concept to finished product,” said Mary McFadden, executive director of CAD for Gerber Technology. “AccuPlan allows companies to leverage work orders received via their ERP systems and convert them into optimized cut order jobs as they enter the manufacturing floor.”
AccuPlan is a powerful spread and cut planning tool that enhances production efficiencies and performance by up to 85 percent in automation process time.
Production Cost Reduction – AccuPlan imports cut work orders from the ERP system of your choice, streamlining the entire process by calculating marking and spreading solutions. It interfaces with AccuMark and AccuNest eliminating the need to manually perform tasks such as marker order entry, nesting and marker plot and cut files generation. In addition, digital cut tickets (including barcodes) are automatically submitted to the cutting room.
Material Cost Reduction – Fabric savings of 2 percent is realized quickly with AccuPlan’s powerful algorithms and users can increase savings by 7 percent using different combinations of spreading and marking constraints. When combined with AccuNest, material savings could increase by up to 15 percent.
Increase Quality and Profits – AccuPlan helps to produce more and better products in less time and empowers design teams. Its powerful Comparison Results Report tool provides the means to analyze and choose the best cut plan solution to yield the overall savings not only on fabric utilization, but also on spreading and cutting labor time.
