For 30 years Optimation® has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized
Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement
leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous
nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™, allows the system
to “see” the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a person
looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part.
This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the
nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive
rotation.
Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against any other method of part
nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency
alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology
guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine,
providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material
inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most
advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital
resources.
