Press Release Summary: Vision Emulation by Optimation Eliminates Excessive Rotation
in Nesting

Press Release Body: AxiomVE looks at the part and determines without trial and error
the optimal rotation. A part may need to be rotated 124.372 degrees to fit
optimally. AxiomVE determines that optimal rotation without undo trial and error.
Because of this new technology called Vision Emulation that allows the system to
"see" the shape of the parts as a human sees. When a person looks at a part, they
see the whole shape and any special features on the part. They use this information
to determine if the part will fit in an area of the nest
According to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, "Our company has
developed a nesting technology that considers the alternatives and guarantees the
highest efficiency while insuring that production schedule and priorities are
optimized. Standard Heuristics crash badly when presented with real world problems.
New Multi-Dimensional-Combinatorial-Nesting technology (MDCN) transcends previous
nesting methods. It is critical to have the tools to "see" the shape of the part
and "see" the shape of the available material and select the best part at the
optimal angle. Previously, nesting systems had to rotate parts in small increments
and try to fit the part after each rotation. This is time consuming and leads to
wrong results. Some of our competitors brag about rotating parts at one degree
increments. That type of trial and error nesting is now obsolete."
The elimination of excessive rotation (trial and error nesting) will permit a direct
bottom-line cost savings as well as lean efficiencies. For thirty years Optimation(r)
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(tm), 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 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.
