Press Release Summary: Optimation Takes Lead in Part Nesting for Optimized Material
and Labor Utilization

Press Release Body: Optimation is the only company that 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. According to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation,
"Until MDCN, most nesting algorithms were simple heuristics whereas MDCN looks at
many different dimensions that affect cost. Schedule, hot parts, material
efficiency, order completion, tool optimization, common cutting, torch load and many
other costs make finding the optimal nest Multi-Dimensional. Considering all of
these costs, while finding the right combination of parts is what makes this new
technology so powerful."
For thirty 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 EmulationT, 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.
