STIMS Cutter Description
Generally speaking, one way of making your business more profitable is to optimize operations to the point where you can make use of all the available material and keep production costs to a minimum.
STIMS Cutter is a piece of software designed to help you optimize the cutting process or nesting for any linear material you are working with, be it bars, metal profilers, lineal wood or extrusions, just to name a few.
Optimize cutting operations in 3 easy steps
The application comes with an intuitive and clean interface that should not pose any issues regardless of your computer skills. The idea behind the tool is to help engineers and manufacturers solve the classic bin packing problem in just a matter of moments. As a side note, this refers to the situations when objects of different volumes are packed into finite numbers of bins.
The program can lend you a hand with overcoming this issue in an intuitive 3-step process. First off, you are required to enter your project and specify the stock available along with the parts, quantities, labels and any comments that you might have.
Afterwards, you can access the Calculate button, so the app processes the information you entered and provides you the numbers of shifts, parts, material costs, stocks used and remnants. The third step is optional and entails generating a report that you can hand out to the logistics department, for instance.
Generates reports featuring the info your company needs
You should know that the application can generate reports in different formats, namely basic, extended and compact. As you probably guessed, each type of report incorporates more or less information regarding the most suitable layout, depending on the department you intend to hand it out to.
As a side note, all reports include data about the materials, stocks and parts along with any comments or notes you want to attach. Therefore, the only real difference between them consists in the layout information.
A simple tool that can save you time and money
In the eventuality that you are looking for a way to save time with solving the bin-packing problem fast and without too much hassle, then STIMS Cutter might be an app worth testing out.
