With the release of version 6.0, Fraunhofer SCAI is taking AutoPanelSizer to the next level. The optimization software for cutting plans is now more precise and flexible, while saving even more material.
Sankt Augustin – AutoPanelSizer generates optimized cutting plans for rectangular parts made from wood, metal, glass, and similar sheet materials. While the software previously allowed for only three cutting stages, users can now freely configure the nesting depth. It supports unlimited rotation of the workpiece and cutting with millimeter precision. This offers major advantages, especially for small woodworking shops: less waste, more usable parts, lower costs. Anyone working with expensive materials benefits from significant savings.
The new version performs better with difficult cases. AutoPanelSizer positions larger parts more efficiently, leading to higher material yield and less scrap.
Waste that fits the system
In industrial sawing lines, waste pieces often need to pass through a hatch. AutoPanelSizer 6.0 addresses this by allowing users to define a maximum allowable waste dimension. The software then adjusts the cutting pattern automatically and minimizes unnecessary cuts. Users can also specify whether off-cuts appear at the front or rear end of the board.
Industrial sawing lines with robot destacking benefit from two key improvements:
More flexible destacking: Pallets of fully cut parts can now be swapped during cutting, not just between board changes. This allows for additional parts per board and reduces material consumption.
Fewer robot movements: AutoPanelSizer positions identical parts side by side so the robot can pick and destack multiple pieces in one go. This streamlines the handling process and saves time.
Greater control, less overproduction
AutoPanelSizer 6.0 provides users with enhanced control over their planning processes: Users can prioritize specific board formats to align better with their material inventory. The software allows for fully configurable evaluations of optional parts, enabling users to precisely control overproduction and tailor their production to meet actual demand.
Benefits for crafts and industry
AutoPanelSizer is a versatile solution: The software optimizes cutting plans for fully automated industrial plants with two saws and for flexible panel dividing saws in carpentry shops. While speed and throughput are crucial in industrial settings, craft businesses benefit greatly from material savings of more complex plans.
AutoPanelSizer is designed for companies that wish to integrate optimization solutions into their systems. It does not come with its own user interface or direct machine integration. Small businesses therefore do not use AutoPanelSizer directly, but rather via suitable solutions from their software providers.
