Software – complete solutions for digitised cutting

expert software supports you at every stage of the process:

  • CAD – easily digitise your patterns or convert your models for direct use across entire processing sequences.
  • Nesting – optimised positioning of patterns for better material utilisation - fully automated and, where required, also interactive
  • PPS – production planning and control system software - for more transparency in your purchasing and stock data in the material processing operations of cutting

We offer, as standard, open interfaces for use in all processes.

We think in cutting solutions.

Software

Increase your efficiency with separate work processes.

expert systemtechnik has designed all work steps required for cutting in its system solutions so that they can be implemented independently of each other: scanning of hides, compiling orders for nesting, nesting itself, and ultimately cutting, take place on separate work stations.

This configuration offers the following advantages:

  • Each work step can be carried out independently of the other work steps in terms of time and location.
  • Processes which require more time, e.g. when nesting, to achieve an optimal result, can be implemented without time pressure and without negative consequences for further processing.
  • Technical or manual delays at one work station do not lead to delays or stoppages at other stations.

The positive consequences for your company are impressive:

  • You increase process reliability in the workflow.
  • Production speed improves.
  • The system contributes to reducing material costs.

Our in-house software applications for control, nesting and monitoring mean that as our customer you always receive the most state-of-the-art technological solutions. This is made possible by our own design and development team - a group of clever techies with a passion for technology and innovative solutions. Long-standing partnerships with renowned universities and associations ensure that as a medium-sized, family business we are also always one decisive step ahead in terms of technology, organisation and concepts. We are extremely proud of this - and will remain so in future.

We develop. For you. If there is something we don’t have within our portfolio, we will develop it to suit your exact requirements. Geared to suit your process mapping. Yes, we also programme the appropriate interface in our software department.
