Why Optimise Your
System?
How SECANT Can Support Your Business
Saves You Materials
The SECANT systems are at their core high yield optimisers. Our low wastage patterns minimise the amount of scrap produced, whilst our intelligent offcut management system retains material in the sizes most suitable for use in the future. Stock offcuts can be reused preferentially, helping to avoid the unnecessary purchase of additional material. Cutting optimisation has never been easier, quicker or more economical.
Saves You Money
In a sales office, SECANT allows you to quickly and accurately calculate the cost of producing a customer order, ensuring you can produce competitive quotes and respond rapidly to customer enquiries. Meanwhile, on the production floor, efficient use of the full cutting capability of your saw means you can reduce the running time of your machine.
Saves You Manpower
SECANT produces optimised cutting solutions in a fraction of the time spent on manual calculations. It also does it in a reproducible manner. Automatic transmission of cutting patterns to your saw also saves time wasted on data entry on the production floor. Since you will have control over work in progress, it’s easier to manage how many staff you need in the marshalling and production areas.
