If you work with materials that need cutting, every millimetre counts. Too much waste chips away at profit. A protracted planning process drags down throughput. Manual calculations cause mistakes that cost time and money.
SECANT Software solves these problems by putting smart cutting optimisation at the centre of your production process. The result is simple. You save money. You save materials. You save manpower. All without slowing down or sacrificing quality.
SECANT has spent more than 30 years refining cut planning software that works across industries and for businesses of all sizes. Whether you cut sheets, plates, bars or beams, SECANT brings precision and clarity to a task that is often rushed or handled by guessing in the dark.
The goal is straightforward. Increase your profits by reducing waste and raising throughput.
Why Optimise Your Cutting System?
Optimisation is the quickest way to lift margins without changing your machinery or materials. When your cut plans are accurate and efficient, you buy less, scrap less and produce more in the same amount of time. SECANT gives you the ability to plan smarter from the first enquiry to the final cut.
Saves You Materials
At the heart of every SECANT product is high yield optimisation. Our software reduces scrap by enabling you to create low wastage cutting patterns. It also manages offcuts intelligently.
Instead of leftover pieces piling up in the corner, SECANT tracks sizes that are genuinely useful for future jobs. When the next order comes in, those offcuts are used before new stock is consumed. This protects your budget and trims unnecessary purchases. Cutting optimisation becomes easier, quicker and far more economical.
Saves Your Business Money
In the sales office, SECANT helps you quote with confidence. You can calculate production costs in moments, which means faster responses and more competitive pricing. On the shop floor, the software uses the full capability of your saw to reduce machine running time. Less time spent cutting means lower operating costs and smoother scheduling.
Saves You Manpower
SECANT produces optimised plans in a fraction of the time it takes to work them out manually. Every solution is reproducible, so you avoid errors caused by hurried calculations. You can send cutting patterns straight to the saw, removing the need for manual data entry. With better control over work in progress, you can match staffing levels to real demand in marshalling and production.
