SECANT API
Many companies would like to offer a cutting optimisation solution to their users. However, the development of a cutting optimiser requires specialist technical expertise and can be a time-consuming exercise. The resultant optimiser then often only addresses a part of the real-world requirements needed.
SECANT is a state-of-the-art cutting optimiser which has been established for over 30 years. It can be seamlessly integrated into your software package to allow the production of high yield cutting patterns to minimise waste, improve efficiency and save planning time.
Real World Optimisation
For many optimisers producing a low wastage solution is the limit of their calculations, but this is rarely all that needs to be considered in a real-world situation. The objective of an optimisation can be dependent on the current status of the business at any given time – a high value material may require an absolute maximum yield optimisation, or an urgent order may need producing in the fastest possible time. There may be limits to the number of different parts in progress at a time.
When optimising SECANT can take into account:
- Speed of production
- Offcut usage and generation
- Overproduction for stock where appropriate
- Work in progress
- Production sequence when combining orders
SECANT can be integrated into your application in several ways. All methods of integration use the same format, single flat text file for communication between the systems:
