In the fabrication industry, plate material consumption is one of the highest, making its efficient utilization crucial. FULCRUM PLATE-FLOW brings a structured approach to plate preparation, from receiving standard plates to generating precise AutoCAD drawings for cutting. By integrating nesting plans, it ensures minimal material wastage while optimizing cutting operations across CNC, SPM, and shearing machines. The system automates requisition generation, assigns jobs to machines, and tracks cutting progress in real time, reducing manual effort and improving productivity.
Beyond cutting automation, FULCRUM PLATE-FLOW provides valuable insights through machine-specific and project-specific reports. It helps fabrication companies monitor pending and completed cutting tasks, track machine utilization, and analyze plate consumption in tonnage. With barcode-enabled tracking and seamless integration with nesting software, it enhances operational efficiency and material traceability, making it an essential tool for modern fabrication workshops.
