In the fabrication industry, plate material consumption is one of the highest, making its efficient utilization crucial
for cost control and productivity.
FULCRUM PLATE-FLOW, developed by MECH-LEAN Concepts Pvt. Ltd., introduces 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 increasing efficiency.
Beyond cutting automation, FULCRUM PLATE-FLOW offers actionable 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.
Streamlines the process from plate receipt to cutting requisition.
Ensures maximum plate usage by integrating with nesting software.
Creates to-scale part drawings (.dxf files) for precise cutting.
Tracks requisition status in real time at workstations.
Prioritizes cutting tasks with approval-based workflows.
Analyses cutting efficiency, idle time, and pending tasks.
Monitors material consumption, time, and progress for each project.
Provides insights on total plate consumption, cutting completed, and pending work.
