You can keep production
running smoothly by using the DS module, which streamlines throughput at the
saw by planning the off-stacking process. It gives you a list of pallet requirements
or a baseboard cutting list and minimises the number of open parts, ensuring
finished items go to assembly as quickly as possible, and keeping related
items together.
|
|
|
You
define the size of any mechanised off-stacking stations and the module will
constrain cutting patterns to match, adapting to suit your factory and
storage facilities exactly so there are no bottlenecks.

|
A station report
provides information for loading pallets or baseboards to the off-stacking
area.
|
|
•
|
A list
of baseboards is calculated from the part sizes according to rules which
include oversize allowance, layout constraints and maximum stacking height.
These rules can be defined individually for each part if required. The
result is a baseboard cutting list ready for its own optimisation.

|
A
destacking summary shows pattern by pattern on which pallet each part must
be placed.
|
|
•
|
A
picture shows the layout of parts on each pallet or baseboard. The use of
runners instead of pallets or baseboards is also managed.
|
|
•
|
The
palletising data may be downloaded to automatic destacking equipment.
|
|
•
|
You
can obtain labels for pallets or stacks when used with the parts and labels
module.
|
|
•
|
The destacking
optimiser considers station sizes when allocating parts to stations.
