Optimation offers benchmarking against any other method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency alone.  As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital resources.

Optimation is the only company that has developed a nesting technology that considers the alternatives and guarantees the highest efficiency while insuring that production schedule and priorities are optimized. Standard Heuristics crash badly when presented with real world problems. New Multi-Dimensional-Combinatorial-Nesting technology (MDCN) transcends previous nesting methods. According to Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation, "Until MDCN, most nesting algorithms were simple heuristics whereas MDCN looks at many different dimensions that affect cost. Schedule, hot parts, material efficiency, order completion, tool optimization, common cutting, torch load and many other costs make finding the optimal nest Multi-Dimensional. Considering all of these costs, while finding the right combination of parts is what makes this new technology so powerful."

For thirty years OptimationÂ(r) (www.optimation.com) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancement leadership to industry, the company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previous nesting methods obsolete.   The new technology, Vision Emulationâ„¢, allows the system to "see" the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them.  When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on the part.  This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an area of the nest.  Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessive rotation.
