Nesting Technology Leader Optimation Helps Millerbernd Fabricator Speed Up Production

mation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against anyother method of part nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% inmaterial efficiency alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advancednesting technology guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the nextavailable machine, providing advanced information to integrated costing, laborreporting, and material inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financiallyand has the most advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from itsown capital resources.Millerbernd was established in Winsted, Minnesota in 1933 as a small town automotiveand farm repair business. When a local creamery sought help with a special equipmentproject, Millerbernd not only met the immediate challenge but also set its sights ona much larger market. Today, the company is recognized nationally for the design,manufacture and installation of process equipment systems for the dairy and cheeseindustry. Recently, Millerbernd installed a Trumpf 3030, 3800-watt laser, primarily forworking with stainless steel for food processing and handling systems. With such ahigh percentage of production being JIT, the company selected Plug&Lase(tm) , bothbecause of the time it could save in programming and because automatically generatednests could be easily modified "on the fly," if needed. In addition, Plug&Lase(tm)automatically provides Unattended Common Cut and Grain Constraint Control, both ofwhich dramatically reduced cycle times and cut waste. Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation noted that, "Another keyfactor was immediate availability. The complete Plug & Lase package, includingcomputer, was installed and operational within just three weeks of the order beingplaced. With intricate patterns like those required for this commercial kitchengrade stainless steel auger, powerful Plug & Lase features like automatic UnattendedCommon Cut can speed up cycle times and reduce waste significantly."Lundy added, "Although Millerbernd does catalog some items, most projects arecustom, build-to-suit solutions. Plug & Lase's ability to program nests quickly -combined with the flexibility to adjust those nests "on-the-fly" - help the companystay on top of its customers tight delivery schedules."With the high cost of stainless steel, reducing scrap and improving materialutilization is particularly important to Millerbernd's profitability. Plug&Lase(tm)provides automatic Grain Constraint Control to help eliminate the risk of waste aswell as Combinatorial Full Shape Nesting to help determine the most cost-effectiveutilization.For 30 years Optimation(r) has been the world leader in Part Nesting for OptimizedMaterial and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product advancementleadership to industry, the company's new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE make previousnesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation(tm), allows the systemto "see" the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them. When a personlooks 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 thenest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as excessiverotation. Optimationwww.optimation.comMi chael D Lundy P.E.Opti1@optinest.com877-827- 2100
