OTIS

A New Nesting Solution

“Because SigmaNEST production costs have decreased,” explained Miss Wang, HKHI Nesting Technician. “The output part list helps us track production in real-time. Part quantities are clearly displayed on the part column, which prevents nesting mistakes. These features, along with inventory and remnant tracking, are more efficient.”

In addition HKHI often received Tribon™ part files to be cut. Through the engineering conversion functionality of SigmaNEST SimTrans all the Tribon files were easily converted into the part geometry and quickly nested.

Industry

People Moving Systems

Production

  • Laser: Mazak
  • 4 Punch Presses: Trumpf
  • Facilities producing 2 product lines: DECO & FASCIA
  • Skeleton material projections were 19.2%

Fabrication Requirements

  • Single nesting software to drive all cutting machines
  • Reduce scrap
  • Software interface with manufacturing/business systems
  • Continually monitor and improve yield

On-demand functionality would allow files to be created in the MRP; and easily opened in SigmaNEST or SimTrans.

DECO: The Deco line consists of stainless steel and brass, including costly satin/mirror finishes. Minimizing skeleton material was vital and nesting had to be tight while maintaining the highest part quality. With SigmaNEST automation was achieved and scrap slashed to 13%.

FASCIA: With assistance from SigmaTEK Services Group, production went live within a week. Within four short months scrap rates were reduced by 25%.

Our scrap has been reduced by 25%. Tens of thousands of dollars can be saved with even a few percentage points decrease in scrap.
Jesus Valenzuela, Industrial Engineer
