Bar Optimizer
Cut smarter. Waste less. Deliver faster.
Bar Optimizer is a fast, reliable cutting and inventory planning tool for shops that work with bars, tubes, and profiles in metal, wood, plastics, and composites. It generates optimal cut plans that reduce material waste, honor real-world constraints (kerf, trim, defects, angle/miter cuts), and keep your team aligned from quote to delivery.
Key features
- Intelligent nesting: Produces cut layouts that minimize waste across single or multiple stock lengths and combine orders when needed.
- Real-world accuracy: Accounts for kerf, saw/torch types, trim allowances, angle and miter cuts, and minimum remnant lengths.
- Remnant management: Tracks usable offcuts automatically and reuses them in future plans.
- Inventory and cost control: Monitors stock by length, grade, and location; calculates material usage, yield, and cost/weight per job.
- Flexible inputs/outputs: Import cut lists from CSV/Excel; export plans, labels, and shop-floor reports with barcodes/QR codes.
- Constraints and rules: Set part priorities, max cuts per bar, bundle cutting, rotation limits, and safety margins.
- Multi-unit support: Switch seamlessly between metric and imperial; supports custom materials and profiles.
- Shop-floor mode: Clean, tablet-friendly screens for operators with step-by-step cut sequences and error checks.
- Reporting and traceability: Job summaries, waste/yield analytics, and audit trails for quality and compliance.
- Integration-ready: Optional API/ERP connectors for quotes, purchasing, and production scheduling.
