CI Plan is programmed with these key features
-
Optimized Production Planning
CI Plan automatically balances the workload across one or more of your laser machines, ensuring optimal efficiency and maximum throughput.
-
Intelligent Nesting
Forget manual sorting. This software prepares nests to meet minimum material utilization, automatically re-nesting future and scrap parts for a truly lean operation.
-
Real-Time Visibility & Reporting
With a user-friendly interface, operators can see detailed work lists and nest patterns at a glance. The software reports back finished process information in real time, giving you up-to-the-minute inventory management and live production reports.
-
Do you need to be a high-volume producer to benefit from CI Scheduler?
No. This software is for anyone who would like to optimize their laser production.
-
Which shop floor and front office software systems does Schedule interface with?
None at this time. However, Scheduler can accept most files that ERP systems generate, eliminating the need to enter orders manually.
-
Is this application developed by CI or is it offered through a third party?
This is a 100% CI-developed software.
-
Is the machine agnostic or soley for CI equipment?
At this time, it is just for CI lasers.
-
Are secondary operations accounted for?
Yes! You can configure up to 16 different secondary operations (ie. paint, weld, detail assembly)
-
When should a manufacturer consider scheduling software?
The best candidates are owners and operators who see their lasers not operating due to a lack of programs. It is also great for operators that have more than one CI laser because of Scheduler’s ability to effectively distribute jobs. Lastly, users who spend excessive time nesting projects would benefit from Scheduler’s automatic nesting.
