Plataine Enables SolidWorks Users to Optimize Production with Advanced Nesting Capabilities
Plataine, a leading provider of integrated production optimization solutions, announced that its Total Production Optimization product supports integration with SolidWorks® 2008 3D CAD software and has been certified as a SolidWorks Solution Partner Product.
Plataine’s Total Production Optimization is a complete production management system that combines real-time shop-floor data with the most advanced nesting and production scheduling capabilities. Plataine’s advanced nesting capabilities have a track record of providing manufacturers with material savings of up to 20%.
SolidWorks 2008 delivers a host of features to help companies design better products more quickly. The software includes more than 250 customer-requested enhancements and significant innovations that break new ground in engineering efficiency. SolidWorks 2008 provides a new intuitive, time-saving user interface (UI) as well as impressive 3D graphics, builds on the company’s SolidWorks Intelligent Feature Technology (SWIFT), accelerates better product design, and includes more advanced design analysis capabilities.
Using the two products, manufacturers are able to design a 3D model of the product or part and then transfer the 3D model into a 2D format for nesting optimization, eliminating numerous manual tasks and potential conversion errors.
The integration of SolidWorks and Plataine Total Production Optimization is already in use by leading manufacturers, enabling these companies to streamline and compress manufacturing cycles from design to production.
“Plataine has strong reputation for delivering production optimization capabilities,” said Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp. Director of Marketing and Alliances Efrat Ravid. “The integration of Plataine’s Total Production Optimization and SolidWorks 2008 removes manual steps and ensures the accuracy of the results, allowing manufacturers to streamline production and expedite product delivery.”
“By partnering with SolidWorks and integrating our products, we enable manufacturers to focus on providing the customer with the right product at the right time for the lowest possible cost,” said Avner Ben-Bassat, Plataine’s President. “Together, the products also help manufactures increase productivity and reduce material waste—contributing to the company’s bottom line as well as to the preservation of the environment.”
