Lantek, a leading expert in sheet metal CAD/CAM and ERP software, is set to showcase its cutting-edge suite of solutions at the Global Industrie Paris 2024, taking place at Stand 6B88 from March 25th to 28th at the Paris Villepinte Exhibition Center.
Among the innovations on display is the enhanced flexibility of Lantek Expert, allowing seamless movement of part nests across different machines to adapt to dynamic production requirements without manual adjustments. Introducing Assembly to Nesting software, Lantek enables customers to import entire 3D model assemblies, efficiently sorting, unfolding, nesting, and cutting components without the need for a separate CAD system.
For tube and pipe applications, Lantek Flex3D has undergone significant improvements, reducing execution times. The software employs hole destruction technology to prevent collisions and aims for zero waste with micro joints connecting parts, maximizing the use of tube material.
Lantek’s Machine Connectivity facilitates direct connections to diverse machines, automatically collecting machine data. This information is then fed into the Lantek Control Panel app, offering a cloud-based interface for real-time monitoring of cutting machine states. Accessible on tablets or mobile devices, the app provides managers with a comprehensive overview of the production process, displaying utilization rates and issuing warnings for prompt corrective action.
Fouad Benayad, Regional Expansion Leader EMEA at Lantek, emphasizes the “applicability of this technology for companies employing various cutting technologies. Real-time feedback enhances productivity, reduces errors, avoids cost overruns, and optimizes machine capacity allocation.”
The integration of Lantek Integra ERP into overall manufacturing and management processes ensures accurate and swift quotations, impacting business success directly. Utilizing tools such as iQuoting, Assembly to Nest, and Lantek Expert, Lantek minimizes the effort involved in creating quotes by leveraging stored, calculated, and historical data.
Throughout production, Lantek Integra products, including Lantek MES and Lantek WOS, monitor stock levels, material availability, capacity, delivery times, and costs against targets. The new Machine Connectivity tools further enhance accuracy, efficiency, and automation, reflecting over 35 years of development tailored to sheet metal manufacturing, demonstrating Lantek’s commitment to maximizing efficiency and profitability for manufacturers.
