GMMS works out how to cut each batch of glass orders from your stock sheets, so the same pieces come out of fewer sheets.
How it works
Every cut runs the full width of the sheet or strip, the way glass is cut. GMMS plans each sheet in three stages of such cuts and keeps improving the plan while it has time.
Its own plan competes with four other cutting strategies, and the batch uses whichever comes out best.
You set how long the optimizer may search for each glass type. When time is up, it returns the best plan it has found.
Each optimization run is logged, including whether it reached its time limit.
On a real production batch, the plan went from 448 sheets to 431, and glass yield rose from 83.9% to 87.2%.
