Re-usable Scrap Detection

EUROSOFT announced the release of a new ARDIS feature: The new function works in combination with a barcode reader (hardware not included). The user scans in the barcode attached to scrap pieces left over from previous jobs. After scanning the barcode, the software searches the database for the scrap piece that matches the barcode and then puts it back into the raw material inventory for the ARDIS Cutting Optimizer. The ARDIS software will then use these scrap pieces first in the next optimization run. The combination of barcode scanning and re-useable scrap detection in ARDIS avoids the common problem that re-useable drop gets used up or damaged but the optimization software still has them on inventory.

The ARDIS Cutting Optimizer can print part labels in real-time with multiple barcodes and machining information including detailed part drawings. To achieve perfect synchronization with the cutting process the ARDIS label printing software can be installed directly on (or connected to via cable) of state-of-the-art panel saws.
