Cutting machine production and inventory control software for the roller blinds industry.
Reduce waste and Landfill - Lower your cost per blind - Increase profits - Limit handling Athenea is more than an operating software for M1 cutters. It is a productivity and efficiency tool designed with the roller blind and screen markets in mind.
Athenea Workflow Management Software will be in constant contact with your company's ERP system to retrieve orders and report real time status of cutting jobs already in production. Orders for the day will be grouped by fabric, order number or priority - reducing the set-up time and handling of rolls.
The software will hold your roll inventory, deduct from it the cut pieces and waste - so you always have a clear picture of your overhead and stock. Athenea will also give you the opportunity to put reusable waste back in stock and tell you when to use it in future orders.
The optimisation tool of this software is brilliant, offering nesting capabilities with or without rotating the orientation of the cut depending on the fabric pattern. By nesting the cuts, Athenea will reduce waste signifiquantly, thus lowering your cost per blind.
