Cutting machine production and inventory control software for the roller blinds industry.
Do you wish to lower your cost per blind? Increase profits? Reduce waste? Limit handling?
Matic Athenea is a productivity and efficiency tool designed specifically for the roller blind, shades and screen markets.
Athenea Workflow Management Software is in constant contact with your company's ERP system to retrieve orders and report real time status of cutting jobs. Orders can be grouped by fabric, order number or priority - reducing the set-up time and handling of rolls.
Orders for the day can be grouped by;
- fabric.
- order number.
- priority.
Athenea 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 and therefore landfill signifiquantly, thus lowering your cost per blind.
The nesting can be rotated to account for pattern matching across a number of panels.
