Once purchased, the software is activated via a , which is required to be plugged into the PC for the software to function. If you want to use Optiplanning from several workstations, you will need a corresponding number of hardware keys. To receive a software update, a new license file is typically generated and sent to you.
: It calculates the best possible nesting solution based on the list of pieces to be produced and the available panel stock. It includes specific algorithms for different production volumes, such as "Low Volume," "High Volume," and "Strip Panels".
Unlike basic, open-source linear nesting tools, Optiplanning does not just look at physical waste reduction. It evaluates by calculating a multi-parameter trade-off:
Optiplanning eliminates manual data entry by importing cutting lists directly from external software. It supports standard file formats like CSV, Excel, and XML. It integrates natively with top-tier woodworking CAD/CAM and ERP systems (such as Cabinet Vision, IMOS, or Biesse’s own bSuite ecosystem). 2. Parameter Tuning
Calculates the exact arrangements of parts on a board to keep scrap material to an absolute minimum.
The patterns are sent via the local network directly to the Biesse Selco panel saw controller (OSI or Twinio interfaces).
Calculates exact material costs per job or per component, facilitating accurate bidding and invoicing. 3. Machine Integration and Simulation
: Supports the automatic import of cutting lists from external ERP/MRP management systems or furniture design software via standard interfaces.
