Production planning

Mass customization, a successful strategy for many furniture brands, comes with challenges in the manufacturing process. Handling large numbers of different leather types and colors, different products for every customer order, short delivery time are common situations in the production plant. Moreover, the production planning plays an increased role in the overall leather savings.

Many companies have tools to handle the production planning, but their limited integration with the cutting solution and the absence of an automatic algorithm for planning are important drawbacks in the manufacturing process.

The ITTA planning algorithm has an important impact in the overall leather savings, especially for manufacturers which are dealing with a large variety of products and customer orders. The algorithm is designed to increase the overall yield by:

ITTA production planning

• Combining the low yield with the high yield products in the same nesting job;

•  Maximizing the overall dimensions of nesting jobs;

•  Minimize the number of batches from the same leather type by optimizing the batch – job allocation;

•  In respect with all the production constrains such as delivery dates, priorities, maximum number of products in the same job, etc.

Other related features in ITTA

• Hides ranking – an automatic method of hides evaluation

• Automatic hides pre-allocation in the Off-Line Advanced workflow

• Batch/tones architecture and tones compatibility

• Chained nesting jobs

  Benefits:

•  Higher overall efficiency in leather usage

•  Less reusable waste in the warehouse

•  Optimized hides logistic

Supplier control

• How can I control the leather suppliers?

• How can I organize my production in order to increase the overall efficiency?

• What type of leather should I buy?

Controlling the leather suppliers in terms of both quantity and “nesting quality” might be an important saving source.

Production ranking and hides pre-allocation

ITTA ranking module classifies the hides from a nesting probability point of view using customizable criteria tailored to the production characteristics. The pre-allocation module automatically calculates the required area per rank for each nesting job. Thus the operators are able to pick the optimum quantity of hides from each rank. The result is an increased overall batch nesting efficiency. Also, the risk of remaining with unusable hides at the end of the batch is greatly reduced.The algorithm which calculates the correct balance of hidesmargin

• The current rank distribution in the batch

• The current nesting job difficulty

• The production forecast

Inspection and Scanning precision

The accuracy of inspection and scanning have a significant impactmargin: -15px 20px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box !important; word-wrap: break-word !important; width: 6em; background: rgb(254, 254, 254); float: right; transform: rotate(0deg);">

Hides’inspection

If the operator marks the defects too wide, the nesting efficiency will be directly affected.

If the operator doesn’t mark the entire defect, the nesting algorithm will place a part.

Scanning lights

Lighting quality is very important to achieve an accurate inspection of the hides. ITTA INTELLIGENT LEATHER INSPECTION MARKING/SCANNING AND NESTING MACHINE WITH CLOUD COMPUTING has a customizable lighting system that offers several advantages:

•   Lighting calibration

•   Adjustable position of the lights

•   Even light dissipation 

Advanced scanning technology

ITTA INTELLIGENT LEATHER INSPECTION MARKING/SCANNING AND NESTING MACHINE WITH CLOUD COMPUTING ensures an accurate detection by using high-resolution photo cameras with high quality and detection stability.
