Hello, everyone.
the company for which work deals with assembly of seats for trains and buses in the field of automotive.
for the cutting of the covers (schienale and pillow) there is a dedicated cutting bench and the operator takes care of the positioning of the silhouettes to optimize the cutting phase (depending on the type of material the silhouettes can be rotated or not).

Usually for the calculation of consumption we rely on the experience of the operator and the place he realizes.

Recently the operator (there is only one) is asempre employed so that the calculation of the metrages to be purchased is made without the contribution of those who materially will carry out it.

in summary I find some software that would allow to make an estimate of consumption once given the necessary info: roll height, possibility to rotate or not the silhouettes, and so on.

the problem is quite similar to the nesting sheet.
Would you give me some software in particular?

I could propose it to those of duty in order to be able to define the consumption in a preventive way without waiting for the place of the operator that sometimes takes days.

thanks to all in any case.
 
hello and thanks to both for the answers.
I thought for a maximum calculation I could get back to the nesting calculation of the sheets.
I've got a bark!

Thank you again!

Unfortunately the need to manage orders by reducing the stock to the bone requires commitments sometimes underestimated. You could make approximate assessments, but it would lead to consequences in terms of excessive costs or lack of raw material.
Of course if your supplier could give you elasticity margins. . 🤔
 
the problem is quite similar to the nesting sheet.
as a principle is similar, however, there are important differentiations determined by the type of material; for example for skins it is necessary to consider that each skin is different from the other for which a system is necessary to recognize the morphology of the available material and the position of any defects, while for the fabrics the colors and the position of the graphic motifs must be respected.
on the basis of these and other elements, the software will process a series of combinations by optimizing the position of the various components and will carry out the calculation of the necessary material and, if the cut will be performed on automatic machines, also of the processing times.
In your case, as it is a manual cutting of the fabric, you will need a software that in addition to displaying the final nesting, is able to project the templates in the arrangement optimized directly on the piece of the fabric to facilitate the operator who, in the cut, will be facilitated following the profiles projected by the laser thus reducing the times and errors.
another important advantage of this system is that cutting can be entrusted to non-specialized personnel.
in addition to the names that have been given to you are many companies that propose these solutions and you will need to contact them by exposing your needs; However, it is important that the evaluation and choice of the final solution be carried out with the collaboration and experience of those who until now have performed this work.
