Our Plate Nesting Integration Module seamlessly interfaces with ProNest, exchanging work order and plate information in real time. Plates received and work orders created in Steel Manager III (SM3) will automatically upload to the nesting software. Once a nest is performed, pick information and remnant images will be automatically transferred back and linked to SM3.
This integration delivers:
- Real-time data synchronization between SM3 and your nesting software
- Significant time savings by eliminating duplicate data entry
- Reduction in human error associated with manual input
Whether you’re cutting with oxy-fuel, plasma, laser, or waterjet, this module ensures full alignment between your production planning and plate nesting operations, helping your business run smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Features Include:
- Flagging a product line in SM3 enables integration with the plate nesting software.
- Bi-directional product code mapping links your existing product lines, grade, and thickness to the nesting software, ensuring accurate synchronization.
- Inventory received into SM3 can be uploaded directly to ProNest.
- Customer part drawings stored in SM3 can be linked and uploaded to the nesting software.
- Skeleton images and remnant visuals are linked to the log in SM3 and are easily accessible to users.
This tight integration reduces processing time, increases data accuracy, and provides complete visibility across the plate cutting workflow from receipt through to remnant management.
