New video commercial for AccuFit!
Our summer intern just finished producing our very first AccuFit promotional video! Take a couple minutes and check it out at https://youtu.be/-K-paZqcsCk. We’d genuinely love to hear what you think. Just reply to this email, and I’ll promise to pass all feedback on to her. Also, of course, you can help us out by sharing this link with your friends and partners at other sites.
NEW FEATURE: Bar layout editor
AccuFit has a big new feature for clients planning bar and billet. It is now possible for you to manually tweak the cutting layout if you need to make adjustments to AccuFit’s automatic layout or create an entirely new layout on your own. Just click the Edit button on the right side of the plan, and it will launch a new tab in your browser.
The new tab will display an empty bar/billet, and allows the user to place an arbitrary number of job pieces into the billet in any order.
A video explaining how to use the bar layout editor is here: https://youtu.be/8yTIEc_grc4.
IMPORTANT: Due to certain limitations in the layout editor right now, this feature has not been enabled for all clients. If you don’t see the Edit button next to the bars in your plan, and you would like to take advantage of this feature, reply back to me and let me know.
Relocated “Copy” button for nesting tables
In order to save valuable screen real estate, we have moved the Copy button which allows the planner to copy the contents of the nesting tables. Instead of a dedicated button above the table, you will now see a smaller icon in the upper-left corner next to the Job column heading:
Also, in the Full screen view which is typically used for printing the plan, the Copy buttons have moved to the leftmost column:
These changes apply for all types of plans … bar/billet, plate/sheet, coil, and block.
Scoring changes
We have made some changes to the scoring formulas, so you may see some changes to the scores you’re getting on your plans. As always, if you ever see scores that do not accurately reflect your gut feeling about how good a plan is, let us know. We can work with you to tweak the parameters so that the scores are in line with your priorities.
In particular, you may notice a new penalty being applied to the score in situations where the plan is consuming more individual tags than are strictly necessary. For example, if it is possible to cut all the pieces from two tags, but your plan actually uses four tags, there will be a penalty applied. Again, if this doesn’t seem right to you, let me know and we’ll turn that penalty off for your site.
Fix layout of column selector in reports
We fixed a bug in the REPORTS related to the column selector button:
Previously the column selection UI was appearing in a way that it wasn’t possible to see the buttons to apply the changes or cancel the change. This has been fixed:
Automatic grain restriction
NOTE: This feature is only enabled for certain clients. If you would like to have access to this feature, reach out to me.
For plate/sheet/coil/block planning, when the ERP system contains information about grain restrictions that ought to be applied in order to orient the pieces a certain way, AccuFit can now read those instructions from the sales order in the ERP system and apply those to the cutting requirements automatically. This way, the planner doesn’t have to manually set the grain restriction buttons:
