Red Planet Software creates high quality, stand alone programs for industry that solve some of the greatest challenges encountered by manufacturing and stockholding businesses on a daily basis.
With over 30 years experience in the Steel Stockholding industry, I can tell you there is a fine line between winning and losing an order. When cutting materials to size, minimizing scrap and creating an optimal cutting pattern can give you a major advantage against your competition.
I created the Cutting Calculator with this exact problem in mind. Using complicated Linear Programming algorithms, the program can generate in seconds optimal cutting patterns that would take even the most seasoned veteran several hours to create by hand. Able to handle 1000's of cut pieces and select the most optimal stock bars to use from selections of 100's of bars, this program is designed from the ground up to significantly reduce quotation time, minimize wastage, and increase margins, profitability and volume throughput.
Originally designed for the Steel Stockholding industry, the program is now used by companies in a wide variety of industry sectors where material in bars or lengths is cut into smaller component pieces, including Timber, Plastics, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, and other non-ferrous metals, and used by a variety of professionals including Sales, Estimating, Machinists, Fabricators, and Welders.
Allied to this, Metal Calculator was created for those who need to quickly work out the weights and dimensions of not just metals, but any material that has a specific density. If you need to know the weight a wooden plank, a Tungsten round bar, a plastic pipe, an Aluminium plate, or even need to know the size of round bar you'll need to machine a Titanium Hexagon from, this program will be an essential day-to-day tool. Used by a variety of industry professionals including Sales, Marketing, Estimating, Machinists, Welders, Fabricators, Dispatch and Transport.
