Life beyond spread sheets

  • Advanced Manufacturing
The quoting process in sheet metal manufacturing has long been dominated by manual calculations and fragmented workflows. Traditional methods, often reliant on spreadsheets and complex formulas, are time-consuming and prone to errors. Enter Lantek iQuoting, a modern solution that automates and streamlines the entire quoting process, offering significant advantages over these outdated techniques.

Smart Nesting, when the tool and the engineer go hand in hand

  • Nesting
Material waste and a lack of agility in nesting or the nesting of parts are two of the most common problems faced by metal processing companies which slow down the company’s response time for its clients and make the process more expensive. This is due to them not using the appropriate technology in order to fully exploit each piece of sheet metal during the cutting process and/or the fact that this process is completed manually or using slower solutions. Equally, the work of the production engineer mustn’t be knocked as they are experts in the optimization of nesting and machining; the maximization of the margin for each production order received depends on their intervention.

Sherlock, the safe path to the cloud

  • Advanced Manufacturing
One of the biggest advantages of using cloud-based IT systems is that it allows access to company data from anywhere, at any time and using any device. Until recently this was not possible, since the information was generated, stored and consumed in the work centers. Lantek’s new value proposition is based on cloud solutions and aims to solve this problem.
