Lantek Expert efficiently manages the factory’s multi-brand cutting machines and interfaces with the original ERP system.
Lantek Expert has greatly improved the programming efficiency. Two new equipment added in the factory while the number of engineers has been reduced from 5 to 4.
Lantek Expert has integrated a super algorithm. The comprehensive utilization rate of materials has been increased by 3%, the cutting efficiency of the machine tool has been improved, and the energy consumption has been reduced accordingly.

The metal price index has gone up by over 20% in the last 12 months resulting in material shortages and large hikes in the cost of sheet metal. Stainless steel has seen even more dramatic rises due to the high cost of nickel.
It seems that new computing methodologies are released every other year. In recent years much of the focus has been put on converting legacy systems to cloud solutions. Widespread adoption of cloud technology in all industries has helped to drive the cost of these solutions down. While cloud solutions are helping enterprises and individuals stay up to date with the latest technological and security advancements, they require a tremendous amount of data transmission.
In addition to the advantages of its products for the general market, Lantek nesting solutions offer added benefits like auto nesting, nesting of remnants via kits, with significant time and material savings.
