Two customers agree software purchases at Planit’s MACH stand

"This is a completely new customer for us," said Planit's regional director Simon Lee. "We had demonstrated Radan to them 18 months ago, but they put their purchase plans on hold because of the recession. We invited them to our stand and were delighted when they visited, especially when they agreed to take Radan to enable them to convert their customers' designs." The subcontract company, that agreed to purchase Radraft and Radan 3D, will use the software to solve its job preparation and production issues, including folding and unfolding 2D and 3D designs, which previously had to be carried out manually prior to manufacture on their Bystronic machine. Planit Software also sold its latest Edgecam software, following a demonstration, to the managing director of a component manufacturer. Each of Planit's software brands has two new releases each year and MACH was used to launch some of these, including: the latest release of Radan 2010 R2, featuring a new nest core and advanced multi sheet nester; Alphacam, featuring intelligent Multiple Pocketing and Rough/Finish commands; and Edgecam, with background processing functionality that enables users to take full advantage of multi-core hardware. All the releases have been developed with the end-user's requirements in mind, specifically to reduce lead times and increase productivity, efficiency and profitability.
