Cambrio’s SigmaNest Version 21 targets shop connectivity

Cambrio has released Version 21 of the SigmaNest suite for fabricators. SigmaSuite aims to close the loop on manufacturing connectivity targeting “The Connected Shop”—scheduling, quoting, and logistics informed by nesting intelligence. This focus, along with CAD/CAM enhancements, strengthens the software’s capabilities, the company states.

Shop connectivity bridges CRM, ordering, inventory, production, delivery, and accounting. New software products and enhancements to the business systems and shop floor products have expanded this integration for the software’s users.

The debut of SigmaSchedule brings dynamic scheduling to fabricators, allowing them to plan projects with nested programs, primary cutting operations, and secondary operations such as bending. The software can be configured for specific business needs but has the flexibility to adjust the work flow plan instantly. Users can schedule forward for the quickest timeline (as soon as possible) or backward from a fixed due date (JIT).

Also new to the SigmaSuite portfolio are SigmaShipping and SigmaReceive. These two browser-based apps simplify logistics on the shop floor with any smartphone or tablet, giving the ability to create delivery and dispatch notes and to receive deliveries.
