Cutting planning in SAP

With the Trim Suite, T.Con GmbH has launched an SAP-based add-on for cutting planning as part of production planning and manufacturing processes that integrates seamlessly into SAP NetWeaver without interfaces or releases and extends the SAP standard without modifications. Companies that produce and process rolls and formats can use T.Con's Trim Suite to handle cutting processes in the SAP Business Suite without system discontinuity and with end-to-end IT support. The potential for improvement and cost reduction when trimming paper or film in terms of quantity and raw material loss, total output, number of blade changes and set-up times or stock levels can thus be optimally exploited. It also eliminates the need to purchase and maintain additional hardware and software, as well as the costs of integrating and maintaining the resulting interfaces.
