- Custom AI cutting optimisation tool built by True Impact Ai (fixed-price Quick Win Sprint)
What the AI did
Takes customer orders, material specs and waste constraints and produces optimised cutting plans in minutes. It sits on top of the existing order system and spreadsheets.
The result
A month-long cutting optimisation job now takes under 30 minutes.
Check before trusting
This is a bespoke build sold by the firm reporting the results, so ask for the before and after waste data. The supplier says its clients typically have 20 to 100 staff, but gives no figure for this firm.
Prompt to try it
Test the job on your own material before buying anything. Replace the highlighted brackets.
I make [PRODUCT] from standard sheets of [MATERIAL] measuring [SHEET SIZE]. This month's orders need these pieces: [PASTE LIST OF PIECE SIZES AND QUANTITIES]. Blade width is [KERF]. Suggest a cutting plan that uses as few sheets as possible, show the layout per sheet in text and give the expected waste percentage. Tell me any assumptions you made.
