Case Study: Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions achieves greater efficiency and accuracy with Hexagon RADAN

Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions achieves greater efficiency and accuracy with RADAN automatic nesting, labeling, and MRP Essentials

Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions, a custom chiller manufacturer, sought to optimize production on its new fiber laser and reduce manual, error-prone processes. To achieve this, the company implemented Hexagon's RADAN computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) system and its MRP Essentials integration utility to automate nesting and data handling.

Hexagon's solution provided powerful automatic nesting capabilities that work seamlessly with the company's ERP system. This integration automatically generates nests and programs from production data, drastically reducing manual input. The results included greater production speed, improved accuracy, and better material utilization, saving an estimated five to ten sheets of metal per week. Hexagon's flexible software and supportive technical team were key to tailoring the solution and achieving these efficiencies.
