Case Study: Métal Industrie cuts programming time by 10% with Hexagon RADAN and WORKPLAN

Métal Industrie - Customer Case Study

Métal Industrie, a sheet metal subcontractor, faced a significant challenge when its existing machine software failed to efficiently program the complex components for an order of metal bread baskets for the Eiffel Tower's restaurant. The proprietary software generated excessive waste and could not meet the deadline, prompting an urgent search for a new solution. They turned to vendor Hexagon and its RADAN CAD/CAM software to resolve this nesting issue.

By implementing Hexagon's RADAN and later its WORKPLAN ERP system, the company achieved a ten per cent reduction in cutting times through program optimization and gained powerful nesting capabilities that saved on raw material costs. The integrated software suite streamlined their entire operation, from automated quotations with Radquote to offline programming with Radbend, centralizing data and providing full transparency. This solution significantly increased productivity and gave Métal Industrie complete control over its scheduling and business processes.
