Case Study: Tindle Construction achieves faster nesting and MRP efficiency with Hexagon RADAN

Tindle Construction, Inc., uses RADAN nesting and MRP essentials to efficiently process high volumes of sheet-metal parts

Tindle Construction, Inc. (TCI), a metal fabricator and industrial services company, faced challenges with inefficient and inflexible nesting software for its high volume of sheet-metal parts. Their previous CNC programming solution was slow and lacked editing capabilities, hindering overall production efficiency. They implemented RADAN, a CAD/CAM software solution from Hexagon, to address these limitations.

Hexagon's RADAN software provided a significantly faster nesting process, reducing generation time from hours to minutes, which optimized labor. The solution also allowed for the editing of automatically generated nests and integrated with TCI's MRP system via RADAN MRP Essentials to automatically generate and sort nested projects from production schedules. This integration from Hexagon was critical for tracking daily operations and resulted in greater overall efficiency, eliminating the need for a full-time nesting employee.
