Burning Parts - nesting

[Jeff Snyder <jeffreygsnyder@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Group,

 

I am engaged with a client that burns plates. 

 

Of course this involves nesting.  MDCC is involved, as is rel 7.8 XA.

 

My question is they would like a PC burn/nesting pgm to communicate with the Iseries and 

transmit data to the various MOS involved, potentially pro-rated time to burn a plate.

 

(i.e. sent on/offs to MDCC)  They do not want to have to manually set up the MDCC nest along with the PC nesting.

 

Or perform a next off in MDCC.  They would like to have a transaction feed.

 

Has anyone out there solved this issue ?  We just didn't want to rebuild the wheel....

 

They currently are running Sigmanest and Simtrans....PC based. 

 

Thanks in Advance for any insights.
