Features that Meet the Needs of Your Customers & Sales Team

Optimization

RealSTEEL™ comes integrated with an advanced optimization engine that analyzes remnants. This allows for consumption of non-standard lengths while optimizing the material detailed in the sales quote. During the calculation, the optimization engine finds cutting layouts that minimize material waste and operating time.

Customer Specifications/Defaults

RealSTEEL™ offers user customization where you enter a minimal amount of information and the system will instantaneously enable defaults for all of the other attributes. Customers can have defaults for every attribute down to the item and variant level, which may include metal specifications like size and grade.

1D and 2D Optimization Calculators

1D and 2D calculators improve optimization. Reviewing the sales line and inventory of remnants, the optimizer determines the best way to yield the smallest amount of scrap or the largest remnant, while keeping your material costs low. In addition, process time is calculated, contributing to streamlined sales and increased margins.

Burn and Cut-to-Length Calculators

Our burn and cut-to-length calculators use labor rates to assess the cost, process and run times. These calculators provide immediate visibility into the time necessary for each manufacturing process requested by your customers with the ability to share that information on demand.

Order-Promising Tools

Leveraging the vast ERP capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central RealSTEEL™’s order-promising tools deliver enhanced functionality and visibility for customers and sales teams alike. From Available to Promise and Capable to Promise calculations, companies within the steel and metals industry know more with RealSTEEL™.
