Plastic, metal, foam, wood... you name it, Harbor Sales can cut it and deliver it right to your door. A sophisticated web-application, built and developed by Harbor Sales, allows Harbor's customers to optimize their own orders before making a purchase. The web-application passes customer input to Eurosoft's OnCORE server application and then displays the optimized results to the user. If the customer places the order the job can be released to production at the saw without the need to re-optimize. Successfully implementing such a project requires close cooperation between vendor and customer. We were very honored to work with Harbor Sales and their development team on this project and the success is in large part due to their vision and their dedication to seeing it realized.

A fully automated production line, implemented in early 2013, contributes to IFI's competitive edge. The components of the automated production line include a massive storage and retrieval (S&R) system from Dakota Automation, CMS routers and several Kuka... ...offloading robots for part removal and stacking. Order information is directly relayed from the ERP system to the routers for parts production in synch with material supplied by the S&R system. Eurosoft handled the Nesting logic and posting to the CMS routers, the offloading logic for the robotic pickers (christmas tree stacking) and contributed to remnant management processing. See a video of the automated production line in action using the video icon link.

Biesse's Winstore storage and retrieval system was introduced to the American market in 2014 at the IWF in Atlanta. Since the IWF, Eurosoft has had the privilege of acting as the software integrator for several Winstore projects in North America. These projects emphasize seamless integration of the client's existing software applications into the Biesse Winstore system. Over the last 8 months our team has worked with technicians at Microvellum, CabinetVision and RouterCIM, as well as with the teams at Biesse Italy and Biesse America, to ensure that software and machinery operate in harmony. Special thanks are owed to all companies involved - their willingness to share expertise and lend resources to tackling complex problems has been a critical component of the success of these projects.

In 2013 Giben America's special projects division launched an ambitious project to design the first American-made storage and retrieval system. The result is G-Store, a brand new S&R that is fully integrated with Giben equipment. Engineers at Dakota Automation designed and built the gantry system and defined the PLC interface. Eurosoft developed an application that would track and maintain the real-world location of machines and materials that the G-Store system would interact with. Once jobs are submitted to the application's database (or added manually through the user interface) they can be released for production. The application determines the locations of the machines and materials required to produce the job, in what order, and communicates these to the gantry system, directing it where to go and what to expect when it gets there. Close cooperation between Giben America, Dakota Automation and Eurosoft, Inc. was key to ensuring that all components of the system integrated seamlessly. The first G-Store system was proudly displayed at the IWF in 2014.

Starting in 2004 Eurosoft and OMGA, Inc. partnered up for the creation of a user-friendly interface for automated programming of Omga cut-off saws. Developed in-house at Eurosoft to Omga's specifications, OmgaLinkPro™ allows users to quickly and easily create jobs for their Omga machine with minimal manual input. The software features a sophisticated ASCII import interface and template system to accommodate import of data from virtually any Ascii file format. Other features include 'Advanced Kicker Logic', which supports collecting cut parts at certain positions along the out feed conveyor(based on user definable criteria), and a customizable label printing tool with built-in expression builder. In 2013 Eurosoft updated the OmgaLinkPro software for current Windows® operating systems.

SALS (Schelling Automated Loading Software) is a software system developed in collaboration with Precision Saws and Schelling in 2012. The purpose of the project was to maximize the efficiency... ...of Schelling HV-A (High Volume & Automated Cut-To-Size) Systems by distributing the workload evenly across multiple Schelling panel saws. Using SALS, materials loaded onto a joint infeed conveyor can be directed to the appropriate saw automatically based on a variety of customizable criteria. Schelling and Eurosoft worked together to create a robust interface that would allow maximum automation of the machines but would also be flexible enough to respond to changing demands and workload.
