OUR CUSTOMERS

NESTING

The ability to nest quickly and efficiently is a critical factor to your success in the steel industry. Faster and smarter nesting will reduce waste costs, whilst simultaneously boosting revenues and bottom line profitability.

Machine-specific
optimisation

DIGI-SUPPLY optimizes your nests by tailoring them to the specific parameters of your machines, such as the maximum or minimum beam length, saw angles, and drilling capabilities. These settings are configured during implementation and require no further adjustment. The algorithm also factors in precise details like clamp distance, feed orientation, and gripper size, ensuring that every aspect of your nesting process is finely tuned for optimal performance.

Theoretical off-cut
handling

With DIGI-SUPPLY, theoretical off-cuts no longer need to be processed on the beamline or booked back into inventory before reuse. Instead, they are instantly de-allocated during nesting, allowing for immediate utilization and preventing duplicate bookings. This feature maximizes material usage, minimizes waste, and helps you significantly reduce procurement costs.

Inventory & supplier
synchronization

With DIGI-DUPPLY, you can nest materials using inventory, supplier catalogues, or a combination of both. For example, if you have a few beams in stock, you can prioritize their use before automatically generating a quotation request for any additional materials needed. Supplier lengths can be pre-set based on your preferred suppliers, with the flexibility to adjust as needed. This approach optimizes material usage and streamlines the procurement process, ensuring you get the most out of your resources.

DIGI-BIM

DIGI-BIM is DIGI-STEEL' custom BIM importer and viewer and is part of DIGI-FAB. It takes information from multiple sources and instantly links it to a 3-D model. Whether on the factory floor or at the construction site, workers can easily reference the model to understand how assemblies should be constructed or how specific parts connect. It enhances your building information modeling with deeper insights, essential data, and a robust set of tools to elevate your project workflow.

PURCHASING

Efficient and effective purchasing not only streamlines your internal workflow, it also plays a huge role in maximising your profits by ensuring you are always paying the best price for your materials.

Automatic purchasing &
material (de-)allocation

DIGI-FAB automates the purchasing of steel, commodities, and fasteners, managing all stock in one system. This saves time and reduces errors. Set automatic notifications for low inventory to stay ahead of stock needs. Materials can be assigned to projects or used across multiple jobs, with remnants automatically de-allocated. This process can be automated or managed as needed, giving you full control with minimal effort.

Automatic quote
requests

DIGI-FAB automatically generates quotation requests (RFQs) based on your approved nesting jobs. With just a single click, you can send RFQs to multiple steel suppliers simultaneously, boosting efficiency. Once quotes are approved, purchase orders are created directly from them, facilitating a smooth transition from quotation to order. Additionally, DIGI-FAB enables you to merge multiple quotes into a single purchase order, further simplifying your procurement process.

Real-time purchase
life-cycle monitoring

DIGI-FAB is fully cloud-based. Data and information are exchanged with minimal to no lag. This real-time tracking of purchase life-cycles gives you tighter control and enhances status management. It’s especially beneficial for team members who need up-to-date information on bids or orders, ensuring everyone stays informed and aligned.

INVENTORY

With DIGI-FAB your real-time inventory management is centrally controlled and kept up-to-date thanks to our cloud-based approach.

Automated bill of material
(BOM) generation

DIGI-FAB's model-centric approach automates BOM generation directly from the models or files you upload. With intuitive filters, you can quickly select specific materials for your machines or opt to nest everything in one go. These filters can be pre-set or easily adjusted on the fly.

Real-time
stock control

With DIGI-FAB's cloud-based system, materials are instantly booked into inventory as soon as the 'Receive' button is pressed - no delays, just immediate availability. Automated notification management lets you set up alerts for key events, like the arrival of important orders. The purchase order overview provides clear visibility into which materials are still outstanding or which orders have been partially fulfilled, ensuring you stay on top of your inventory status with ease.

Manage your inventory
on the go

DIGI-FAB includes a mobile app that simplifies booking materials into stock. Whether it’s steel, commodities, or mechanical fasteners, you can easily record arrivals directly from your mobile device. The app also lets you assign locations, link certificates, and attach images to each delivery. Designed with a focus on intuitive, user-friendly functionality, its mobile app provides an efficient way to manage your inventory on the go.
