 Cutting Material Waste
Optimum plate utilization minimizes waste
The more details you have to choose from, the better a particular dimension of plate can be utilized. To make production even more efficient, Proplate specially orders blank plates in tailored dimensions, adapted to the details that need cutting. This means that the material can be utilized optimally, resulting in the lowest possible waste. Many companies have their own plate stocks, as well as stocks located with several subcontractors. This makes it hard to have full control of the overall stock situation and to be flexible with where the plate is needed most. The Proplate Totalcut Concept reduces uncertainty through clear, transparent reporting, and flexibility increases as the plate is in the same place. Imagine that each subcontractor has a number of details that need to be cut from a single plate dimension. Now compile all these details and gauge how many permutations there are for ensuring the best possible plate utilization. This is exactly what Proplate does! We then deliver the cut-out details having used the plate in the most efficient way. |
 The plate is utilized optimally through production coordination and planning.

 Cutting Logistical Costs
Proplate coordinates deliveries and takes care of plate management
The Proplate Totalcut Concept also entails efficient order management. This means that Proplate handles contacts with plate suppliers and subcontractors, and makes sure the right components end up in the right place. Quite simply, we take care of your order and manage the job. Coordinated transport of cut-out details means that fewer trucks need to be used. This not only reduces transport costs considerably, but also has less impact on the environment. The customer is constantly informed of what is happening and has full insight into the order flow. |
 More efficient transport, shorter lead times and just-on-time delivery are just some of the benefits of the Proplate Totalcut Concept.

 Cutting 24/7
Large-scale cutting means flexi-bility, quality and high capacity
Where others optimize their operations on machining and assembly, at Proplate we optimize our operation on cutting. Large-scale cutting and machinery that runs round the clock lead to several benefits. Proplate works to long-term forecasts and can co-plan the production of large quantities of details. In addition to excellent material utilization, this ensures industrialized production with cutting machines that enable double plates to be laid out, as well as both long and wide plates. Customer benefit is key to our entire operation. Investments in new machinery and new technology should always benefit our customers. We deploy Cutting 24/7 with cutting machines that run round the clock. Proplate also continuously invests in the latest cutting technology, and our experienced cutting operators ensure the machines produce the highest possible quality. Thanks to distinct customer focus and a commitment to efficient logistics, we can also offer greater flexibility and higher precision. |
 Proplate has cutting tables that allow multiple plates to be laid out. While one plate is being cut, details can be picked off and the next plate prepared for cutting.
