Software Nests Packs or Bundles for Greatest Material Yield
For fabricators of windows, doors, furniture, curtainwall, MEP, and more, Dynamic Pack Optimization software from TigerStop mathematically and precisely determines the best order to process packs/bundles of like-profiled material for optimal material yield.

In Booth B-7807, TigerStop LLC (Vancouver, WA) introduces Dynamic Pack Optimization, a secret weapon for improved material yield. Rather than nesting a single piece of stock at a time, this software optimizes entire packs or bundles of like-profiled material, quickly and accurately. It quickly calculates the greatest number of profiles an operator can load while achieving the best yield and preventing over-cutting of expensive raw stock. Dynamic Pack Optimization mathematically and precisely determines the best order to process packs/bundles for optimal material yield. It can be used in an array of industries: window and door, furniture, curtainwall, MEP, and more. Unskilled operators and seasoned sawyers alike can take advantage of Dynamic Pack Optimization’s easy-to-use software benefits, which include:
- Significantly increases yield.
- Increases efficiency.
- Prevents over-cutting of material.
- Quickly processes packs or bundles.
- Reduces raw material costs.
- Reduces labor time spent calculating how to process material.
- Customizable to the cutting envelope.
- TigerTouch offers detailed list statistics and trackable metrics.
- Remnant statistics allow you to see how much usable material is left after a job.
Being “Dynamic” means always moving and thinking, which means the operator doesn’t need to spend time doing pre-optimization prior to cutting. They also won’t have to deal with the problems associated with pre-optimization and redoing pre-optimization if the list is thrown off due to human error. This software is inherently faster than single-piece optimization, and its reporting features are available if you are familiar with the SQL programming language and have TigerTouch version 2.03 or above. You will need to download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (free) to access reports. There are also additional tools available to access SQL Servers.
