Biesse Optiplanning Software -

Biesse OptiPlanning is a specialized production planning and cutting optimization software developed by Biesse to maximize efficiency in panel-processing operations. Primarily designed for use with Selco beam saws, it calculates the most cost-effective cutting patterns based on available raw materials and the list of pieces required for production.

When you integrate this with Biesse’s production control systems, you can generate barcode labels for every nested panel. The operator scans the code at the router, and the machine knows exactly which program to run, which tools to warm up, and which offcuts to save.

Have you ever had a rush job come in on a Friday at 4:00 PM?

: Basic optimization for low volumes and single-machine setups.

1. Customizable Optimization Parameters: Optiplanning allows users to customize optimization parameters, such as material utilization, cutting priorities, and component placement.
2. Multi-Objective Optimization: The software supports multi-objective optimization, allowing users to balance competing objectives such as material utilization, production time, and cost.
3. Integration with Other Biesse Software: Optiplanning integrates with other Biesse software solutions, such as BiesseCAD and BiesseCAM, to provide a comprehensive manufacturing solution.

• Licensing and edition choice materially affect functionality (automatic stock, advanced algorithms).
• Best results require accurate panel/inventory data and correct parameterization (saw kerf, grain direction, priorities).
• Manufacturer documentation warns against installing unapproved software on the PC connected to machines and expects trained operators.
• Integration with non-Biesse equipment may require additional configuration or middleware.

• Feeds from CAD/furniture-design systems and ERP reduce manual data entry.
• Can transmit optimized cutting patterns to Biesse machines and line supervisors; often paired with other Biesse software (B_NEST, B_SOLID, SmartConnection) in Industry 4.0 workflows.
• Typical workflow: import parts list → set materials/parameters/warehouse → compute optimizations → review/edit patterns → transmit to machine → track discharge piles and costs.

1. Import Data: The user imports a CSV cutting list or connects directly to an SQL database from their ERP. Alternatively, they import native CAD files (DXF, DWG, or BiesseWorks .bw).
2. Define Parameters: The user sets material library details (size: 5'x10', thickness: 0.75", grain: vertical). They assign priority levels (e.g., "Job #4452 is a rush).
3. Optimization Run: The user clicks "Calculate." Biesse OptiPlanning runs genetic algorithms for 30 seconds to 5 minutes, trying thousands of nesting permutations.
4. Review Nest: The user views the 3D nest. They can manually drag parts if they disagree with the algorithm (e.g., moving a fragile part away from the edge).
5. Simulate: The software simulates the cut to check for collisions, clamps, and vacuum zones.
6. Generate Code: OptiPlanning outputs ISO code (G-code) specific to the Biesse machine’s controller (NC1000 or latest XNC).
7. Labeling: The software can drive a label printer. Each part gets a QR code linking back to the original order for sorting and assembly.
