Semi automated lines

Automate with CIDAN’s intelligent production solutions for efficient sheet profile manufacturing. Create profiles using the nowEvolution software, which sends optimized cutting instructions to Forstner’s nowSLIT cut-to-length line with step-cut. The profiles are marked with QR codes for easy identification and contain data for CIDAN’s folding machine or Thalmann’s long folder. The operator initiates the process with a single press of a button; after cutting, the QR code is scanned at the folding machine, and bending instructions are displayed on the screen immediately.

Welcome to the future.

Step into the digital world with automation. CIDAN offers a wide range of smart production tools to upgrade and streamline a fast production flow of sheet profiles. The first step is to design the desired profile in the nowIT program nowEvolution. After a few more clicks in the Production program module, the software automatically generates cutting-optimized information for Forstner’s cut-to-length line nowSLIT equipped with step-cut. Cut pieces are marked with QR codes containing data for Götened’s folding machine or Thalmann’s long folder with angles and dimensions.

Simple and efficient.

The operator at the cut-to-length line only needs to activate the process by pressing “Run.” After cutting and marking, the QR code is used to load bending instructions directly onto the folding machine screen. Additionally, we can assist in transitioning from a semi-automated to a fully automated production line with Thalmann’s user-friendly and efficient long folders, further reducing the overall production time.

Key advantages: 

Reduces your production time

Achieves higher quality in your production

One operator can work through the entire process

This is how it works

This is what you need to create an efficient profile production.

1.

In the nuEVOLUTION program, you draw the profiles you require, through the Production module, optimized cutting information is generated for the cut-to-length line nuSLIT.

2.

nuSLIT slits, cuts, and marks all sheet metal pieces with a QR code.

3.

At the folding machine, you scan the QR code, and the correct bending program appears on the screen. Bend the profile, done!
