Learn in‑depth details about Gemini CutPLANNER
How does Gemini CutPLANNER work?
- CutPLANNER starts from simple data: the quantities ordered per products, sizes, fabrics
- A sophisticated mathematical algorithm groups sizes into markers than defines the number of sheets in each lay for each marker, until the ordered quantities are fulfilled
- Automatic planning is made visible and be combined interactively with manual preferences of the operator
- Once markers are created, they are seamlessly transferred to Gemini NestEXPERT to be nested
- For high work volume, a powerful alternative to using NestEXPERT is to use instead APOGY CLOUD NESTING - click here to see how this game-changer feature works
- CutPLANNER retrieves from APOGY CLOUD all needed information about fabrics price, properties, nesting restrictions, cutting & spreading equipment, labor and other costs
- Once all markers are nested and using the above information, Gemini CutPLANNER will calculate total cost for processing the order in the cutting room, including details for fabrics costs, machine operation costs, labor, etc.
- Multiple planning alternatives can be explored, to find the best option which fulfills cost, effort and time expectations
- Gemini CUTRoom Planner outputs all relevant documents needed to perform the activities and full reports for cutting room activity

How is Gemini CutPLANNER integrated in the flow?
- CutPLANNER retrieves upstream data from CreativeSTUDIO or other CAD source
- CutPLANNER retrieves order information (product quantities per size, color, fabric) from ERP or PM applications or manually from the user
- CutPLANNER retrieves cutting room information, fabrics properties, manufacturing profiles from APOGY
- CutPLANNER is integrated with NestEXPERT or APOGY Cloud Nesting for nesting the generated markers
- CutPLANNER outputs the machine files for spreaders, plotters, cutters and printers
- outputs the order cutting report in digital format to be used in ERP or PM platforms

After you finish an order you can print a central report that contains all information required for archiving and also for the cutting room. This report can be comprised in single or multiple A4 sheet, according to the order complexity (markers and lay number).
If you have installed Cut Planner on multiple workstations, we advise you to update and install the latest version of the software on all workstations. This is the only way we can guarantee full compatibility between applications and the lack of downtime in the product development process. The dongle is a hardware device (current electronic device) that gives the user the right to use the software (applications) in full license mode, based on paid licenses, and therefore we recommend that the dongle be used on a the only workstation.
When Gemini Cut Planner performs the automatic nesting, the rules and restrictions of each pattern are respected. These rules are defined for each pattern since the design phase, and refer to the rotation freedom and position on the grain axis, at the minimum distance between patterns, at matching the project on the stripes and plaids, to the alignment and matching with other patterns.
The installation kits for all of our latest versions can be found in the Installation Kits in my MyCAD account.
Users of Gemini applications receive full support throughout the warranty period. If the user is no longer in the warranty period, he must purchase a subscription that can be made from his MyCAD account.
