ABC for Polyfilms
Slitting plans for BOPP, BOPET and other film plants, built on your jumbo widths, machine limits and core rules. Campaign planning is in development.
Where polyfilms planning loses money today.
Deckle combinations are worked out by hand, so the first plan that fits is the one that runs.
Patterns are built one at a time, so the slitter stops for setting changes a better plan would avoid.

Planning depends on one person's spreadsheet. When they are away, planning stops.
