Biesse OptiPlanning Software: A Comprehensive Solution for Optimized Nesting and Planning

Deployment: Can be run as a standalone Windows application or installed directly on the PC controlling the Biesse Selco beam saw.

  1. Use the "Common Cut" Feature: In the full version, you can force the software to align cuts across multiple sheets. This reduces tool wear on your saw blade bits.
  2. Set Up Job Templates: Save your nesting parameters (lead-in distances, ramp angles) for sheet goods vs. solid wood. Load the template before importing parts.
  3. Link to ERP: The full Enterprise version has an API. Connect it to your ERP system so that when a sales order closes, OptiPlanning auto-generates the nest file for the night shift.
  4. Training: Biesse offers advanced training classes for the full software. Learn how to use "Manual Override"—sometimes a human can improve a nest that the AI missed by 2%.

Licensing: The software usually requires a hardware dongle (USB key) or a digital license activation linked to the machine's serial number.

Multi-Job Optimization: Unlike basic versions, the professional suite allows several different jobs to be optimized together, drastically reducing waste across a whole day’s production.
