Biesse — Optiplanning Software

Biesse OptiPlanning is built on powerful algorithms and offers a range of features designed for speed, precision, and flexibility:

While its primary focus is on optimizing cutting for beamsaws, it is a vital component of a larger, integrated software ecosystem. Biesse offers a suite of software tools, including for 3D CAD/CAM, b_Nest for nesting optimization, and b_Edge for edgebanding, which work seamlessly with Optiplanning. This integration allows for a smooth digital workflow from design to final production.

In the high-stakes world of panel processing, efficiency isn't just a goal—it's a requirement for survival. If you are operating Biesse or Selco machinery, you’ve likely come across , a software solution specifically designed to bridge the gap between design and the actual cutting process.

In modern woodworking and manufacturing, material yield and processing speed directly dictate profitability. As panel sizes vary and material costs fluctuate, manual cutting patterns no longer suffice. is a professional optimization program designed to maximize material utilization, minimize waste, and streamline the operation of Biesse beam saws. What is Biesse OptiPlanning? biesse optiplanning software

At its core, is a high-performance, parametric CAD/CAM nesting solution designed specifically for the woodworking and non-ferrous material industries. Unlike generic nesting software that treats every job as a simple "jigsaw puzzle," Optiplanning is deeply integrated with the mechanical DNA of Biesse machinery.

The primary objective of OptiPlanning is to minimize the "total cost" of a worklist by balancing two often competing factors: and processing time . By analyzing the list of parts to be produced and the available panel inventory, the software's algorithms generate optimized cutting patterns that reduce waste (offcuts) and simplify machine movements to shorten production cycles. Key Technical Features

Optiplanning is an optimization software developed entirely by Biesse to generate optimized cutting patterns for its renowned . Its core function is deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful: it takes a list of required parts and available panel sizes, then calculates the most efficient arrangement for cutting these panels. The software takes into account the total production costs as a function of effective material costs and processing time, ensuring that the generated cutting plan is not only material-efficient but also cost-effective. Biesse OptiPlanning is built on powerful algorithms and

: It supports batch scheduling and integrates seamlessly with ERP/MRP management systems, allowing for the automatic import of cutting lists.
