Marker

Optitex Marker is a powerful marker-making solution that optimizes fabric yield and accelerates cut‑room throughput. It aggregates styles and sizes into production‑ready markers, applies advanced automated nesting, and respects production constraints and grainline rules—helping teams reduce material waste, standardize outputs, and move from costing to cutting with speed and precision.

Features

• Automated nesting engine with multi‑core optimization for faster, higher‑yield layouts
• Manual piece placement, rotation, flip, and fold support for fine‑tuned control
• Marker order definition across styles, materials, sizes, and bundles
• Constraint management for piece orientation, buffer, and matching rules
• Damage/defect avoidance and cuttable‑area masking to preserve yield
• Batch processing to run multiple nesting jobs in parallel
• Customizable reports for consumption, cost, and efficiency KPIs
• Seamless interoperability with Optitex PDS and downstream cutting/plotting

Capabilities

• Consolidate many styles and size ranges into a single, optimized marker plan
• Apply costing and production scenarios early using automatic nesting for quick iterations
• Honor fabric characteristics (nap, stripes, plaids, directional prints) and grain constraints
• Work around unusable fabric sections while maintaining allocation and bundle logic
• Standardize markers with reusable templates, rules, and labeling conventions
• Export production‑ready files aligned to single‑ or multi‑ply cutting workflows

Benefits

• Lower material costs through improved fabric utilization and reduced waste
• Shorter time‑to‑marker with automated nesting and parallel processing
• Greater production reliability by enforcing orientation and quality constraints
• Faster costing cycles to support on‑demand and small‑batch decision making
• Higher cut‑room throughput with consistent, machine‑ready outputs
• Better cross‑team collaboration via standardized rules, reports, and formats
