Manufacturing

Job shops possess a wide array of machine tools to handle the varied processes and materials required for different jobs. These often include CNC machines, lathes, waterjets, grinders, and more. They serve a wide range of industries, including aerospace, medical devices, and specialized equipment manufacturing. 

Master the Chaos of Custom Manufacturing

The varying nature of jobs leads to complex and unpredictable workflows that can be hard to organize and manage production. Low order volumes can lead to under utilization of resources, while high order volumes can create intense work pressure, making it challenging to manage the workload.

We provide manufacturing job shop solutions that streamline your entire process, from quoting to cutting. Our suite of tools, including automatic nesting, job scheduling and CAD/CAM conversion, masters the chaos of custom manufacturing. With PEP Technology’s job shop nesting software, you’ll save time, reduce material waste, and increase throughput. 

Turn Quick Quotes into Profitable Orders

In a job shop, quoting is a race against the clock. You need to be confident that every quote you send is competitive, accurate and profitable while ensuring you are the first back with an accurate quote. PEP Technology automates the quoting process, giving your business a competitive advantage. Our software creates ready to cut nests in minutes for accurate quotes. The PEP CAD Converter automates the handling of messy drawings at the same time that it identifies and corrects drawing errors to generate precise material requirements.

The ability to quote quickly and accurately means you can respond to more RFQs, win more work, and smooth out the peaks and valleys of job shop demand. You may see your quotes succeed 90% of the time by being faster and more accurate than the competition.

Maximize Material Yield on Every Single Job

Material cost is a significant variable in job shop profitability, especially when you’re running small batches or one-off orders. Every inch of wasted sheet is money lost. Our job shop software analyzes thousands of possible layouts to ensure you get the most parts from every sheet. With PEP’s Inventory module, the software tracks and optimizes the use of remnants, so nothing goes to waste and you always know what’s available for the next rush order. By minimizing scrap and maximizing yield, PEP Technology helps you turn every job into profitable work.

The Drive for a Smarter Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing sector is continually seeking greater efficiency, tighter margins and a competitive edge. With rising material prices, labor shortages, and global competition, manufacturers need ways to do more with less. Relying on legacy systems and manual workflows is a direct threat to profitability. Smarter manufacturing leverages software to turn operational data into a strategic advantage. PEP Technology helps create more value with fewer resources by systematically eliminating waste. 

From Broad Challenges to Specific Solutions

How much time does your team currently lose to manual nesting or back-and-forth revisions for quotes? An inaccurate quote erodes job profitability and manual file conversions can add hours to every job. Manufacturing facilities risk losing track of inventory, running short on raw materials, and watching an order go to the competition. The margin for error is razor-thin in many sectors. 

Manufacturing facilities and job shops require an industry-specialized tool that can provide accurate quotes, optimal nesting and efficient scrap elimination. Invest in nesting software for manufacturers that optimizes real, everyday work at every stage of the process.

Introducing Nesting Solutions for Manufacturing Applications

PEP Technology delivers twenty-first-century software for manufacturing facilities. With 46 years of real-world feedback and algorithm improvements, PEP isn’t just another “all-in-one” tool. It’s the most trusted software suite for facilities aiming for lean manufacturing and “lights out” production.

Engineered for facilities using laser, water jet, and plasma cutters. Our system integrates with SolidWorks and Inventor, and over 800 post-processors for OEM compatibility. PEP enables the effortless migration of thousands of archived drawings and the handling of legacy file types.

Automate Your Workflow, Empower Your Team

PEP Technology’s CAD/CAM Converter automates error detection, applies corrections and generates cutter-ready toolpaths in seconds. It is compatible with DXF, STP, PRT, DWG, NC1 and PDFs. PEP’s technology eliminates hours of tedious engineering work. Workflow automation also includes:

  • Smart tabbing automatically optimizes tabs for cleaner part removal.
  • Head raise optimization eliminates up to 85% of head raise movements, resulting in faster cycles.
  • Common line cutting reduces pierce points and boosts throughput.
  • Heat management balances cut paths for even sheet cooling.

Our software automates inventory updates, schedules jobs, and manages quoting.

Why PEP’s Manufacturing Nesting Solutions?

PEP’s automatic nesting software delivers the highest output per sheet with every run. It creates the most efficient nests by extracting real-time part data, including material, grade, thickness, quantity and revision.

PEP’s job quoting software uses actual nesting data from your CAD files. Each RFQ reflects real jobs, with full traceability for material, labor and overhead. Automated quoting eliminates guesswork, cuts quoting cycles from hours to minutes and increases win rates.
