Chen Metals
A steel mill and metalworks active since 1977 — five decades of fabrication and erection in Israel.
KORA on the shop floor
From the Trimble model to a cutting plan, an order list and "Ordered" in the model. For each profile the engine proves that less steel cannot be bought. Built for Chen Metals.
Text description of the film
The film has no narration, only music. Everything it says is on screen text, in this order:
- A steel beam in the dark. 886 parts, 15 profiles, 6 and 12 metre bars. How do you cut without throwing money away?
- Steel offcuts falling into a bin: every centimetre thrown away is money.
- A tired engineer at his desk: hours of Excel and hand calculations, and still no certainty it is the best plan.
- The KORA NESTING logo: nesting reports inside KORA.
- Step 1, in the project, the Trimble tab: nesting reports straight from the model, nothing to export.
- Step 2, a new nesting run: every run is saved in the project with its reports.
- Step 3, set everything on one screen: what to run, profiles, 12 and 6 metre bars, stock in the shop, saw kerf and which reports.
- 15.6 seconds, 886 parts placed. Every profile, every bar, every part with its own mark.
- Step 4, the result: 886 parts, 1,386 metres to buy, 6.7% waste, 14 of 15 profiles at a proven minimum. Shown: real bars from a run of project 4204 with a 3 mm saw kerf, 28.95 tonnes to buy.
- Step 5, six reports in one click, ready to print, for the shop and for suppliers: order list, cutting plan, graphic cutting plan, summary, offcuts created and Excel.
- Per profile detail: what to order, how much waste, and whether buying less is possible at all.
- Step 6, request for quotation: pick suppliers, and each one gets its own link with the full material list, lengths and weights.
- Step 7, mark as ordered: what was ordered does not enter the next order. And it is already in Trimble: "Ordered" with the date, on every part in the model.
- Step 8, partners see it too: Chen Metals, in the partner portal, sees the same numbers and the same reports.
- A saw cutting steel: a 3 mm saw kerf is accounted for, every cut is exact.
- A crane loading bars on a truck: order only what you need. No surplus, no needless waste, no guessing.
- A steel frame at sunset: nesting that cuts waste, not just steel. KORA NESTING by BIM TEAM.
