No saving percentage is promised in advance. Technical scope, partners and funding are checked for your specific case.
Who this is for
Manufacturers using laser, plasma or stamping processes with recurring materials.
Activity and prerequisites
KID-2025 screening references: 25. These are not final classifications or eligibility confirmations.
Check business size, revenue, location, sector exclusions, aid regime and an existing product or service where the model requires it. Missing data remains a question, not a positive assessment.
What changes
Measure, identify and physically store remnants; include them in cutting jobs by size, thickness and quality.
How the result is verified
kg new sheet metal / kg accepted parts; separately record kg remnants actually reused.
Compare orders with similar geometry, material and thickness. Weights, cutting files and part acceptance establish the balance.
Baseline, target and acceptance
Measure the baseline at your operation. An initial planning approach is around four representative operating weeks, extended or separated for seasonality and product mix. This is a planning method, not a programme requirement.
Agree the target after a trial or engineering assessment. Compare equivalent conditions without compromising quality, safety or hygiene. Retain absolute quantities so a normalized indicator cannot conceal losses.
Who delivers what
PixelAutomate
Remnant register connecting stock, cutting and production orders.
Process and equipment
Cutting technologist, equipment supplier and metrology specialist.
These are required roles, not contracted suppliers. Responsibilities, data access, timing and acceptance are confirmed before commitment.
When not to proceed
A register without storage and actual reuse does not demonstrate this model. Sold scrap is not counted as reused material.
