MANAGEMENT OF RAW MATERIALS F EAT U R ES F OR M ATERI A L MA N AGEMENT: Fabmaster consists of a specific hardware and software (to be installed on a suitable PC or Notebook of the customer) for taking, processing and filing digital photos of natural and compound stone slabs, and printing labels with the bar code. The supply includes the highresolution camera and label printer. This module allows: • Knowing exact position of each single slab and trace its different handlings • Knowing all significant information of each single slab, such as material, thickness, square foot for the US market. • Controlling and managing the entire raw material warehouse, knowing at any time the exact inventory, which is classified according to material and thickness.
• Creates and manages material classes: MARBLE, GRANITE, BRETONSTONE... Allows the user to automatically apply the optimal feed rate and RPM • Creates and manages slabs libraries • Creates and manages suppliers profile • Creates and manages creates and manages slab’s specifications • Gives the change to manages warehousing zones • Gives the change to manage min/max stocklevel thresholds
1. Positioning labels are placed on the slab 2. Picture is shot and transferred to PC 3. Defects are evidenced and saved 4. Perimeter is marked and saved 5. Required/optional attributes are applied to slab record 6. Customizable barcode label is printed and applied to slab

PROJECT P RO JE CT F EATU RES : Project consists of a specific software (to be installed on a suitable PC or Notebook of the customer), which allows to completely draw the piece to be in its completion, starting directly from the template or using the integrated CAD module. In this phase, libraries of objects (freely managed by the user) are available to simplify the project and make it faster. It is possible to link different materials and thickness (which can be selected from a library that can also be enriched with pictures) to each single piece. In the same environment, it is possible to set the various operations to be executed on the edge as well as possible laminations in order to get the desired aesthetic effect.
• A Simple and intuitive design tool • One single platform to draw shapes and define setup manufacturing actions • Parametric shapes are also avaible • Import DXF Files • Material and thickness selection is possible • Dimensions and work-types symbols are shown Contouring profile, tilted cuts, top/under mount, grooves, reinforcements • Vacuum devices can be positioned
1. A new project is created for a specific customer 2. A library of shapes is avaible to choose from 3. Shapes are parametric able to be built from like templates 4. DXF files can also be imported 5. Material and thickness are selected from lists 6. Vacuum devices are also positioned 7. All machining operations are evidenced with proper symbols

MANAGEMENT OF PRODUCTION P RO D U CTIO N MANA GEME NT F EAT U R ES: Fabmaster includes specific software (to be installed on a suitable PC or Notebook of the customer) enabling: • The selection of stored slabs with a similar fit to the piece to be machined • The arrangement of single pieces to be produced on the slabs in the warehouse, checking thoroughly for any possible collision with the cutting tools. While pieces move on the slab, it is possible to display the real “rendering” of the final project, giving special attention to both the material veins and single particulars, such as the edge machining, rabbeted slots, backsplash, etc.
• Show up to 4 slabs at the same time in order to choose one or to split the job properly • Assigns a design to a specific slab and shows a rendered view • Updates the status and availability of a slab Instock ➜ Selected ➜ Programmed ➜ Confirmed ➜ Cut • Applies of all workings specified in DESIGNMASTER • Launches work program to machines involved
1. Compare 4 slabs at a time for color and vein match 2. Placing the project drawing onto the subject slab 3. A rendered image is made avaible by the system. The user can easily match veins of different slabs on adjacent pieces 4. Manage production queue list and monitor the status of each project 5. Image Master is immediately synched and will also report the slabs status

FAB MASTERPRO W H AT FA B M AS TER PRO D OES: Module for the management of production This module includes a specific software (to be installed on a suitable PC or Notebook of the customer) enabling: • To decide the real production course (working phases) on the respective linked machine, for each single piece to be produced; the optimal sequence is automatically proposed by the system according to the single machining operations which must be carried out on each individual piece • The managing of different job orders which can also be batched, thus creating production lots (batches divided by type of material, thickness, customer, delivery date, etc.), which helps to optimize the material consumption • The stored slabs which fit better the realization of the piece to be machined • The arranging of single pieces to be produced on the slabs in the warehouse, checking thoroughly for any possible collision with the cutting tools. While pieces move on the slab, it is possible to display the real “rendering” of the final project, giving special attention to both the material veins and single particulars, such as the edge machining, rabbeted slots, backsplash, etc. • The automatic generating of the CNC machine working programs starting from the unfinished cut piece, through an interface with the CAD/CAM of the machine (not included in the supply) • The sending of the working programs to the single machines which will perform them automatically by reading the bar code of the piece • Ensuring the production traceability of the single pieces so as to know the real progress of the order. Along with the manual working phases, as well as phases that are shown on operating units but cannot be interfaced with the system. These can be monitored through the installation of “ControlPoints” (PC stations with bar code reader). On each individual production unit, it is possible to decide if the machining has been carried out properly, or if the piece must be machined again, while sending the information to the production manager.
