Press Release Summary: Cleanpak International Assisted by Nesting Technology Leader
Optimation

Press Release Body: For 30 years Optimation® has been the world leader in Part
Nesting for Optimized Material and Labor utilization. Consistently providing product
advancement leadership to industry, the company’s new Nesting Technology, AxiomVE
make previous nesting methods obsolete. The new technology, Vision Emulation™,
allows the system to “see” the shape of parts, just as human eyes would view them.
When a person looks at a part, they see the whole shape and any special features on
the part. This information is then used to determine if the part will fit in an
area of the nest. Vision Emulation eliminates excessive trial and error as well as
excessive rotation.
Cleanpak International manufactures high-performance re-circulating air handlers,
ceiling systems, walls and access floors for cleanrooms for the semiconductor and
pharmaceutical industries. The company, which operates out of a 160,000 square foot
facility in a suburb of Portland, is dedicated to providing its customers "cutting
edge cleanroom equipment at a lower cost."

Michael D. Lundy, P.E., President & CEO of Optimation noted that, “The primary
challenge to this goal is that Cleanpak is also a make-to-order manufacturer. Thus,
since each product is different, writing individual nesting programs was difficult,
time consuming and averaged only about 60% material efficiency. With Optimation's
software, the Cleanpak programmer can now nest more than 2,000 parts in a ten-hour
day with an average material efficiency of 80%.”
Optimation (www.optimation.com) offers benchmarking against any other method of part
nesting; recent benchmarks have show improvements up to 15% in material efficiency
alone. As lean efficiencies are essential, the most advanced nesting technology
guarantees the most important parts are always nested in the next available machine,
providing advanced information to integrated costing, labor reporting, and material
inventory systems. Because Optimation is strong financially and has the most
advanced technology; the company offers direct financing from its own capital
resources.
