Intelligent Price Calculation for Blanks

Intelligent Price Calculation for Blanks

thyssenkrupp Materials Services launches AI solution smart.processing

thyssenkrupp Materials Services has developed an AI platform that digitizes the nesting process – the intelligent placement of blanks on sheet metal – and the pricing process. It is called smart.processing and is integrated into the new online shop of Max Cochius, a metal distribution provider in Germany.

From quote to order in one click

Telephone inquiries as well as manual price calculations for blanks and quotes are still common in materials distribution. The AI platform smart.processing ensures that customers can now get prices for their blanks in seconds and complete the purchase online. The complexity of the shape is no obstacle to the automated price calculation: Any shape is possible, from tubes and sheets to fully personalized free-forms. Customers can upload their technical drawing as a CAD file. Materials can be selected from all metals, from aluminum to stainless steel to copper and brass as well as special materials. In total, over 11,000 semi-finished products are listed in the Max Cochius online shop, all of which are displayed in a moveable 3D model. These can be cut to size using vertical and horizontal sawing as well as waterjet cutting.

The idea for smart.processing was developed as part of a thyssenkrupp hackathon called “hack4tk”. The Digital Technology Office (DTO) of thyssenkrupp Materials Services then took over the development of the platform in collaboration with internal customers. The plan is to introduce smart.processing in other thyssenkrupp companies, further develop the functions and use the intelligent placement of blanks in machine guidance.
