Remnants matched to cutouts

Make a suggested match traceable to real available material.

The landing-page feature list includes automatically matching remnants to cutouts. A useful match should lead the operator to a specific piece of stock and a layout that can be inspected, rather than to a material name alone.

Existing inventory documentation explains individual identifiers, dimensions, stock filters and selecting inventory for a quote. It also separates layout selection from the saved hold or allocation. A dedicated matching article needs to document the exact candidate rules and exclusions so the operator can understand why a remnant appeared and what remains to approve.

Inputs, outputs and an example to evaluate

Inputs: Individual slabs, dimensions, material identity, location and countertop pieces.

Outputs: Inventory records, planned layouts, stock holds and applicable remnant records.

Follow a sample slab from receipt into a quoted layout and show its subsequent consumption and remnant history.

Scope to understand

The feature listing alone does not establish the matching algorithm, every constraint it applies or a tested automatic-allocation result.

Where this fits in the SlabOS workflow

How does SlabOS help a shop find a remnant for a countertop job?

SlabOS connects the job’s drawing context with recorded remnants so a potentially useful piece can be considered during planning. This brings existing material into the estimating conversation while the job is taking shape. Review the proposed remnant’s geometry, material and available status against the actual piece required.

Does a remnant match mean the piece is ready to fabricate?

A candidate match is a useful starting point. The shop still reviews the physical remnant, usable dimensions, finish or vein requirements and fabrication allowances. Keeping the material record and location current helps the team find and inspect the right piece. The inventory report explains the wider workflow from stock through remnant reuse.

Current product capabilities

The nesting page connects automatic placement of the drawn pieces to actual inventory slabs and the shop’s price lists. It describes re-nesting when the drawing changes. Yield and runtime comparisons still need a defined test dataset and retained output. Read the Slab Nesting page →

The warehouse page connects buildings, bays and racks with slab inventory, quotes and purchasing context. Per-bay capacity indicators, phone searches and printable floor plans make recorded stock location useful beyond an inventory table. Read the Warehouse Map page →
