Will the right orders ship?
A pattern can use steel efficiently and still miss the orders that matter most. Mark must-ship demand and see fulfillment in every option.
Coil planning, reimagined
Make every
coil count.
The best slit pattern is only part of the answer. SlitLogic connects the coil, the order book, and the decisions your team needs to make before steel hits the line.

The real planning problem
A clean cut can still be
the wrong plan.
Width yield matters. So do customer commitments, physical limits, excess product, and what remains after a coil is run.
Can the line actually run it?
Slit width, coil dimensions, piece weights, and configured running limits shape which plans are physically useful.
What does this choice cost?
Compare width loss, unrun material, proposed stock, and customer overage before choosing what to save.

not just the cut.

01 / PHYSICAL FIT
Start with what is real.
Bring coil inventory and open orders together. SlitLogic plans against the dimensions, weight, and tolerances in your data, then checks the resulting setup against configured limits.

02 / ORDER OUTCOME
Know who gets product.
Choose which orders must ship and which can help fill a coil. Then see where every option lands: within band, awaiting overage approval, covered by prior assignments, or short.

03 / HUMAN DECISION
Pick with your eyes open.
Compare options by product, scrap, unrun material, proposed stock, and readiness. Inspect the coil diagrams, approve any exceptions, and save the exact option you reviewed.

Built around the work
From the first import
to the next coil.
One planning workflow connects decisions that usually live in separate sheets, screens, and conversations.
01 / PLAN
Make the order book actionable.
Import coil and order sets from CSV, select the batch, set must-ship and filler priorities, and ask SlitLogic to find planning options.
02 / REVIEW
Understand every tradeoff.
Inspect fulfillment, width loss, unrun material, overages, readiness, and a visual setup for each coil before you save.
03 / REFINE
Find room in the plan.
Explore fill opportunities and run-out adjustments on saved schedules, with the effects visible before a change is kept.
04 / RELEASE
Carry the balance forward.
Release a reviewed schedule to production, account for committed material, and create the remaining coil and order sets for the next plan.
Beyond today's run
Plan the buy.
Then plan the cut.
SlitLogic’s mill coil buy workspace works from demand and stock in a workbook to show which widths and tons are worth quoting for the next planning period.
Explore it in a demoThe payoff
Less guessing.
More control.
Give planners a clearer way to balance material use, customer needs, and production reality. Give managers a decision they can inspect before steel is committed.
01
Find useful alternatives instead of settling on the first workable pattern.
02
Surface exceptions while they can still be discussed with the customer.
03
Keep the next planning cycle connected to what was actually released.
