SPIL OPTI: Get the best yield from every sheet of glass
SPIL OPTI uses advanced optimisation algorithms to reduce material usage and processing time while maximising yield. It works with cutting tables of almost any make and integrates with SPIL ERP or any glass software on the market.

Overview
Optimisation that fits the equipment you already have
Developed by SPIL Glass Software, SPIL OPTI uses complex optimisation algorithms to reduce material usage, make processing time more efficient and deliver the best yield.
Built on the latest technologies, it makes glass optimisation convenient whatever cutting machine you run — linking with almost every cutting table, of any make. It integrates seamlessly with SPIL ERP or any other glass software on the market.
From a shape library of hundreds of simple and complex shapes to offcut racks, label printing and Opti-TV at the cutting table, SPIL OPTI streamlines optimisation and stock management and supports multi-user environments.

Capabilities
How SPIL OPTI helps your business
Advanced algorithms that cut material usage and processing time, with shape nesting, offcut management and Opti-TV — linking with cutting tables of almost any make.
Centralisation
Centralised management of glass types and sheets, so multiple users can access and track glass easily.
Offcut management
Manage offcuts with designated racks and labels so you can track and reuse them.
Versatility
Optimise with standard shapes, DXF and DWG files — a variety of input formats.
Customisation
Customisable label formats for different customer groups, so labels are clear and easy to read.
Convenience
Print labels in the office or at the cutting table — the right labels, whenever you need them.
Visualisation
Opti-TV shows the cutting process on a TV screen at the cutting table, improving accuracy and efficiency.
Identification
Automatically tag or mark every panel on the sheet being cut, so each one is easy to identify.
Inventory
Sheet stock reduces automatically in sync with cutting, for an accurate view of inventory levels.
Integration
Seamless integration with the SPIL inventory module to track stock and reserve it for specific customers or projects.
Tracking
Comprehensive reporting tracks yield versus waste across glass types and thicknesses.
Compatibility
Links with almost any cutting table on the market, whatever the make, so it fits the equipment you already have.
